sewlinzi Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Just wondered if anyone might fancy doing a little "stunt" piecing for me...! I'd provide the fabric and ideas. It is Oakshott shot cottons, Cherrywood and a few home-dyed bits and gold lame - no prints or batiks In May 2010 I have a LARGE exhibition - stunt piecers would be named and given credit in the show catalogue! I'm doing a quilted yurt which is 60ft all the way round. That is 720" all the way round! I'm doing panels that will finish at 30" by 54" to make the walls but have not got it done as quickly as I had hoped. The roof will be wool tartan/tweed There needs to be 24 panels and I have almost pieced 11. Some can be plain (wholeclothy) Anyone interested??!!

Quilting Heidi Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 OK so you have to explain what a "Stunt Piecer" is! I'm assuming that you will need a very quick turn-around and I'm not sure that I can help with that but if I can squeeze something in I would be willing to.

sewlinzi Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I mean - a stand in (like in a movie) who will do some piecing done so I can catch up! Nancy Crow gets her hand quilting done by someone else, piecers get quilters to finish their quilts so I reckon quilters can ask piecers to put the top together... I need some stars, something curvy or flying geese ish, or tumbling bocks or applique or diamonds - actually ANYTHING, especially a bit abstract - simply 'cos I'm running out of time to get all the piecing and quilting done on time Of course, if anyone wants to be a "stunt quilter" as well that would be AWESOME!! (Some of the panels are on my blog a while back - there isn't especially a theme apart from the fabrics and quilting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I can't commit to anything else before mid march but if it can wait that long then let me know what you want me to do for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewlinzi Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 All stunt piecers who can help out... THANK YOU! Please email me with your address and let me know what you like to do and I'll send you some fabric (breathing SIGH of relief...) esp Paper Foundation Piecing Experts - anything spiky would be marvellous. I have had a year to do this BUT still needed to do customer quilts to finance the project and then I became an APQS Rep - etc, excuses, etc!!

Gator Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Linzi, I would like to help. What size blocks are you looking for? Do you need them finished (batting/quilted)? What is the deadline for getting blocks back to you? I'll send you a U2U when I get home from work today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWBowser Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I would like to help. If we quilt the panel do you have a particulare batting that you would like us to use? And is there any problem to using muslin for the backing or do you want the backing to be as "wild" as the top? Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delld Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Linzi, I sent you a u2u but you said a year and above you have May 2010. If is it this year I want have time but if 2011 I can help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewlinzi Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 You are all AMAZING and I've already had some emails. There will be 24 individual panels that finish at 30" wide and 54" long with binding. They will eventually be joined together possibly with industrial velcro or zips or somehow... This makes the wall that will be 54" high but 720" all the way round The panels can be wacky or simple but must use the fabrics that I mentioned - they are the link... IF anyone wants to quilt them I will be using Hobbs Polydown as it is economical and pouffy For the backs I'm using white cotton (American Muslin) that I have dyed with Hungarian powder dye so if anyone especially wanted to do the whole thing I would send the back too. The yurt is for an exhibition at Loch Lomond Quilt Show but is expected to tour other Scottish venues. It will be indoors. It will feature in Popular Patchwork magazine and in a book about Scottish quilters coming out in 2011 Depending on the logistics/cost of it travelling abroad I will try to get it into a large European show like Veldhoven or Alsace but wouldn't it be a cool thing to send to Sisters Outdoor Show?!

Ferret Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I wish I could help, it's such a cool project. I've just enlisted two 'stunt piecers' to help me out through as I am so insanely busy. How often do you get the chance to make part of a quilted house Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy G Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Linzi, Do I have to hang upside down, walk a tight rope, ride a motorbike facing backwards or fight Jackie Chan whilst piecing?:D:D:D Have sent U2U Tracy G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewlinzi Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Ha-Ha, Tracy!! I would say " I do all my own stunts" but on this project I'm running out of time. It has reaffirmed that I love quilting now, not piecing or cutting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
