betty pillsbury green spiral herbs skip to main skip to sidebar welcome join me in the lovely world of crazy quilting and all things herbal i am a textile artist instructor and herbalist i ll discuss crazy quilting embroidery as well as my herb gardens and herbal products thursday april 13 2023 my quilt guild issued a color challenge this year make a block each month in the color revealed at the meeting instead of just making say an orange block i used the color wheel to work with the challenge color i decided to make crazy quilted hearts one month the color was orange using an analogous color scheme i created this analogous means the colors are next to each other on a color wheel to one side of orange is red orange on the other side is yellow orange the next month the color was light blue using a triadic color scheme where three colors are evenly spaced around the color wheel i created this heart instead of light blue i used light blue green with light red violet and light yellow orange peach the next color was yellow and i decided to go monochromatic that s using the hue tint and shade of yellow next color was purple or as it s known on the color wheel violet a split complementary scheme was used a complementary color would be directly across from the main color like red green or blue orange classic color combos to split the complementary means to use the color on either side of the complementary color purple has a complement of yellow instead of yellow i used yellow orange and yellow green next was dark green green is made by mixing blue and yellow i used blue green fabrics and green fabrics and embellished with golden yellow pink was next which was not appealing to many guild members i love pink well some pink i chose dusty pinks which is pink that has been toned down gray has been added i decided to use ecru which is a dusty red was up next i used primary colors red yellow blue well shades of primary colors shades are achieved by adding black dark blue was next dark blue is a shade of blue and i chose shades of analogous colors blue violet and blue green the final color was light green i went with tints of split complementary colors red violet and red orange what i call deep peach now to decide how to put them together the black squares that the hearts are sewn onto will finish to 8 posted by betty at 1 31 pm no comments tuesday december 5

comments wednesday august 16 2017 i just finished embroidering by hand the center of my latest crazy quilt it was done with a single strand of silk floss various manufacturers and a 10 sharp needle i used a fine line sharpy pen to trace the design onto the silk dupioni fabric then i backed the fabric with interfacing to provide support as i do not use a hoop when i embroider i used a single strand of bijoux metallic to outline the letters in crazy quilt here is a close up of the c with a penny next to it for scale it was difficult to photograph as the light bounces off of the silk fabric and silk embroidery threads the color of the fabric is a periwinkle blue a photo showing the fine needle with a strand of silk floss posted by betty at 7 01 am no comments tuesday june 27 2017 my crazy quilt therapy earned a red ribbon at the vermont quilt festival over the weekend at vqf quilts do not compete against each other they compete against a set of criteria a red ribbon means i scored 92 94 points there was also a really nice antique crazy quilt on display i enjoyed the various fan motifs and blocks as well as the cauldron motif posted by betty at 12 29 pm no comments thursday december 22 2016 crazy quilt video happy yule here is a link to a video on how i put together my crazy quilt therapy may your holidays be lovely www youtube com watch v wg2auls7t7q therapy video of my most recent crazy quilt posted by betty at 6 35 am no comments friday december 2 2016 sound the trumpets my book crazy quilts a beginner s guide has been published by ohio university press i am so grateful it was a long time coming and i appreciate all my family friends and students who kept encouraging me to quote oh brother where art thou i cannot tell you how long this road shall be but fear not the obstacles in your path for fate has vouchsafed your reward you can order the book on amazon barnes noble and from the publisher although the title states a beginner s guide there are enough tips and info to satisfy intermediate and advanced crazy quilters and embroiderers there is so much photography which i did that it would make a great coffee table book too i discuss how i put my crazies together and the thought process of choosing fabrics and threads and beads etc the first chapter is history of the crazy quilt during the last quarter of the 19th century i hope you purchase and enjoy my book i really hope you start adding embroidery and beads and all things beautiful not only to quilts but to all manner of surfaces posted by betty at 10 39 am no comments older posts home
