Part one. More tomorrow(ish).

This doesn't happen much, but this time it all turned out just like it was in my head... 6 runners to show different ways you can use Bijoux in quilts, and a centerpiece with drama. 

The dress has a halter top with an asymetrical lined skirt. The hemline is all fabric collage. 

Below, you will see that it is true... I have a bugger up my butt about the term "low volume" in reference to color value. I prefer the term "low color value" as it is artistically accurate. Not only that, "Low Volume" hurts my feelings (not really hurts my feelings... more comically hurts my feelings) ... why, I think, would anyone should call color "loud"? I get that ones eyes need a place to rest, but in my little world, color is a vibrant expression of "life" as opposed to "loudness". Yo. I ain't loud. Hrrrmmpppfff. This quilt is my small ode to anti-establishment and rebellion. I must admit, I like the irony of a "low color value" background (all curved pieced strips) with eyepopping, colorful Bijoux text. 

Moving along... next to the Value Color quilt is an improved log cabin piece with my hand embroidered caravan in the center.

The quilting on "Value Color" was done by Maddie Kertay. The Log Cabin improv quilt was quilted by Michelle Schmersahl.

More closeups tomorrow(ish). And more quilts. And more about market itself.
