Some of the quilts at Friday’s quilting show at Neilson Park Creative Centre clearly had been made to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. This was the centre of a larger quilt and I’m wishing I had taken a photo of the entire piece.

I loved this unusual little ballet dancer in the middle of the quilting show I attended on Friday. I think she qualified for the show because she was made with leftover quilting threads.

At the quilting show I fell in love with this quilt. It’s full of squares within a square.

Yesterday I went to a Quilting show at the Neilson Park Creative Centre. I could easily finish off this challenge with nothing but quilting squares but I’ll try to be more creative than that.

I went to a quilting show today and found this adorable tea cosy. It’s not square but it is slightly round.

My daughter-in-law’s family celebrated Nowruz yesterday in Iran. I wanted to post the Iranian quilt square on this special day but I’m a day late. To those who celebrate I apologize. Thanks to Becky B for hosting March Square.

Another reminder of the green of St. Patrick’s Day. Here’s my contribution of a circles within a square for March 18th.
….getting papers ready for my Inspired by Lives and Letters class
Lendon Noe has encouraged us to make some art papers using inks, watercolour paper and tissue to use in future projects. I mixed up my walnut crystals to make walnut coloured ink and I experimented with purple and red ink.
The next step is to cut up these papers into squares and rectangles.
On the white tissue paper I used three different techniques. One was crumpling up the paper and dipping it into ink. Using red ink gives it the appearance of blood (not sure if that was a wise choice). The second technique involved folding the paper multiple times until it couldn’t be folded anymore and then dipping the edges into ink. The last method involved folding the paper like a fan and then running a water soluble ink pen down over the folds. All these techniques involved spraying the paper with some water. Not too much or the paper falls apart.
