ART QUILTS: The House Quilt Project and Quilting Arts Magazine

I created this 14x14 inch quilt to donate to The House Quilt Project

I had my watercolors printed on fabric by Spoonflower.

It started like this...

Then I added the flowers and hand stitching. I hope the family that receives it likes it.

I have an article in this issue of Quilting Arts Magazine Dec/Jan 2019

My article is about travel and how it influences my artwork. These small quilts are in the magazine and inspired by my trip to Cuba earlier this year.

Is it a quilt? Is it a sketchbook?

"I'll take Manhattan" handmade sketchbook (9.25 x 6 inches) by Jane LaFazio

detail "I'll take Manhattan"by Jane LaFazio

This project started about 2 years ago (?) when I was creating a project for a 3-day workshop in New York City. The workshop didn't happen and either did this part of the project. (Fabric was from City Quilter in NYC, but I see they don't carry it anymore.)

But I had the 'quilt' and knew it would make a cool sketchbook cover.

So, I added 10 pages (two-sided would make 20 pages) of Fabriano hot press watercolor paper. Hmm, maybe it will turn into a workshop after all....

Flowers in the Window ~ a small art quilt

"Flowers in the Window" (12x7.5 inches) $150. by Jane LaFazio

I love being able to leverage or extend my drawings in my sketchbook into my other work. Here is a small art quilt, created from a drawing I did of tiny flower vases in my home. I love the journal page and it was fun, and labor intensive (!) to free motion machine stitch the images.

And then I did some hand embroidery to bring out the colors in the flowers.
