After many months of stopping and starting, sighing and groaning, loving and hating, I finally put the final touches on this baby quilt for my nephew Milo. It`s all wrapped up and in the mail, and hopefully will make it in time for the holidays.
何ヶ月の作業がやっと出来上がりました。クリスマスに間に合うかな？
The main light green material found in this quilt is a beautiful cotton linen blend designed by a japanese artist
ECHINO. I found this piece on an auction and bought it for a few dollars. The prairie points around the green material are made with various scraps of material; some antique japanese
kasuri, other pieces cotton remnants from past projects. I was hoping that a baby would love to touch these little pieces of fabric that poke out from the quilt.
パッチワークをする時布を切ったり縫ったりするは基本がこの緑の布はそのまま完璧だと思ったので何もせずに利用して、プレリーポイントという工夫を使って、回りは残り布で四角を二回折って飾りました。ベビーキルトだから赤ちゃんはその立体的な布を触るのが好きだろう。
This quilt was all hand quilted and embroidered, including this little spider.
このキルトは全部手でキルトラインを入れました。この小さいクモは刺繍して、可愛くなってきました。
The bottom and top of the material is covered with leaves, which I outlined with small green and white quilting stitches. The middle of the quilt was blank, so I improvised with my signature squiggles quilted in multicolor thread (my school notebooks were full of these kinds of patterns). 学生の時私のノートは全部このようなくねくねした線の模様で溢れていた。
The back of the quilt is a checkerboard arrangement of some baby soft, double gauze material designed by
Heather Ross in her FarFar Away collection. The light blue sections are full of unicorns, and in the orange area you can find many little snails. This quilt is reversible.
ベビーキルトだから後ろに
ヘザー ロスのユニコーンとカタツムリの模様の柔らかいダブルガーゼを使いました。このキルトはリバーシブルだよ。
