Cre-art Textiles

 New quilt I have finished this week a new quilt. In many cases, the quilt making is always so satisfying, but making the edges is always a challenge. In this short video you may se the finished project.

 

 New small quilts: I was very busy this month:  Here a bouquet from the small size quilts. Mainly all of them hand painted with soft oil pastel. And machine quilted:

 Summer Today we have an amazing weather- sunshine, and many flowers, and I decided to take pictures of them. And I show you my summer working place:)

This is a crane small quilt. Cranes always frequent guests in our area. This is a Hungarian Blue dye fabric large quilt with echo stitching. Loads of work.  This is a wild meadow quilt with two butterflies. Derwent inktense on soft cotton muslene fabric. Medium size.  This is a whimsical quilt with trees, house and river. Silk paint on cotton fabric. Iron on beads and sew on beads.This quilt was exhibited in an international quilt exhibition.

Living in countryside, it is a pleasure, during the lockdown in Hungary, that we can spend the day in our garden, without disturbing anyone, and can enjoy the beautiful sunny spring. Although my blogposts mainly are about my works, here are some details of my country living. This year my tulips are so beautiful. Some years ago they did not have enough flower, but this spring they are extremely amazing, for me.  Here is one of my Cats, she is a one year old . Ma favourite. I have some quilts, with Cat, She is my inspiration for this kind of work.  This kind of bushes are of my favourites. This is my front garden, need a bit work, but we are so busy - this spring we decided so many repair around and in the house, hopefully I can clean this small garden.  The spring yellow flower bush is on of my favourites. Last year this was the size duble, but I pruned it half .  This blue small flower is an early spring flower, this is so lovely, and loyal fl...

Some new quilts were born I did not show yet:  I write some words about this quilt above: We went with my husband to a summer trip, in August 20th, to a local city, where there was a gallery with local artists, and saw a painting with cranes on chimney, and immediately decided to create this theme . I have enjoyed all the working phase, especially the sketching, and painting. I painted the cranes with acryllic and the outside area with old gold silk paint I also use confetties, lot of-  for the bed and yarn in the mouth of one of the crane. This quilt is available in my Etsy shop.  This quilt is on hand dyed base, machine embroidered and thread sketched. I have also used hand embroidery for the bushes, french knots. Small size but very impressive colours. And by the end this is a hand painted rose-flowery quilt with painted bird- but it is interesting to see that I pre prainted the bird on another piece of fabric and cut out and sewed on the ready quilt. ...

New paintings were born: most of them are about flowers, flowery scape oil medium with palette knife, impasto. available in Saatchiart

Waterlillies, Inspired by Monet This brand new quilt was inspired by the great impressionist painter, Calude Monet. I use a stronger kind of canvas, first painted the water base with acrilyc, and painted the lighter air space with Pébeo silk paint. I fixed the paint after one day dry. I made the quilt sandwich. I have quilted together the layers, not to heavy quilts, but a medium heavy. I  have added the water lillies, from pre -painted fabrics, and leaves. I have added the dragonflies wings from pre-dyed fabrics as well. I have quilted -sketched the flowers in black. Then I use Markal Paintstick, and Derwent inktense to give more details. The quilt is available here:

This is a brand new project, a new design. This is hand painted, first I drawed the outlines of the roses, and leaves and bird Then I painted is as a painting, - it was a bit time consuming. After dry the paint I mixed some gold colour Pébeo silk paint with water and filled the base, the background. I fixed the colour with heat, with iron, under porchment paper. Then I made the quilt sandwich, the back fabric is white colour cotton fabric. I use black yarn at the edges of the flowers and the leaves. I use pale yellow yarn tho quilt the remaining part of the quilt. It is heavily quilted. The quilt is available here: here

This small art quilt was made to a group challenge. I use Derwent Inktense and Watercolour Pencils. I added more water to catch the watercolour-effect. It is interesting that I use different quilting stitches above the horizont and upper. The quilt is available here:

This is the newest version of Heron quilt. You may see the older version in a post below. So this quilt is also hand dyed , and painted. I use not only silk paint but Derwent Inktense also at the body of the Heron. I use fabric outliner - black at the outlines of the bird. I use some confetti quilting, especially the flower, and the green leaves at the feet of the bird. Interesting that I use hand dyed fabric on the border block. This dye process is a bit time consuming, but worth the energy. The quilt is available here

This small sized quilt is inspired by a russian painter. The technic is derwent, but at this picture I use not only derwent inktense pencils, as watercolour- so I use more water. But I use the Derwent Watercolour pastel pencils as well. These pencils are water soluble and it was so great to use. During the work I added the lighter colours first, as the lighter spaces in the picture, and gradually I added some darker tones of blue I use about 3-4 kind of blue, light blue, pale blue , pale turquoise blue, and dark blue. At the beginning of the work I drawed the main objects of the picture as the windmill and the flowers in the water. After finishing the painting of the top I added 3 layers and use black thread to sketch the outlines the windmill and water flowers. Later I added white fmq stitching the remaining part of the picture. I use here solid colour to let the colours get through, and finished with raw edge technic. So this is ready to frame. This quilt is available her...

This is a small quilt hand dyed base and applicated flowers. I painted the fabric with Pébeo silk paint. After one day dry I heat set it. The vase is also hand dyed fabric. I use black thread for foliage, leaves. This quilt was made for a PFA quilt challenge. Henry Mattise, Mrs Mattise. Inspired by this great  french painter. The backgrund is derwent inktence with water, the womans hear is black fabric, silk pen, and the other parts are derwent inktense. I use black thread, made the face more strong, and the lace and the necklace is made with black thread and free motion quilting. At the end I put the remaining threads to the bottom. The quilts are available here:

This is a newly made piece. I use derwent inktense pencils silk pens fabric paint thread sketching free motion quilting. It is interesting that I now tried out a new top fabric, not cotton canvas but cotton puplene, a softer lighter kind of fabric, it is much better to use for derwent inktense pencils, it was easy to use, a watercolour-like effect for the green background and cloud. The back side is beige raw cotton fabric I use polyesther batting. Very soft and easy piece.  This bird theme quilt is made on a pre quilted fabric base, originally it was a big size quilt, but I decided to cut up and made some small quilts. I embroidered small birds and branches with leaves.  This is a hand drawn quilted fiber art. First I draw the butterfly, with fabric rayon, then I added silk paint in ochre and blue-green. Then some fabric rayon for the flowers. After fixing under medium heat ironing under porchment paper I did the free motion quilting with black colour thr...
