Rana Quilts: Summer!
http://ranaquilts.blogspot.com/2015/06/summer.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Read blogs by lots of quilters! I discovered a passion for quilting in 1996, and have had at least one quilt in process since then. In addition to numerous quilts for family and friends, I began entering quilts in shows in 2000, and was thrilled when my first entry won a blue ribbon! View my complete profile.

Rana Quilts: Makers at the Public Library
http://ranaquilts.blogspot.com/2015/04/makers-at-public-library.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Makers at the Public Library. Suzie McCormack and I had the pleasure of being "makers". At the Portland Public Library last Saturday. Our workshop, titled "Fused Fabric Collage" was under the Youth cluster. We set up shop in a sunny spot near the children's section of the library. Two ironing boards, a table with samples and a handout describing the process, and a big table with a pile of fabric scraps and scissors. Hands on exhibits ranged from robots and electronics to soap mak...

Rana Quilts: July 2014
http://ranaquilts.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 17, 2014. The rest of the show? Quilt upon quilt of excellent workmanship, representative of so many styles we know and love. Log cabins- some of silk and velvet, Mennonite and Amish quilts of graphic simplicity, an intricate Baltimore Album. Another historical tidbit- the Baltimore Album was made by many women, each contributing a square. Ah hah. Hung beside a double wedding ring. With purple background and quilts without pattern, created with abandon. Quilts and Color. Links to this post.

Rana Quilts: Voila!
http://ranaquilts.blogspot.com/2015/05/voila.html
Thursday, May 21, 2015. I am teaching a two-day class at Sew Portland (part 2 is this Saturday.) We are working on raw-edge fusible applique. I designed an easy baby size quilt to learn on. Last Saturday we spent time choosing fabrics- each student had her own unique vision. Fabric shopping is so much fun! A huge advantage in a classroom situation or for working on the large-sized petals in this pattern. And finally, apply the binding entirely by machine. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rana Quilts: March 2015
http://ranaquilts.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 27, 2015. More classwork to share. This lesson was about quick fabric sketches from artwork- the samples given were a Matisse and Lillian May Miller. Each sketch took a couple of hours to create, although with the Mt Fuji I went back and spent another evening adding thread work. Today though, I must prepare for teaching class tomorrow- Free Motion at Sew Portland, and it's full! Links to this post. Free motion quilting; quilts; quilt classes;. Saturday, March 7, 2015.

Rana Quilts: December 2014
http://ranaquilts.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. Quilts at the Public Library. We just got done hanging this year's Art Quilts Maine Challenge Quilts at the Portland Public Library children's section. They have such an awesome, open space with lots of light and great wall space above the books. This year's challenge was, "Ocean, Lake, River- inspired by a body of water." The show will be on display through February, so make time to stop by the library. Contact me through the comments and I'll get in touch with you.

Rana Quilts: One Done!
http://ranaquilts.blogspot.com/2015/05/one-done.html
Saturday, May 30, 2015. One more student quilt from the Voila class! Lisa completed her quilt with binding to match the brown and green polka-dot flower centers and first time free-motion quilting throughout the green background. Although she nearly changed her mind on the orange petals, they make a bright, sunny quilt. Way to go! She sent along this photo with her comment, which says it all- " love it, love it, love it!

And let's not forget the parade of chairs at the workshop in Trenton this summer! I plan to be at the reception for Maine FiberArts. The coordinators have offered to drape them over the pews- I can just imagine it. Th...
