Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend an awesome workshop conducted by an amazing quilter Shruti rohit dandekar at KAPA studio owned by Kausalya pandit.When I first saw the abstract expression potrait done by Shruti I never thought that I will make one some day,but when you have shruti as a teacher you can do anything .....she make everything so easy.

    So I enrolled in this two days workshop n am happy that I did it.It was an awesome experience and we all learnt a lot in those two days.we started with making an outline which I managed fine

 

Then we started filling colours which was fun.We were like kids filling colours

Once done we started quilting it.

By now I was excited to finish it.once quilted we did the binding with a new technique(taught by our awesome teacher)

Here is the finished potrait I am holding n beside me is the original one by Shruti.

Now that I did this ,I am confident  to make a bigger one soon:)

For the IQG contest I entered another project...its a mini quilt showing a Rajasthani lady carrying a pail of water.Technique used in this quilt is #rawedgeapplique....its done on my #bernina using my #BSR foot and thread I have used is #aurifil.For the first time I have used a tule in this project and I am happy with the result:)

...this was inspired by an oil painting.

#HST.....just love them

 

#IQG has announced a contest on occasion of National Quilting Day...The theme was MODERN.

So I had thousands of ideas running in my mind and as ususal the last day was almost there and I was nowhere near selecting a project (actually had one but was confused if that will come under 'modern' )°so on the safe side wanted to enter another project along with it.

       Then comes my favourite HST's to my rescue:)... And TADA here it is a cushoincover with Half square triangles in Solids.I am in love with it.I made it on my #bernina and quilted with #BSR .The thread I have used is #aurifil

#Indigo madness

Am back after a loong break......this falling triangles pattern is one of my favourite....started this one long back but then it went in the UFO bin.....but had to take it out as wanna see the finished product.So here it is...only the top though😊....had to attach the backing.Hope to finish it sooon.
