Quilts made from Metal?

Is it really a quilt if it doesn't have fabric? You be the judge! Quilt Artist Karen Jurek from Cochrane, Alberta had this metal "quilt" displayed at Quilt BC last week. She created this metal art piece and it really has 3 layers, it's tied in places with metal wire and quilted in others with metallic thread. Take a close look and see the common household items Karen has used to make this unique art piece!

 Not sure if I'm going to run out and raid my husband's shop of spare parts quite yet, but I enjoyed this metal quilt!

On the Design Wall This Week

Something a little more modern - just a few more rows to sew on & then find a fabric for backing.

Chevrons

A couple table runners from a charm pack of "Little Black Dress" by Moda - stunning fabrics, I wish I had some yardage of these!

A iPad mini case for my landscaper son. I don't like the placement of the magnetic snap and the case is a little tight for use with the cover that comes with the iPad mini, but it should loosen up with use. I will try again as these little covers aren't that difficult to make!

Sewing is probably going to take a bit of a backseat over the next couple weeks as we clean up from the winter and get the yard ready for spring and summer!
