Hot Air Balloon Quilts
The first weekend in October is when the annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta begins. It lasts for 9 days. I was playing one day and created four 8" x 10" wall quilts. I used crayon pastels and then painted them with a fabric medium and water to create these 4 small quilts.

These are WONDERFUL. Could you post more about your coloring process? Are you using crayons? I have colored fabric with crayons before and then ironed it. What is the purpose of painting over it with fabric medium. This is such a cool effect.

You are so talented. These are great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Daryl. We have a balloon lift off every year here for the Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend (small in comparison to yours---I've seen pictures) but it is a spectacular sight. I look forward to it every year.
ReplyDeletewow those are awesome, I love them
ReplyDeleteThose lil quilts are sooooo nice. I love that they are painted...I have been more into watercolors than sewing lately, I love that you used stitching to outline the sketches...this is what I need to do since sewing isn't thrilling me right now! Lovely work.

These are beautiful and it seems like an interesting technique for making a quilt. I may have to give it a try. Are there any instructions or tutorials for the process that you would recommend?
ReplyDeleteWow! You must have put many hours of work in those pieces. You beautifully mixed colors and quilting. As for goofing... I feel that most of the time, mistakes open an opportunity for imagination and creation. Isn't that wonderful?
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Just amazing, Daryl, I love how you combine paint and sewing.
ReplyDeleteWOW! these are all beautiful and what mistake:) :) I love how you incorporate different techniques with sewing too! TFS and have a wonderful evening.
