Benartex Project #2- Peacock Petals from Nestlings By Robin

 We round up the first quarter of the year
with my second Benartex project....
Peacock Petals using fabrics
It hit store shelves in January so
keep an eye out for it.

Deep rich colors and 
a spring vibe kept niggling at 
the back of my mind.

I thought about 2 particular 
design workshops that I
adore teaching, Scrapplique'
and Fabric Collaborations.
Both concepts along with these
two fabrics inspired
my work for this challenge.
Thankfully the style of the fabric
goes beautifully with my own 
aesthetic of swirls and dots!


Admittedly, I ...

Still Processing from The Snarky Quilter

This past Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I participated in a Zoom workshop on Textural Style with Natalya Khorover. We had a two hour Zoom session each day and then homework to do for the next day’s class. The class focused on using scraps of any type to create small machine and hand sewn collages. Natalya stresses materials reuse, especially plastics, in her work and teaching, though this workshop used fabrics more than plastics.

By Friday afternoon my studio looked like a fabric scrap cannon had been fired off, I had started four pieces, and my brain was exhausted. So ...

Recalibrating in 2022 from The Snarky Quilter

Last year I began to poke my head over the parapet a bit and get out more. The landscape has changed as online teaching and get togethers become more permanent. I am so over Zoom meetings, though it can work for classes.

I used the extra home time to dive into non fabric art mediums such as collage and mixed media. Of course that meant new supplies were bought and a new learning curve was begun, which was a good thing. The basics of design and composition carried over from quilting, of course, but different mediums have different pros and ...

Hallo! aus dem Quiltbüro from Quiltmanufaktur

Vielleicht hast du es schon mitbekommen? Ich habe für die Quiltmanufaktur neue Räume gefunden! Seit Anfang Oktober habe ich eine Büro in Frankfurt Sachsenhausen gemietet, indem ich jetzt wieder alles beieinander habe - die Möbel, die vielen Stoffe, alles Zubehör und, und, und...

Ein Jahr war das mit dem Onlineshop eine wahre Ausnahmesituation! Meine Stoffe durfte ich glücklicher Weis in einem Büro bei Freuden unweit des Brückenviertels lagern, während meinen Büromöbel und mein Computer bei mir im Schlafzimmer viel Platz einnahmen. Den restlichen Inventar sowie einiges Nähzubehör, z.B. Garne und Patchworklineale hatte ich in einem Storage an der Stadtgrenze von ...

Why Do You Take Classes? from The Snarky Quilter

In the week since I wrote about the Map Play class I took with Valerie Goodwin, I read two posts about art classes. The first by Jane Davies responds to a student’s comments that she wanted to play and have fun at a workshop and then had a meltdown when she was asked to dig deeper.

From Jane Davies’ blog.

Making art IS about play and it IS fun, but that is not all it is, usually. If you are always playing and having fun, with no angst or frustration, and you are also generating images that really speak ...

A little humor first thing in the morning is like a little gift of joy.  So I was thrilled when my friend sent me this video.  Too funny and exactly the sort of thing my mother used to send to me.  She would have loved this.  This one's for you Mom.  Please know this is silly and meant to be funny.  If you don't find it so, move right along.

Upcoming Scrap Workshops from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

 One of the things I have missed the most with the pandemic is in-person teaching.  I love interacting with other quilters and inspiring them to be creative with their scraps. I am pleased to say I am starting to see some in-person workshop bookings so I thought I would let you know of a few in November.




.I will be teaching my Two Bits Scrap Mixology block on Saturday November 6th to the Willamette Valley Quilters in Dayton Oregon.  You can contact them through their website to sign up if you are interested.  It is going to be a super ...

Quilt Canada just had their 40th anniversary and for VQF it was their 45th! I have been to about a few QC’s and once to VQF. I hope to go to both again in person when QC comes back to Halifax in 2023 ...

Boro Inspired ~ from Marty's Fiber Musings

 What fun!  Started in February, 2021, in the virtual QuiltCon workshop presented by Blair Stocker of Wise Craft Handmade - Boro Inspired! A patchwork quilt with lots of hand stitching.  





Derived from the Japanese boroboro, meaning something tattered or repaired, boro refers to the practice of reworking and repairing textiles (often clothes or bedding) through piecing, patching and stitching, in order to extend their use.



I cut into a thrift shop linen blouse.....a slither of a t-shirt.....a feed sack....an aqua linen skirt plus one of my cut apart acid green floral silk skirts to add just the right ...

A New Pat Pauly Workshop! from Where Art & Life Meet

I’m sitting here in my workout clothing sans sneakers typing this as I didn’t dare put on my regular work “uniform” for fear I would never honor my Spin Class reservation that begins at 11am. And while we’re on the topic, I just have to say, workout bras are truly a form of torture. You… Continue reading A New Pat Pauly Workshop!

Applique Inspiration from From the Strawberry Patch...

More on that after the back story. This quilt, by Pat Holly and Sue Nickels is entitled "Two of Us". They're quilting sisters,  both from Michigan, and draw their inspiration from folk art applique quilts of the 1800's. They celebrate the spontaneity of our
