I started this art quilt during a class I was teaching ~ free spirited free motion ~ and now I'm nearly finished. It needs a name. Any suggestions?

  1. Gone with the wind.... that is the first thing that popped into my head... I love the stitching flowers and the leaves...

  2. No ideas on a title, but I love it! Really like the scrim used on the feather... I've been using a lot of hand dyed scrim on "Shabby Chic" scarves this summer, and it adds such wonderful texture to them. How about "Flora & Fauna" for a title?

  5. Love this, Jane. I know you will come up with a good name for it but here is a suggestion: Ode to Autumn. I've been following your tutorial on the Strathmore site, thanks for putting that together. I love the flimsy scrim and the paper included in this quilt. Just lovely.

  11. It looks so yummy. Not sure about a name, that is usually where I lack imagination. :)

  12. beautiful...how about a title with the word Symphony in it, like Floral Symphony or Symphony in Stitches

  13. The name "Amber Quills" comes to mind. I love the suggestions too and think the cheesecloth in the feather is so evocative of the fragility of down. Lovely!

  14. It reminds me the "Autumn Wildflower Field" where I go to walk! This is so cool! Do you have to have a special kind of sewing machine to do the free motion sewing? I haven't had my machine out in ages...but this looks like fun!

    1. Yes, Roxanne, I have a Bernina (seen here http://janeville.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-studio-virtual-tour.html) but I used to free motion stitch with my $200 Singer too! thanks!

  15. I love the mix of colors and textures. It is both lively and subdued. Looks like an "Autumnal Delight" to me.

  16. Yay for hand stitching! It is lovely combined with the free motion and the different textures all work beautifully together.

  17. So pretty! May I suggest, "Free Motion Bloom"? or "Bloom in Motion"? or how about "Free Spirit Bloom"??
    Have you ever told us how big/small it is? I'm curious~

    1. It's pretty small. About 11x12 inches. I'm thinking I might add more to make it larger...
