Hi all,
I've been a member here for awhile, but have never posted pictures. Thought you might be interested in my recent stuff The kaleidoscope quilt was created for a challenge - had to symbolize 'spring' and had to be our own design. I created the kaleidoscope blocks and frames from photos my DH took - most are from ice and snow on pine trees and weeds, some are from flower pictures. Then I inserted pictures of babies (again my DH work). The denim shirt jackets were created one day when I had a couple of orphan blocks, and I realized that my stuff is on a bed or on the wall, but no body ever sees it, so I created a line of denim shirt jackets casamanana aka Vicky :D This is Spring Sprang Sprung - I think you can zoom in for a closer look [ATTACH=CONFIG]601[/ATTACH] One of my sweatshirt jackets [ATTACH=CONFIG]602[/ATTACH] This is a closeup of one of the blocks in the quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]603[/ATTACH] |
Beautiful work!!! thanks for sharing!

I especially love the quilt. It is so different from most of the quilts I've seen. I think the black really makes the blocks pop.
The jacket is very nice also. |
I love the pictures you added....great touch. Right
not I am making a Memory Wedding Quilt for my Goddaughter. I gave squares to all the guests to sign and now I am printing photos to go on each block. I need to go some sashing fabric because I don't like the stuff I bought before. It needs something more of color to make the photos POP. I hope it turns out the way it looks in my mind. |
Thank you!

Dorian,
just a suggestion - in your photo editing software, saturate the colors, increase the amount of contrast, and increase the 'brightness' a little. That's how I got mine to keep the rich colors when I printed on the fabric casamanana aka Vicky :D |
Wow-that quilt is great. The jacket is beautiful.
|
Thanks for all the kind words. My internet connection is making me crazy, so I'm going to try putting the denim shirt jacket up tomorrow.
sorry, Vicky :cry: |
You do beautiful work!! Great idea on increasing photo resolutions! They came out brighter! :D :D
|
WOW!!!! Your quilt is really beautiful! I like how you added the photos also! Great idea!
I definitely want to add this one on my list of quilts to try! I have been trying to figure out how to make a snowflake block quilt without using appilques! This looks like it could be turned into snowflake blocks. Plus I have always liked the look of the kaleidoscope blocks! Thank you for sharing your pics and inspiration! DeeDee |
