Lots have been achieved
A week back, I thought I should sign/date the Miniature Crumb Quilts that I've been creating - and found I had a total of 27 ready to fit into that arena. I then was asked if I could create "series" and I used a criteria of Edge stitch, style or colour. I ended up with some orphans and I'm not sure if I will expand them or not...
The background is my living room carpet but it doesn't seem to detract from the photos. And since I laid these upon the carpet I've made a few more - some to do with these, whilst others more trying to do something a bit different. Yesterday whilst I was moving some boxes around, found the original one I made, but I think it needs some more attention.
When you have "lockdown" which means you should stay home, it was a good way to schedule more art into my life. It was an idea that I could use my sewing machine as a semi-drawing tool that led me to these Miniature Crumb Quilts - some of the top layers are from previous small collages but most of them have been made for these.
Crumb = scraps as per the quilters world, thank Rose for the idea.
Miniature = is from a friend who just suggested the word, to do with something else
Quilt = well of course they aren't but they could be!

They are made of paper, soft card, other - a few have a bit of fabric ... and of course they all have sewing thread visible.

It was do or disappear - and of course lockdown isn't done with yet! Got a bit lost understanding what the new "government plan" ... a plan that seems to for nationwide but there is still the plan we have in our region - it does not compute in my brain at all!
Yes I loved making the quilts ... messing around with all kinds of materials but as I've said to Sandra, mostly paper.
