The I of Isaac

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Stupendous Stitching: Adventures in Surface Design »

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Other

Style: Mod

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to do a group of four (they are 8" x 10") on blue. Isaac was in the news at the time and as I arranged them I realized they looked a bit like a hurricane, so . . .

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Its fun.

Thank you. They are each 8" by10". I used standard - inexpensive - canvas covered frames from JoAnns as the base and a 20" by 22" pice of fabric, cut in four pieces. Each was made individually and don't really match up, but then what does in a hurricane.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! I'm wondering... was this 1 large piece that you cut into 4 smaller pieces, or 4 individually made pieces?

Thank you. It is four individual pieces. I didn't really do anything to coordinate them except have them kind of swirl in the same direction.

I love this piece, it gives me a sense of peace and freedom. Great idea too for showing off this lovely piece of art.

Yes, SweetJasmine said it right! It reminds me of a spiral galaxy, and yet it moves in so many ways: outwards, inwards and in waves. That gives it an air of mystery and unpredictability. Your use of 4 pieces is also inspired: It adds to this sense of unpredictability and the spaces somehow serve to emphasize the movement by breaking it, rather than the reverse. It's extremely compelling. Thank you SO much for sharing it with us! :)
