Heritage Keepsakes Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 For some time, Mum and I have thought about working on a quilt together. She paints and let's just say... I don't. (can't!!) With time fast running out to get this one finished, she offered to paint my borders in, which I readily agreed to. Originally designed so that quilting space was at a premium, the vine border was an idea that developed when I was well along in the construction phase. We are both pleased with the end result and are planning our next quilt together. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitepinesquilter Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Beautiful quilt! I was looking at each of the quilting designs you used, and then went back to the overall and was just awed at how secondary designs just popped out from your placements. And what a wonderful heirloom you will have to remember your Mom with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o2b Quilting Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 My mother also paints (I can't!). She does NOT quilt or piece. Can you share what types of paint your mother used? I would like to try something like this with my mom, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage Keepsakes Posted September 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thank you everyone for your really nice comments. Lucy and Bonnie: The paint my Mum used was Jo Sonja paint. She added the textile medium of the same brand and that was all she used. She mixed the colours and trialled them on some washed fabric samples first, so we could see what blended with the colour palette and so we could see how the paint would react. I'm glad we did! It took several trials of mixing paints to get a similar shade to the fabrics that we were happy with, as despite the fabric colour it was going on being quite neutral, the painting of the fabric made the first paint colour samples go very dark. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
