Fireworks - Foc de artificii

Am reusit sa termin dupa 5 zile de lucru- aproximativ- focul de artificii, un miniquilt pe care am vrut sa-l incerc sa vad daca se poate reda cat de cat efectul spectaculos al artificiilor. Nu stiu cat am reusit dar stiu ca am stat pe el aproape non stop - printre vociferarile Karinei si privirea indulgenta a sotului meu :).
E lucrat in tehnica trapunto cu organza pentru a crea razele de lumina ale artificiilor, apoi am cusut cu fir metalic auriu si metalic purpuriu fondul ca sa-l aplatizez.
Aici am pus organza peste vatelina si apoi modelul transferat pe hartie cerata

I managed to finish the fireworks after 5-day working around it, a miniquilt that I wanted to try it to see if I can render the spectacular effect of the firework. I do not know how I managed but I worked on it almost non-stop ( among karina`s vociferations and under the indulgence sight of my husband).
It's worked on trapunto technique with organza to create rays of the light , then I sewn background with gold metallic thread and metallic purple to flatten it.
Here I put organza over the wadding linen and then the transferred pattern on wax paper

Ce mi-a mai ramas din organza..
What is left of organza ....

Apoi am trecut la partea cea mai putin placuta a lucrului - "jumulitul " hartiei :))
Then I descended to the less pleasant work - "bleeding " the paper:))

Si asa arata in prima faza dupa primul cusut
The first stage after the first sewing

Dupa care am taiat vatelina exact pe langa model, lucru migalos caci trebuia sa fiu atenta sa nu tai organza.Prinsa cu lucrul am uitat sa fac poza la cum arata panza decupata de vatelina..
I cut the wadding linen besides model exactly, a meticulous work because I had to be careful not to cut the organza.Caught with the work I forgot to make a picture to show you how it looks the cutted canvas...

Am luat o bucata de panza bleumarin inchis pe care am prins in bolduri bucata de organza cusuta si am inceput sa trec din nou peste cusaturi ca sa prind organza, panza bleumarin , inca un strat de vatelina sub panza si dosul quiltului: deci patru straturi
I took a piece of dark navy canvas that I set , with pins, the piece of sewed orgnaza and then I started to sew again the seams to catch organza, the navy canvas, another layer of wadding linen under canvas and backside of the quilt, all togheter: four layers.

Si cam asa arata rezultatul dupa ore bune de quiltuit fondul
And this is the result after a few good hours of quilting

Iar aceasta este poza dupa care m-am inspirat; am desenat modelul cu mana libera "din ochi" dupa cel din poza.
And this is the picture that inspired me; I designed the pattern with carte-blanche after the one in the picture.




Mi-a facut placere sa lucrez la el dar nu cred ca m-as mai apuca asa curand de ceva similar :)
. I enjoyed the work on it but I do not think I`ll start something similar too soon:)

Toamna de basm- Fairytale autumn

Am gasit la Jo Ann un material foarte frumos colorat in degrade, in culorile toamnei si "stropit" - ca nu gasesc alt termen- cu auriu sub forma de linii subtiri ca niste meandre...si pentru ca arata tare bine m-am decis sa nu-l tai si sa-l combin cu altceva ci sa fac din el un trapunto.
Si fiindca are culorile toamnei nici nu putea sa fie folosit decat la o lucrare cu frunze moarte..zis si facut..si cam asa arata

I found at Jo Ann store a very beautifully colored fabric in the colours of autumn and "sprinkled " with gold in the form of thiny lines like meanders ... and becouse it look so beautiful I decided do not cut and combin it with another fabrics and make out of it a trapunto.
And because it has colors of autumn it couldn`t be used but for a dead leaves quilt.. .. said and done, and looks like this



Nu stiu ce folosinta sa-i dau pentru ca mi se pare destul de delicat...cred ca cel mai potrivit ar fi pe un perete poate sau pe o masa, ca decor...pana una alta nu mai am unde-l pune :))
Asa ca va sta frumos in dulap asteptand sa fie dat cadou.

I do not know what use I could find for it becouse it seems to me quite delicately ... I think the best place for it would be on a wall or maybe on a table, ... until then I can`t find a place to hang it :))
So it will be nicely waiting in cupboard waiting to be given gifted away.

Floarea soarelui - Sun flower- (wall hanging)

Cum sunt o fire curioasa cum am tot stat pe internet sa ma uit dupa quilturi lucrate si tehnici, am dat si de aceasta tehnica numita trapunto.

Being a curious person and whatching online for techniques and quilts, I found this technique called trapunto.

Este o tehnica care se aseamana cu quiltul, de fapt e tot un quilt care insa foloseste batting-ul de doua ori pentru a se obtine efectul de "in relief" al modelului aplicat sau dorit.

It is a technique that is similar to quilt, in fact is still a quilt but a quilt that uses the batting twice to get the effect of "relief" to the pattern model applied or wanted

Mi s-a parut interesanta si deosebita tehnica si am aplicat-o in doua moduri:
I found it interesting and special this technique and I applied it in two ways:

odata la un trapunto cu material aplicat
once in a fabric applied with trapunto

Si apoi la un block micut in grena , un trandafir
And then a little block in dark red, a rose

intr -o noua postare voi arata cum se face un trapunto..pana atunci pupici la toate fetele harnice!
in a new posting I will show you how to make a trapunto .. until then kisses and hugs to all hardworking girls :)<
