Featured Quilt - A Tribute to Libby Lehman
Radiance - Inspired By Libby was created by Carol Moellers. Carol, who is the featured guest on our latest show, was asked if she would like to make a quilt for a special medical fundraising event for Libby Lehman in 2014. The quilt had to be something which inspired her from Libby's teachings. All the quilts for this fundraiser were part of a special exhibit, "Inspired By Libby" at Houston IQF and at AQS Paducah shows. The quilts were auctioned off and the funds raised went to Libby's medical fund.

How Are Batiks Created?
Carol Moellers begins our new show by discussing the tools and processes for creating batik fabric, starting with a piece of white fabric. She describes how the fabric is prepared and treated with wax before applying dyes to achieve the intricate patterns characteristic of batik.
She then demonstrates how to prepare and position the appliqué elements. By using a combination of small stitches while machine stitching each element in place, she achieves the appearance of hand appliqué. Carol then shares her process on a Cool Cats mini quilt.

"Batik Star" by Cathy Perlmutter
In keeping with the batik theme this week, we are featuring Batik Star by Cathy Perlmutter. Cathy feels her Batik Star has a different mood than her other improv triangle quilts because of the batiks, giving off a soft feeling. Cathy loves quilts that have uneven edges, so she gave her Batik Star a pillowcase finish to represent that look.
See more of Cathy's quilts in Learn Improv Log Cabin Triangle Piecing, Cityscapes, and Judaic Quilting with Cathy Perlmutter. |
