Final week’s Throwback Thursday publish did precisely what I wished it to do, it introduced consideration again to our very first Cloth Collage End Line publish that debuted on August 27, 2016. This new (in 2016) weblog class was, and has continued to be, a manner that you simply my college students and readers, can share your completed material collage quilts with others.
Factor was, again then, we actually packed within the submissions—14 quilts in that first End Line alone! Now that Tom and I’ve a couple of extra years of weblog expertise underneath our belts (we handed the 100 publish mark for that individual class earlier this yr), we’ve realized that too many quilts in a single publish means the completed collages simply can’t be appreciated as they need to be.
So, in final week’s TBT, I began breaking apart that earliest End Line into smaller “To not be Missed” Throwback Thursday collections—the higher for the person quilts to shine and the artists to strut their stuff—corresponding to Anna Julia, along with her fabulous elephant (photograph above).
Please savor right this moment’s Throwback Thursday publish—Cloth Collage within the Wild—the second of three curated groupings chosen from “The End Line: Accomplished Scholar Work 1” (August 27, 2016).
As at all times, I invite anybody who wish to share their very own completed material collage quilt to click on on the button beneath for extra info. Your artwork, creativity, and tales are tremendously appreciated by all. Thanks.

In that very same April class in Australia, Anna Julia selected to make an elephant with all Kaffe Fassett materials. The big scale of the patterned materials labored completely with the rounded contours of her topic. That is actually a multi-colored creature, and Anna has used the nice and cozy tones of yellows and pinks for the sunny highlights, with the cool colours of blues and purples for the shady underside.
After I final noticed this piece, Anna had simply began on the inexperienced background. We talked about preserving bigger, extra detailed designs to the entrance, straight underneath the toes—progressing up with smaller shapes to present a way of distance. It actually labored! And I actually just like the patch of lime inexperienced within the background to stability the sturdy yellows of the brow and tusks.
