Getting my National Quilt Museum BOM quilt ready t

Getting my National Quilt Museum BOM quilt ready to go to the @nationalquiltmuseum to be displayed for a few months starting in mid October. It is an incredible privilege to have my quilt chosen to be displayed amongst so many amazing quilts. I joined the BOM in January to get the #eraseinjustice block pattern offered by @sjsacademy and designed by @quirkygranolagirl (based on a Youth Artist block). It is such a powerful block, which I didn’t see as controversial at all. I was soon surprised by the opposition to this block. Who is opposed to erasing injustice?! Apparently a lot of people. Anyway, I made the block and decided to make a few more blocks. I learned a few new techniques, caught up, and carried on with the rest of the blocks. I ended up loving the blocks and finished my quilt. The erase injustice block led me to join in the #sjsabom which is ongoing and has become a real passion. I am very thankful the National Quilt Museum for their Block of the Month program and their quality of content in general.

It is titled, ‘As Dearcáin Bheaga a Fhásann na Crainn is Airde.’ Translates from Irish, it means ‘Mighty Oaks from Little Acorns Grow.’

One of my favourite patterns of this year is now out in @makemodernmagazine. I was lucky enough to test #starlikequilt designed by @amarar_creacions back in June, and I can finally show it. Another clever pattern from Catalina, Starlike has plenty of options to customise. I like how the star has a very organic feel to it. I made my version using @janeteclare Geometry prints and her Texture fabrics. Check out @amarar_creacions to see more colour ways.

Messing with paper boats to maybe go with my #summersampler2020 quilt (see yesterday’s post). I was thinking tiny, but I am worried they won’t look like boats if I go much smaller. These are 6” wide. Maybe borders?

Stalling on some big projects today, therefor I mended 6 pairs of kids jammies, 2 trousers and a few other bits. I decided some of the extra mending clothes wold look better as a quilt block. This one is for @hellonursekate and her Gee’s Bend inspired quilt. This one has one jammie bottom leg and sleeve from an old @patagonia men’s shirt sleeve. 18.5 x 18.5”

Not much sewing being done today. Prepping for the massive temp drop and snow (it was 100 degrees yesterday). The garden is still going strong, so the beds are now covered. It looks more like my kids made crazy forts. We even brought the newly planted (very late planting) Garden Tower in. My lads are so helpful when it is important. Fingers crossed for plants and trees, but the forest fires are a lot more worrying. We have friends who live close and it has been many weeks of worry for them. From here it is just yellow fog that is snowing ash. Hoping the snow gets the fires under control quickly for so many people’s safety.

American Pie block for the @sjsacademy BOM. This block was inspired by an SJSA youth artivist, and designed by Michelle Freedman @stitchwellandprosper
It speaks about the inequity of wealth distribution in the States. A tiny percent of Americans (1%) are getting most of the pie, which leaves a huge amount of people with a small slice.
2nd photo is the rest of my finished blocks (still missing a few).

#summersampler2020 block 14, Like a Butterfly, designed by @carolina_oneto

I decided to make a centre or corners for my quilt using 4 of these blocks, but it ended up too bright to go with the rest (see last photo). Now they will be on the back in the centre. I am having a hard time choosing which layout I like best, any opinions welcome! So I started over and made a bluer version for the main quilt. Fun, quick pattern, thank you! Second photos is all of the main blocks so far.
I am using fabric by @afewscraps (ombré and circles) and @heatherrossinsta (paper boats).

Somethings that @verdelobosproject posted yesterda

Somethings that @verdelobosproject posted yesterday resonated with me. He is a brilliant writer and inspiring parent, and was talking about taking his boys to art galleries and the importance of ‘radical imagination.’ Words to live by and hopes for my boys too. I grew up in a family that lives these words. Creating is essential for feeding the soul, ‘Dream, create, build and repeat.’ He says it much better than me, so have a look at his post. His words inspired this mini quilt as a reminder. The middle pattern is from the most recent #summersampler2020 block, Glimpse, and the fabrics are all @carriebloomston

Quilting finished and fresh out of the wash, #flyingmywayquilt designed by @amarar_creacions. Thankful for the opportunity to test this new pattern for Catalina. She always has wonderful designs and well thought out patterns. @amarar_creacions has a discount on this one for a few more days. I enjoyed quilting this one on my domestic machine and trying some new free motion ideas along with some echo quilting.
Fabric is by Carolyn Friedlander (front) and Janet Clare (back). I rarely use a non pieced back, but Janet’s fabric reminded me of flight pattern maps, and I just love it.

Taking a virtual holiday with this new origami paper airplane quilt by @amarar_creacions
I finished my version of #flyingmywayquilt this afternoon and put it out to fly in the breeze. It is always a delight to pattern test for Catalina, her patterns are precise, beautiful, and clever. She also writes each one in English, Spanish and Catalan, with 2 paper formats in English.
I used some favourite fabrics from @carolynfriedlander. I have been thinking of quilting ideas while piecing, looking forward to the next step.

@amarar_creacions has a new block out today to join in to the Quilt Block Mania blog hop. I was delighted to test her Origami Paper Plane pattern. @amarar_creacions has just released a quilt to go with this block which is amazing. I am working on it now and will share progress soon. Catalina has offered a special discount on the full pattern, see her site for details.
I used @carolynfriedlander fabrics for this block and in the full mini quilt (in progress). Her ledger fabric is one of my all time favourites and is perfect for paper airplanes, and just about everything else.

Equity in Education is the topic for the August block for #sjsabom
This block was designed by @benmillett who was inspired by Stephanie B, a SJSA youth activist/artist.
This block speaks about the desperate inequity in education for students of colour. 2nd photo explains more of the symbolism of the 6 lines and the 4 pencils.
The book Pushout by @monique.w.morris is a must read educators, parents, and everyone else. Eye-opening and wonderfully written!

First border is on the #starcluster quilt. I had to modify a bit because of the fabrics I used I the first square. I really like the idea of growing a quilt gradually. Thank you @nationalquiltmuseum for the pattern.

*not my work*
My wonderful mum, Eileen Alexander, made the Brae block from the #summersampler2020 for the #summersampleralumniquilt. This block was designed by @missmake. My mum is not on social media but I wanted to share it, because I am proud of her and the block. Gorgeous block and I am so thankful for her desire to help.
*
@mringer58 and I requested black and white blocks made from the current or past Summer Samplers to honour the Black Lives Matter movement and to directly benefit the Social Justice Sewing Academy. We will be auctioning the finished quilt in the autumn. @sjsacademy enables youth activists to be seen and heard through the medium of fabric. So many brilliant blocks have already been made and shared.

Lots of people asking where to find this fabric. They have a great selection at @quilterslodge. They ship very quickly too. I went to a workshop there with Janet Clare a few (3?) years ago, and they have an amazing selection of fabric (esp Janet Clare’s lines).

I have spent the last two weeks learning about #atatianajefferson for a project with @sew4justice_sjsa

Atatiana (Tay) Jefferson was a 28 year old pre-med student, who was shot in her home on October 12, 2019, by UNANNOUNCED police. She was playing video games with her 8 year old nephew, when a neighbour called the non emergency police line because her door was open and wanted someone to check if she was ok. Senseless violence has no place in our world, especially against Black people doing things that white people take for granted (playing video games, bird watching, listening to music, sleeping...) Her mother said, ‘You were going to change the world. I believe you still will.’ Remember her! People need to wake up to this violence, change their thinking, and stop this brutality.

A little more progress on the portrait of #atatianajefferson for @sjsacademy
Reading about her life, and tragic death, has inspired me and broken my heart. Atatiana was shot in her home by unannounced police while she was playing video games with her 8 year nephew. My heart breaks for him.

Starting to translate an idea into a piece to celebrate the life of #atatianajefferson and to highlight lives lost from violence. Atatiana was 28 when she was shot by police while playing video games at home with her 8 year old nephew. The absurdity of this violence is overwhelming. This is for the #rememberanceproject with @sjsacademy

I am partnering with Mary Ringer @mringer58 to request black and white blocks made from the current or past Summer Samplers to honour the Black Lives Matter movement and to directly benefit the Social Justice Sewing Academy. @sjsacademy enables youth activists to be seen and heard through the medium of fabric. Mary and I have been inspired by the quilt that the Summer Sampler designers are making this year to proclaim that Black Lives Matter (Check out the #summersamplerblm tag on Instagram). Our quilt, which will be an alumni quilt from any of the summer samplers, will be auctioned in October, and all of the proceeds will go to SJSA. We’ll be using the hashtag #summersampleralumniquilt. We will be collecting blocks for this project until the end of August, but blocks can be sent to Mary as soon as they are ready. We need a total of 16 Summer Sampler blocks, so people will need to let us know which block they plan to make. There are only two blocks that aren’t an option to choose: the Summer Kites block designed by Katie Blakesley, which Mary made, and the Fierce block by Kitty Wilkin, that I made. ***Check below for a list of blocks that have been picked already***Mary will be sewing the blocks into a quilt top, and I will do the quilting. If you’re interested in making one of the Summer Sampler blocks to donate to this project, please let us know.

Blocks already chosen: Lakeside, Dandelion Clock, Birds Eye Weave, Oasis, Tide Pool, Sparkler, Rope Twist, Infinite Pinwheels, Fish Rack, Direction, Convergence, Mission Beach, Off Kilter, Brae, Summer Kites, and Fierce.

My quilt label arrived for my @nationalquiltmuseum

My quilt label arrived for my @nationalquiltmuseum BOM quilt, thank you! I was so worried that I had left it too late. This was such a wonderful block of the month QAL, and I learned so many new techniques. *
