My Latest Quilt Ideas Are Coming to Life!

Dreams are coming true in my art studio!  Just as I had hoped, my production speed is cranking up since I made those new molds!  My resin quilt “All the things my children gave me in May” is all sewn together and ready for framing – and my next quilt is nearly finished!

Here is my last progress shot of “All the things my children gave me in May”:

I’m so pleased with it.  To me this selection of objects says so much about the joy of my children’s childhood and how they naturally see so much beauty in the simplest things.  It’s a quality I strive to emulate, and this quilt reminds me to do that.  The flowers are from their Mother’s Day bouquets to me last year!

Also, here is a detail of the stitching.  I LOVE how subtle it is with the soft opaque white thread on the shiny translucent white resin.

Soon I’ll be framing it.  I find it more efficient to frame in batches, so when this next batch is ready you’ll get to see them in their fully finished form.  The quilts get this wonderful “natural history museum” quality with the shadowbox frames.

Next, I immediately set out to pour the resin for my next sculpture design, “The little quiet things”.  This quilt is all about the strength, gentleness and pain of being quiet.  Here is the original design:

And here is a sweet little two minute video showing you the making of it thus far.  Please note that I casted this quilt ALL IN ONE POUR!!!!  All that time making molds was worth it – it’s so much faster!  Now I’m almost finished sewing it!

I’m so excited for you to see it when it’s finished!  Heck, I’m excited to see it too!

Soon these will be ready, plus an extra quilt I’ve had up my sleeve for a while now.  You’ll get to see it soon too.

It’s so exciting to be speeding up the process!  Now the real development can get going.  I have so many ideas just waiting to come out.  Thank you so much for staying with me to watch them unfold!

With Love and speedy stitching,

Jenny
