Und wieder gab's lebhafte Diskussionen über modern vs. art quilts. Beim Treffen davor hatten wir uns auf das Thema "Cityscape" / "Architektur" geeinigt. Die Ergebnisse - von Zeichnungen bis zu fertiggequilteten Werken - waren wunderschön ... und so vielfältig! Manche Damen haben auch frühere Werke gezeigt, die zum Thema passen.
Wir fangen an mit Katrins beiden Quilts. Es folgen noch viele mehr in den nächsten Posts ...
Lots of discussion about modern vs. art quilts again! At the previous meeting we had agreed on cityscape / architecture as the challenge topic. The results - from drawings to ready-quilted tops - were wonderful ... and so varied! Some members also showed earlier works that fit with the theme.
We're starting with Katrin's two quilts. Lots more to follow in the next posts ...
Satellite City Map by Katrin Möller |
Satellite City Map (Detail) |
Made up of squares in 3 sizes; the length of the sides is in a ratio of 1:2:3; the layout was inspired by Kaffe Fassett. Katrin used fabrics with a graphic design. She wanted to see what arrangement worked best with this kind of fabric: distributing them evenly or grouping them into definite blocks. The solution was somewhere inbetween the two. The idea for the quilt came from a satellite image of an urban development.

Nude: Quilt-as-you-go-Technik und Aufteilung inspiriert von Yoshiko Jinzenji (Quilt Artistry: Inspired Designs from the East). Was ich ausprobieren wollte: reduzierte Farbgebung, große Flächen, Betonung der Struktur, Auswirkung von kleinen Abweichungen in den sonst einfachen Quiltlinien.
Quilt-as-you-go technique. Arrangement inspired by Yoshiko Jinzenji (Quilt Artistry: Inspired Designs from the East). Katrin's idea was to have a minimalistic colourway and large areas of negative space. She used the quilting to emphasize the structure and experimented with the effects produced by small variations in the otherwise simple lines of quilting.
Both of Katrin's quilts are so insteresting! What a neat idea to use satellite imagery for quilt inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWonderful translation from the subject onto the quilts. I love the satellite imagery also. The nude piece is so interesting. Well done!
