I am so grateful to Laurie, the President of our Boston Modern Quilt Guild, for taking these pictures for me at the BasicGrey booth at Quilt Market. I made the sampler canvas with poofy flowers inside the wooden box.
Here it is again...I drew helpful circles and arrows lest your eyes travel to other projects, ha, ha, ha. The pincushion and thread catcher to the left of the canvas was a sample that I put together to showcase some of BasicGrey's vintage canvas patches. The design idea for the thread catcher was used with the gracious permission of Krista of Poppyprint.
Here are a couple views of the thread catcher taken before it left for market. I don't know how Krista gets good pictures of her thread catchers. They are not easy to photograph at all!
And finally, I made the sampler canvas that is hung horizontally. It looks a bit sideways to me as I intended for it to be vertical. However, I can clearly remember my art teachers telling me that a good composition looks balanced no matter which way you hold it. So, I am going to take it as a compliment that it looks as good on its side as it does right side up!
It is so super fun to see your stuff in a big event like that one!! I know they had to be very happy with it all. Love your thread catchers, I really need to make something like that. I do have a pattern!!
ReplyDeleteOh you must be so proud of yourself, what an accomplishment to have your crafted items at such a prestigous event! Krista must be thrilled to be given credit for her thread catcher pattern as well. I would be surprised if you didn't have your own fabric line in the near future. :0)
ReplyDeleteOh congrats to you. Your work is stunning, and anyone should be thrilled to have your work exhibited on their stand. Well done to you
ReplyDeleteSo super cool! The canvases look so great in the booth, and the threadcatcher really was a perfect thing to make to showcase those patches. Lovely! I bet they'll be coming to you for more work down the road too!

ReplyDeleteSo cool! I think your thread-catcher photo (the stone wall one) is great, though. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is super hard to take thread catcher photos! Love your take on the design, Amy. Your work was sure a highlight of the booth!
