I will be The Festival of Quilts at the NEC next month in the Creative Textile Studio showing the various books that I have made. In preparing for the Show I discovered I have not shown in full how I made two of the books.
This is a calico book made when I was thinking about Grids. If you go back to that post you can see how I built up the layers until I ended with this piece of painted calico.
I tore the fabric up into strips and reassembled them putting the torn edges onto the right side of the fabric. Then I folded it like the diagram below and cut where the red lines indicate.
I bonded the pages together and then machined it with orange thread for contrast. I also added some cotton fabric I had printed using my inkjet printer.Closed, the book is 15x13cms.
It's very different from the books I usually make.
Thanks for stopping by today
