Part 4 … THE CLOSE UPS!

Anita spoke at the @quiltnsw Friday showcase last week. It was a celebration of an amazing 24year quilt journey. (See our last 3 posts for more info)
as you can see Anita uses her perle thread quilting stitch’s to add colour, texture and interest. ♥️

Part 3…
A very modern quilt layout using William Morris fabrics. ♥️ and a wonderful exercise in quilting by breaking down the spaces into smaller chunks and repeating. And the signature mixing of machine a hand quilting.
This smaller quilt was made in response to a master class with @bobjames2029 using a quarter of an art piece to inform your design.
The next quilt taught Anita not to finish a quilt for a quilt show at the last minute. Having finished it the night before due day she discovered it had 2 big lumps that meant it didn’t hang straight and no time to fix it. (She has since fixed it - mostly 🤣) and of course Anita’s signature party in the back.. reversible quilts.
Blocks created in a @libselliott class, Anita, who is a rule bender, changed her layout up so that it isn’t completely obvious a Libs Elliot quilt.
And it’s pieced back.
Sorry I can’t remember the details of the next quilt, except for the use of variegated perle threads in the quilting and the wonderful sari in the back.
And finally one of Anita last finishes her tangled up in blue. Anitas version of double wedding ring. Made with 90/95% hand died fabrics… not pictured is the back that has a medallion centre indigo hand dyed shibori by @fagandenny. This quilt has been predominant hand quilted. Machine quilting stitched in the ditch and cantha stitched! 💙

Part 2 of Anita’s talk at the Friday Showcase with Quilt NSW…
Another Sari’s quilt and it’s wonderful medallion styles back. Includes appliqué spots over points that don’t match ♥️
Inspired by Louise Bourgeois, Anita played with red and white stripes. And it’s funky diagonal back.
A foray into quilt as you go.
Anita loves to mix media quilt, machine, with some hand quilting, in various threads. Creates such interesting textures.
A modern quilt with a pineapple block on point and prairie points. And her deliciously hand dyed fabrics on the back.
And Orange Slice. Anita’s first entry into the Quilt NSW quilt show. 11 years ago. This quilt has amazing quilting detail that really need to be seen.

Last Friday Anita Brown spoke about her modern quilt journey at the QuiltNSW Friday Showcase. It was a wonderful talk, with some excellent questions asked at the end. Anita has made 90 quilts in her 24yr adventure in quilting so far. Here is just some!
Anita’s first quilt, a Japanese inspired quilt, a bargello and it’s wonderfully pieced back.
A variation on the pineapple block.
A New York beauty and its amazing back.
And a sari quilt! Again with a party in the back!

There is more to come but that’s all I could fit in one post! … stay tuned! ♥️

Sunday Sewday March 2022 Show and tell part 4:
Kate presented her fabulous version of a Carolyn Friedlander quilt that she started in 2016 (when the Quilt Show was at Glebe). The quilt showcases appliqué, trapunto, hand and machine quilting techniques. We all agreed this is a rather fantastic finish! Well Done Kate!

@ccbutterworth gave us a live demonstration on how to fold a quilt! So be sure to turn the volume on for the end slide.

Continuing on with the slow reveal of Show and Tel

Continuing on with the slow reveal of Show and Tell from the March edition(part3) of Sydney Modern Quilt Guild Sunday sew day… our President: Anita, revealed her completed blue n white Quilt called Tangled Up in Blue which was made from 90% hand dyed fabrics. And a combination of machine, hand and Cantha quilting … special mention Denny Fagan for the hand dyed backing piece.

Anita is also continuing to work on a Japanese inspired quilt for a friend that has hand applied arcs placed randomly as she goes.
Anita is currently concentrating on some small projects as she headed in to have her hand surgery. (2 weeks ago)
We are all hoping that Anita’s recovery is going well! And that she’ll be back to sewing in no time at all♥️
