Peppered Cottons give away and my William Morris inspired art

Welcome to the last stop on the month-long Jaftex 85th Anniversary blog hop. I'm happy to be a part of this celebration. 85 years is certainly something to celebrate!

Teresa Duryea Wong. "Morris & Me" Photographed in Bryant Park, New York City. 2015
Jaftex is the parent company to StudioE, Henry Glass and Blank Quilting. When I was asked to participate, I was given a choice of fabrics from those companies to choose from and I quickly chose the Peppered Cottons by StudioE! The rules were pretty open - make whatever you want. Use these gorgeous fabrics.

I created a small art quilt, about 17 x 22 inches, inspired by one of my favorite William Morris pieces of art. I love William Morris and I have studied his art and life extensively. He is not the soft, interior decorator most people assume. He had very strong political and social views of life and helped transform our ideas of the value of both art and craft. These William Morris leaves have been in my head for quite some time! 


I added hand embroidery along both sides of the side borders... which made me think of William Morris' daughter, May Morris, who was an embroidery designer and avid teacher.

Working with these Peppered Cottons is a joy. They shimmer and have such a beautiful hand.

Now - you have the chance to win TWO packs of Pepper Cottons!



Here's how to win.

First, you can enter the Jaftex 85th Anniversary for the BIG prizes - A Janome Skyline S5 sewing machine; or 15 Fat quarter bundles and a box of Aurifil thread [48 spools]; or 6 Fat quarter bundles and a special edition tin of goodies from Schmetz Needles.
Enter here - 85th Anniversary Giveaway
85th Anniversary Blog Hop Giveaway 


 --- Hurry. The big giveaway ends soon.

OR

Second... Leave one comment here on my blog to be entered into a drawing to win two packs of Peppered Cottons.

In the comment, leave me feedback or comments about my blog in general, or this art quilt.

If you follow me on any platform/social media, you are welcome to leave a second comment and tell me where/how you follow me for a bigger chance to win the Peppered Cottons.

Winner's address must be in U.S. So if you are outside U.S. and willing to pay shipping, please say so in your comment.

Drawing will be help on October 22, 2015!

    "Thirty days has September......." Well you certainly ended this blog with a smasher. How were the PC's with applique? I have paper pieced with them using a good bit of sizing. I looked at your blog for the first time a few days ago and was taken with the beautiful photos from Tokyo. Tonight I noticed the acorns, making me think of a parade of French berets. Thank-you for sharing your beautiful work.

    Your piece is so lovely! I love William Morris's work- he had an eye for pattern that is just unequaled. I got a mass mailing today about your lecture at the Texas Quilt Museum and I got really excited! So cool, I wish I could come see it.

    I'm so impressed with your quilt. I love William Morris in home interiors. At one time I had envisioned my whole house in ceiling papers, wall papers, carpets, drapes, and textiles exclusively William Morris or inspired by him. Then I decided a whole house full is just too dark and heavy to live with daily, so now I sprinkle a bit here and there.

    I am glad Jaftex had this blog hop, otherwise I would have never known about your blog. I am going to start following you now, because I am intrigued by your work. It's different and beautiful. I wonder how on earth you were able to do applique with the Peppered Cottons. I love them, but I'd be afraid to do applique for fear of the fabric shredding at the edges. However you did it, you did a beautiful job of putting this Jacobean quilt together with these fabrics. Well done!

    I love the peppered cottons. I just got some when I was visiting a quilt shop on vacation. I had never seen them "in person". Such lovely, saturated, rich colors. I agree that the hand is wonderful on these fabrics. I am inspired by your use of the fabric and the techniques used in your quilt. I've always admired William Morris designs and would love a recommendation of a good biography about him and his work (and his daughter, too).
