Today we had Cristina de Miranda talk to us about her Journey Thru Modern Quilting where we learned about her love of hiking that began her inspiration for a collection of pillows. From those pillows her love of textiles blossomed and Cristina has been designing patterns for a few years. These patterns are mostly foundation paper pieced which provide accurate piecing and precision. This photo shows her design of an ice burg she saw when hiking in Newfoundland. "Icebergs were often nestled in the calm waters of the bays we trekked - quiet and stoic reminders of the cold and windy coastal winters. Spotting one was always a great reason to pause for a snack as we watched them rock back and forth or traced their paths down the coast." And here are her early plans for making a pillow and a beer can label- clearly quilt blocks can be found everywhere! Cristina is constantly using her graphic design skills even when not quilting. Keep watching for more creative pursuits by Cristina, specifically her upcoming Mystery Sew Along. You can learn more about Cristina at Ships and Violins.
Next week is our workshop with Cristina, it's going to be fantastic! |
