I had enough scraps to make a cover for a 16" cushion but not much more, especially for the two medium colours. I naturally went for 2" finished squares, cut all the pieces I needed and then set this project aside for a few days. Last weekend when I got back to it I realized that I cut all my squares 3" instead of 2"1/2 ... Easy to fix, right ?! But so frustrating ... I trimmed them and then pieced all my blocks.<br />
<br />
<i>J'avais assez de restes pour réaliser une housse pour un coussin de 16" (40 cm) mais pas beaucoup plus, particulièrement pour les deux couleurs moyennes. J'ai naturellement opté pour un carré fini de 2", coupé toutes mes pièces et ensuite laissé ce projet de côté pendant quelques jours. Quand je l'ai repris le week-end passé, j'ai réalisé que j'avais coupé tous mes carrés à 3" au lieu de 2"1/2 ... Facile à corriger, non ?! Mais tellement frustrant ... Je les ai recoupés et ensuite j'ai assemblé tous mes blocs.</i><br />

In case you are wondering about it, I prefer working with four squares blocks rathen than working row by row. I think my seams match better that way.<br />
<br />
<i>Au cas où vous vous posez la question, je préfère travailler avec des blocs de quatre carrés plutôt que de travailler en lignes. Je trouve que mes coutures coïncident mieux de cette manière.</i><br />

Ready for the second mistake ?! To get a 16" top I should have cut 8 x 8 pieces in all but obviously some were lacking. I double checked on my notes and realized that I cut 48 squares instead of the 64 needed ... Well, I have never been very good at math but I am generally not that bad ... :-))<br />
<br />
<i>Prêts pour une deuxième erreur ?! Pour obtenir un top de 16", j'aurais dû couper 8 x 8 pièces en tout mais de toute évidence il en manquait.

Hopefully I had just enough fabric to cut the extra pieces. I wanted to use my scraps but didn't want a scrappy effect if you know what I mean ...<br />
<br />
<i>Heureusement, j'ai eu juste assez de tissu pour couper les pièces supplémentaires. Je voulais utiliser mes restes mais je n'avais pas envie d'un effet "scrappy" si vous voyez ce que je veux dire ...</i><br />

On another subject ... I made a few more masks for friends these past days and wanted to add some information to my <a href="https://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/2020/04/fabric-mask-tutorial.html">tutorial</a>. I reduced the size of the mask for my goddaughter who is ten years old.<br />
⮞ I cut my pieces 7"1/2 (large) x 6" (height).<br />
⮞ I made only two pleats using the same diagram for positioning them. I marked the placements from the bottom of the mask for pleats 2 and 3 only (four marks on each side in all).<br />
⮞ I cut the ties a bit shorter, 30" instead of 34".<br />

I hesitated between two quilting design. The safer would have been an uneven grid all over but I finally went for something else. I still don't know if it will be a success or a disaster ...<br />

I chose the version that spoke to me the most among those available on the Internet and for which I had all supplies. I hadn't any elastic in my stash so I went for the ties. Actually this may be a better option with the thought of repeated cleaning. I also heard that elastic can be irritating around the ears over time.<br />
<br />
<i>Quand j'ai décidé de réaliser quelques masques la semaine dernière, j'ai lu plusieurs tutoriels et publications. J'ai choisi la version qui me parlait le plus parmi toutes celles disponibles sur Internet et pour laquelle j'avais toutes les fournitures. Je n'avais pas d'élastique dans mon stock, donc j'ai opté pour les attaches. C'est peut-être une meilleure option dans l'idée de lavages répétés. J'ai aussi entendu dire que les élastiques peuvent irriter autour des oreilles sur une longue durée.</i><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I compiled here some information and step-by-step instructions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>J'ai réuni ici des informations et les instructions pas-à-pas.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
✂✂✂</div>
<br />
1 - Prewash your fabrics. Use preferably 100% cotton fabric because of frequent washing. Quilting fabrics work well !<br />
It is a three-layers mask so you will need a front, a back and an inside piece of fabric for each mask as well as strips for the ties.<br />
Use preferably two different fabrics so that it will be easy to identify the front and back of the mask.<br />
For the inside fabric I use a light solid fabric which is tightly woven and that I don't like to use in my quilting projects for that reason ...<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>1 - Prélavez vos tissus. Utilisez de préférence du tissu 100% coton à cause des lavages fréquents. Les tissus qualité patchwork vont bien ! </i><br />
<i>C'est un masque à trois couches donc vous aurez besoin d'un morceau de tissu pour le devant, le dos et l'intérieur, ainsi que des bandes pour les attaches.</i><br />
<i>Utilisez de préférence deux tissus différents pour pouvoir identifier facilement le devant et le dos du masque.</i><br />
<i>Pour le tissu intérieur, j'utilise un tissu clair uni qui est tissé très serré et que je n'aime pas utiliser dans mes projets de quilting pour cette raison ... </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<div style="text-align: center;">
✂✂✂</div>
<i><br /></i>
2 - Cut a 9" (width) x 8" (height) piece of each of your three fabrics. This size fits my son and me for example.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>2 - Coupez une pièce de 9" (largeur) x 8" (hauteur) dans chacun de vos trois tissus. En centimètres, environ 23 x 21 cm. Cette taille convient pour mon fils et moi par exemple.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>

<i><br /></i>
3 - Layer your three pieces. First the inside fabric and then place on top back and front pieces right sides together.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>3 - Empiler vos trois pièces. D'abord le tissu intérieur et ensuite placez au-dessus les pièces devant et dos, bon côté contre bon côté.</i><br />

<br />
4 - Pin and stitch the three layers together a quarter inch from the edge, along the two 9" sides (top and bottom of the mask).<br />
<br />
<i>4 - Epinglez et cousez ensemble les trois couches à un quart d'inch du bord, le long des deux côtés de 9" (haut et bas du masque).</i><br />

<br />
5 - Turn right sides out and press carefully. Top stitch along the two sides. Your piece should be 9" x 7.5".<br />
<br />
<i>5 - Tournez la pièce dans le bon sens et repassez soigneusement. Surpiquez le long des deux côtés. Votre pièce devrait mesurer environ 9" x 7.5"</i><br />

<i><br /></i>
6 - If like me you need to have precise measurements to make even pleats you can follow the diagram below ... ;-) But uneven pleats work too and you can skip this step ... Mark the placement of the pleats with a pen, starting from the bottom, on both sides of the mask (six marks on each side in all).<br />
<br />
<i>6 - Si comme moi vous aimez avoir des mesures précises pour réaliser les plis vous pouvez suivre le diagramme ci-dessous ... ;-) Mais des plis irréguliers marchent aussi et vous pouvez ignorer cette étape ... Marquez l'emplacement des plis avec un stylo, en partant du bas, sur les deux côtés du masque (en tout six repères de chaque côté).</i><br />

<br />
7 - Bring one mark over to the next to make the pleat and pin in place. All pleats are in the same direction, towards the bottom of the mask.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>7 - Faites coïncider chaque repère avec le suivant pour créer le pli et épinglez. Tous les plis sont dans le même sens, contre le bas du masque.</i><br />

9 - Preparing the bias - Without a tool<br />
Cut two strips of 2" (width) x 34" (long). Fold the strip in half lengthwise with wrong side together and make a crease with your fingernail (or press). Fold long sides in so raw edges meet at the crease in the center and press. Fold a quarter inch on both short ends of the bias. Refold on creases and press carefully to get a 1/2" bias tape.<br />
<br />
<i>9 - Préparation du biais - Sans outil</i><br />
<i>Coupez deux bandes de 2" (largeur) x 34" (longueur). Pliez la bande en deux dans le sens de la longueur, mauvais côtés ensemble et marquez un pli avec l'ongle (ou le fer). Pliez à nouveau vers l'intérieur de manière à ce que les bords bruts se rejoignent au centre le long du pli et repassez. Pliez vers l'intérieur environ un quart d'inch à chaque extrémité du biais. Repliez sur les plis et repassez soigneusement pour obtenir un biais de 1/2".</i><br />

<br />
9 - Preparing the bias - With a tool<br />
Cut two WOF strips. Cut one end of each strip diagonally to make it easier. Starch helps as well ! Use the tool to make the bias and trim it to 34". Fold a quarter inch on both short ends of the bias. Fold in half and press to get a 1/2" bias tape.<br />
<br />
<i>9 - Préparation du biais - Avec outil</i><br />
<i>Coupez deux bandes dans toute la largeur du tissu. Coupez une extrémité de chaque bande dans la diagonale pour faciliter. Le spray de repassage aide aussi ! Utilisez l'outil pour préparer le biais et égalisez-le à 34". Pliez vers l'intérieur environ un quart d'inch à chaque extrémité du biais.

Have you also lost track of time lately ?! We are now nearing the end of five weeks of isolation and almost got into rut ... The second week had been hard for me though since I felt a bit down. Maybe in reaction to the overflow of energy I felt the first few days ... ;-)<br />

<i>Il me semble que mon voyage à Austin pour assister à <a href="https://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/2020/02/quiltcon-2020-part-1.html">Quiltcon</a> était il y a des lustres et, si j'y réfléchis, cela fait moins de deux mois ... Est-ce que vous avez aussi perdu la notion du temps dernièrement ?! Nous arrivons à la fin de cinq semaines d'isolement et nous sommes presque dans une sorte de routine ... Cependant la deuxième semaine a été un peu difficile pour moi car je me suis sentie déprimée. Peut-être en réaction à l'énergie débordante ressentie les premiers jours ... ;-)</i><br />

Usually a hand stitching project helps me when I feel depressed. I hadn't any ongoing project of the kind and decided to start something new. With soothing colours ... The layout is not final and I still have to trim the blocks. I cut the backgrounds with a larger seam allowance than usual since I was worried that these cotton / linen fabrics would fray.<br />
<br />
<i>Habituellement un projet à coudre à la main m'aide quand je me sens déprimée. Je n'avais aucun projet en cours de cette sorte et j'ai décidé de commencer quelque chose de nouveau. Avec des couleurs apaisantes ... La disposition n'est pas définitive et je dois encore égaliser les blocs. J'ai coupé les fonds avec plus de marge que d'habitude car j'avais souci que ces tissus lin / coton ne s'effilochent.</i><br />

I was happy to see in my Instagram feed this lovely quilt made by Thérèse <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cotonnade/" target="_blank">@cotonnade</a>. She used my tutorial for stitching the curves. I love the use of the checkered fabric for the binding ! It is as small quilt, about 23" (60 cm) per side.<br />

Mireille <a href="https://www.instagram.com/le_verger_de_mi/" target="_blank">@le_verger_de_mi</a> also worked with the same technique for this small quilt made out of reclaimed materials (old shirts and sheets, and even threads inherited from an aunt).

It will both document the process for myself and answer a few questions I was asked about the measurements. Particularly someone I have no way to contact wanted to know the size of the ties : 2" x 34".<br />

But I called at my doctor's office for scheduling an appointment and the medical assistant asked me to wear a mask when I come. We talked a bit and she told me they were about to run out of masks. So I asked if a DIY fabric mask would be suitable for me. And a few hours later I was sewing masks for our family ... We still have a few disposable masks left but I prefer saving them for my son's regular appointments at the hospital.<br />
<br />
<i>Si vous m'aviez demandé la semaine dernière si j'avais l'intention de réaliser des masques, j'aurais répondu "non" ... Mais j'ai appelé chez mon médecin pour prendre un rendez-vous et l'assistante m'a demandé de porter un masque quand je viendrai. Nous avons discuté un peu et elle m'a dit qu'ils étaient bientôt à court de masques. Donc j'ai demandé si un masque en tissu, fait maison, conviendrait pour moi. Et quelques heures plus tard, je cousais des masques pour notre famille ... Il nous reste quelques masques jetables mais je préfère les garder pour les rendez-vous réguliers de mon fils à l'hôpital.</i><br />

I have made five masks so far and may be sew a few others. But I won't start a mass production ... I am not very quick and I waste a lot of time pairing fabrics and choosing matching threads ... But I wanted it to be fun ! :-)<br />
They can be used on both side, with a wash in between of course ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>J'ai réalisé cinq masques pour le moment et j'en ferai peut-être quelques uns de plus. Mais je ne vais pas me lancer dans une production de masse ... Je ne suis pas très rapide et je perds beaucoup de temps à associer les tissus et choisir les fils assortis ... Mais je voulais que ce soit amusant ! :-) </i><br />
<i>Ils peuvent être utilisés des deux côtés, avec un lavage entre deux bien sûr ;-)</i><br />

I read different tutorials and took advice I found on the Internet for making them. This is the version which is accepted in some medical centres in the US. Three layers, pleats and fabric ties.<br />
The purple ones are for me of course and for my guys I used some Star Wars prints.<br />

Fabric masks are certainly less effective than the surgical masks and they do not exempt from practising social distancing. But in crisis situation they are better than nothing ... Mathieu used one yesterday afternoon for a walk with his girlfriend he hadn't seen for a month. He wanted to protect her since he spent time these past few days at the hospital and in public transport.<br />
<br />
<i>Les masques en tissu sont certainement moins efficaces que les masques chirurgicaux et ne dispensent pas de pratiquer la distanciation sociale. Mais en situation de crise, ils sont mieux que rien ... Mathieu en a utilisé un hier après-midi lors d'une balade avec son amie qu'il n'avait pas vue depuis un mois. Il voulait la protéger car il a passé du temps ces derniers jours à l'hôpital et dans les transports publics.</i><br />

My agenda became very light for this Spring ;-) So when Julie @builtaquilt asked me if I was willing to test her new pattern I was happy to agree ! I chose the Baby size option. I know I know ... the easiest choice when testing a pattern ... ;-)<br />
<br />

I chose a very different palette from Julie's original version. I did it on purpose because I like to show the versatility of a pattern. I had a lot of fun thinking about a fabric pull and piecing my project. And on top of that I'm really happy with how my version turned out !</div>

I had to customize a bit the pattern since I absolutely wanted to use one of the Bubble Letters prints for the background. They are from a collection designed by Latifah Saafir, Double Dutch Fabric. They were in my stash for a couple of years, waiting for the right project. And the time had come ! Even if I knew I was short of both I could not get that idea out of my head ... :-) And then I did a few maths and combined the two colorways of this print instead of using one fabric for the background. I also had to slightly reduce the width of the borders for the same reason. I have always been an optimistic when it comes to fabric quantity required for a project ...<br />
<br />
<i>J'ai dû un peu customiser le modèle car je voulais absolument utiliser un des deux imprimés Bubble Letters pour le fond. Ils font partie d'une collection dessinée par Latifah Saafir,</i><i> Double Dutch Fabric</i><i>. Ils étaient dans mon stock depuis quelques temps, attendant le bon projet. Et ce moment était arrivé ! Même si je savais que je n'en avais pas assez, je n'ai pas pu me l'enlever de la tête ... :-) Et donc j'ai fait quelques calculs et combiné les deux coloris de cet imprimé au lieu d'utiliser un seul tissu pour le fond. J'ai aussi dû réduire légèrement la largeur des bordures pour la même raison. J'ai toujours été une optimiste pour la quantité de tissu nécessaire à un projet ...</i><br />

Why Gelateria ?! When I look at the colours and patterns on this quilt, I think ice-cream ... Strawberrry, caramel, ... scoops topped with sprinkles, marshmallows, ... My husband suggested an italian word would be the most appropriate for ice-cream and so we ended up with Gelateria (ice-cream parlour).<br />

I thought to bring the same selection of quilts to Quiltfestival Luxembourg at the end of May. It felt to me a cohesive choice as regards size, colours and style though diverse in patterns or techniques and then interesting for visitors.<br />

<i>Je pensais amener la même sélection de quilts au Quiltfestival Luxembourg à la fin du mois de mai. Cela me paraissait un choix homogène au niveau de la taille, des couleurs et du style tout en étant diversifié pour les motifs et techniques et donc intéressant pour les visiteurs.</i><br />

Don't get me wrong ... I am a bit disappointed because I don't know if we will have an other opportunity to take part in these two events in the future. But I am well aware a lot of people are facing critical situations, for their health or financially. And I am also grateful to all people who work and risk their lives. One of my sons is a person at risk and hopefully we are all fine at the moment.<br />

Well ... the only thing I can do in this period is to stay home ... and wash my hands ... and keep calm and sew on ... ;-) So I progressed on a few projects and even started new ones. I will tell you more about them shortly!<br />
<br />
<i>Bon ... la seule chose que je peux faire dans cette période est de rester à la maison ... et de me laver les mains ... et de rester calme et continuer à coudre ... ;-) Donc, j'ai avancé sur quelques projets et même commencé de nouveaux. Je vous en dirai plus prochainement !</i><br />

First, just a quick note to mention that a few people left comments recently that I am not able to answer to. I don't know why but it has happened more frequently these past months ... If you wrote a comment and never heard from me it is probably because your email address is hidden and then I have no means to contact you. Irene, JC in TX, ... and a few "Unknown" ... ;-) if you would like to get in touch please send me an email. You can use the 'envelope' icon on the right side bar of the blog.<br />
<br />
<i>D'abord, juste une petite note pour mentionner que quelques personnes ont récemment laissé des commentaires auxquels je ne peux pas répondre. Je ne sais pas pourquoi mais c'est arrivé plus fréquemment ces derniers mois ... Si vous avez écrit un commentaire et jamais eu de mes nouvelles, c'est probablement parce que votre adresse email est masquée et donc je n'ai aucun moyen de vous contacter. Irene, JC in TX, ... et quelques "Inconnu" ... ;-) si vous avez envie d'entrer en contact, envoyez-moi un email.

I am regularly asked questions about my machine quilting and I decided to summarize all details that came to my mind in one post.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
✎ Please note that I do machine straight line quilting only (and hand quilting). I have no experience in free motion. And do not expect to hear an amazing secret ... :-) It is just a description of how I do it. But I hope you will find some useful information anyway !<br />

<i>Régulièrement, on me pose des questions sur mon quilting machine et j'ai décidé de récapituler tout ce qui me venait à l'esprit dans un article.</i><br />

<i><br /></i><span style="text-align: center;">I am very careful to the preparing steps (ironing and <b>basting</b>). I always thread baste my three layers (as for hand quilting). Except for mini quilts and cushion covers for which I just use long pins. If you are interested in a step-by-step description you can find one named 'Quilt basting' on my <a href="https://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/p/tutorials.html">Tutorial page</a>.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><span style="text-align: center;"><i>Je suis très attentive aux étapes de préparation (repassage et faufilage). Je faufile toujours mes trois couches (comme pour le quilting main). Sauf dans le cas des mini quilts et des housses de coussin pour lesquels j'utilise seulement de longues épingles. Si vous êtes intéressé par une description pas-à-pas, vous pouvez en trouvez une sous le nom "Quilt basting" sur ma <a href="https://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/p/tutorials.html">page Tutorial</a>.</i></span><br />

<span style="text-align: center;">If my piecing design requires an <b>accurate quilting design</b>, I mark all the lines with an erasable pen / pencil. If that is not the case, I just mark a few lines and then use the width of the presser foot to line up.

<span style="text-align: center;">My <b>sewing machine</b> is a Pfaff performance 5.0 with integrated dual feed system and then I don't need to use a specific presser foot. I use the regular straight stitch and set the stitch length to 3. I use the 'needle down' feature which is helpful when you have to stop in the middle of a line.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">The large sewing space on the right of the needle allows for laying the quilt rolled-up. I have worked with pieces up to 75 inches (190 centimeters) so far. We don't use any bed cover so my largest quilts are Throw size.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><span style="text-align: center;"><i>Ma machine à coudre est une Pfaff performance 5.0 avec le système de double entraînement intégré et je n'ai donc pas besoin d'utiliser un pied spécifique. J'utilise le point droit standard et je règle la longueur du pont à 3. J'active la fonction "aiguille en bas" qui est très utile quand on doit s'arrêter au milieu d'une ligne. </i></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></span>

<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">I roll the quilt so that it completely lays, in the width, on the extension table of my sewing machine. When I start to stitch from the border, it lays on my knees or my shoulder depending on the size of the quilt.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: center;"><i>Je laisse la machine entraîner le quilt toute seule. Je veux dire que je ne pousse jamais ni ne tire sur le quilt pour aider à faire avancer. J'utilise mes mains seulement pour soutenir le quilt et le guider sous le pied de la machine.</i></span><br />

<span style="text-align: center;"><i>Je roule le quilt de manière à ce qu'il repose complètement, dans la largeur, sur la table d'extension de ma machine. Quand je commence à quilter depuis le bord, il est posé sur mes genoux ou mon épaule selon la taille du quilt.</i></span><br />

<span style="text-align: center;"></span><span style="text-align: center;">For most of my projects, I use a very thin cotton <b>batting</b>. But this one below is an example with wool batting. The wool batting combined to cotton / linen fabric was more difficult to work with of course ... and required a few pins in addition to the thread basting ...

<span style="text-align: center;">For non edge-to edge quilting designs, I <b>bury all my threads</b>. You can find a description in <a href="https://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/2018/01/hiding-quilting-thread-ends.html">this blog post</a>. I know ... ;-) It takes more time than the quilting itself ... I don't bury threads one by one but I alternate between stitching and burying threads periods. Doing that way, you have to be careful to not getting the threads tangled on the back of the quilt .</span><span style="text-align: center;">..</span><br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Where to </span><b style="text-align: center;">start</b><span style="text-align: center;"> ... It depends of course of the quilting design. For the project I am quilting at the moment, the lines are slightly diagonal with a change of direction in the middle of the quilt. So for each line, I start in the middle and stitch towards the border.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><span style="text-align: center;"><i>Où commencer ... Cela dépend bien sûr du dessin de quilting.

<span style="text-align: center;">In case I work on a edge-to-edge design, I start from the border (in the middle of one side) and stitch all lines in one direction. Then I turn the quilt and start again from opposite border. I quilt all the lines in the other direction to fill the second half of the quilt. See directions on the picture below.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"><i>Dans le cas où je travaille avec un dessin bord-à-bord, je commence depuis le bord (au milieu d'un des côtés) et je quilte toutes les lignes dans une direction.

I will maybe continue to quilt it later in the day but for now I am taking the opportunity to use the computer for blogging and designing while it is free for the weekend !<br />

I guess current events also turned your everyday life upside down. But let's look on the bright side ... Having to stay at home when you are a quilter and fabric hoarder is not a big punishment ;-) Hopefully quilting allows to distract a bit from all this anxiety.</div>

Have you heard about the latest mini quilt challenge organized by Curated Quilts magazine ? I decided to take part in and bought a bundle of fabrics at their booth at Quiltcon.</div>

The theme is HST and subtraction and they ask to use the coulour palette depicted in the image above. I could have worked from my fabric stash but the task is easier when you have a ready-to-use bundle ... ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>Le thème est HST (triangles demi-carré) et soustraction et elles demandent d'utiliser la palette de couleurs représentée sur l'image ci-dessus. J'aurais pu travailler à partir de mon stock de tissus mais la tâche est plus facile avec un lot prêt à utiliser ... ;-)</i><br />

I designed it on my computer with actual colours and then reproduced the design into fabrics following my diagram. I am pretty happy with my seams and points :-)<br />
<br />

I simply quilted horizontal straight lines, a quarter inch apart, and varying thread colours.<br />

I finished it with a faced binding which seemed to be the best option as regards the design. I used Terry Aske tutorial like I did for my <a href="https://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/2017/05/ephemere-four-connected-quilts.html">Ephémère Quilt Series</a>. But facing is definitely not my favourite technique ...<br />
<br />
<i>Je l'ai terminé avec une finition cachée (faced binding ou facing) ce qui semblait la meilleur option compte tenu du design.

Victoria Findlay Wolfe was the featured artist this year and she had a special exhibit. We went to her lecture which was a look back on her quilting journey. It was really interesting to hear about her process and she shared a lot of insights, pictures and funny anecdotes. Here is one of my favourite from her quilts hung at the show, The Happy Wanderer.<br />

<i>Victoria Findlay Wolfe était l'artiste invitée cette année et elle avait une exposition personnelle. Nous sommes allées à sa conférence qui était une rétrospective de son travail. C'était vraiment intéressant d'en savoir plus sur sa démarche et elle a partagé beaucoup d'informations, photos et anecdotes marrantes. Voici un de mes préférés parmi ses quilts exposés, The Happy Wanderer.</i><br />

This year theme was Text. Each quilt had to include at least one word and text had to be a central element in the composition. The colour palette to be used was shades of gray, white, and black.<br />
My favourite in this category was Everyone be kind! made by the German Modern Quilters. I was pleased to hear that my blogging friend Melanie was involved in the making :-)<br />

I am back from my trip to Quiltcon that was held in Austin - Texas this year. Not totally recovered from all the excitement of the show and jetlag. I feel a little less like a zombie today anyway ...<br />
Quiltcon is a great show but most importantly a place where you can catch up with friends. I had three quilts in the show and my LOVE quilt was the perfect backdrop for a photo shoot with my friends Kathy, Sarah, Marla and Sophie.<br />

This time we attended ten lectures which was very interesting though a bit too much. I think we were a bit short of time for the show ... We also had a one hour workshop with Carolina Oneto which was great. It was about EPP technique with curves and how to use colours to get a transparency effect.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Cette fois nous avons assisté à dix conférences ce qui était très intéressant mais un peu trop. Je trouve que nous avons manqué de temps pour l'exposition ...

The design is more classic than what I usually make but I think the fabric choice adds a modern touch to the quilt.<br />

It is a throw size and so I decided to use a wool batting to get a comfy and warm quilt.<br />
<i>C'est une taille plaid et j'ai donc décidé d'utiliser une ouatine laine pour obtenir un quilt confortable et chaud.</i><br />

<br />
For the same reason I chose to not quilt it too densely and hand quilted it using a thick thread.<br />
<i>Pour la même raison, j'ai choisi de ne pas le quilter de manière trop dense et je l'ai matelassé à la main avec un fil épais.</i><br />

I was able to hand stitch meanwhile anyway ...<br />
<br />

I made a lot of progress over the weekend and here is what it looks like now !<br />
<br />
<i>Quand j'ai publié ma <a href="https://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/2020/01/2020-finish-long-q1.html">liste de projets</a> la semaine dernière, j'ai mis en priorité un nouveau projet inspiré par une murale que j'ai vue à Nashville. J'ai beaucoup avancé pendant le week-end et voilà à quoi il ressemble maintenant !</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyQ2Ftj5nAqM1YZSGncLJ3C2Ifqr8_5ycmdPLJXx0nfH_GXTmlhebqQ_3ABgjR_DJ-Yk47hchlOsUcEPd2_8zuuBZNBS9sH2RWvJgdDLNILU8BL5otorfrexK2XTH7VlNTy0h3JMDNoom/s1600/IMG_0378.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Luna Lovequilts - A new quilting project - Inspired by a mural in Nashville" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1047" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyQ2Ftj5nAqM1YZSGncLJ3C2Ifqr8_5ycmdPLJXx0nfH_GXTmlhebqQ_3ABgjR_DJ-Yk47hchlOsUcEPd2_8zuuBZNBS9sH2RWvJgdDLNILU8BL5otorfrexK2XTH7VlNTy0h3JMDNoom/s640/IMG_0378.JPG" title="Luna Lovequilts - A new quilting project - Inspired by a mural in Nashville" width="418" /></a></div>
<br />
For the first time I decided to draw the whole design to its actual size on paper. This quilt will be about 38" x 48" (96 x 122 cm). I chose to use Freezer Paper, first because it is a roll and so less assembling was needed than if I worked with standard size paper ...<br />
<br />
<i>Pour la première fois, j'ai décidé de tracer le design complet, grandeur nature, sur papier. Ce quilt mesurera environ 38" x 48" (96 x 122 cm). J'ai choisi d'utiliser du Freezer Paper, d'abord parce qu'il est en rouleau et donc nécessitait moins d'assemblage que si j'avais travaillé avec du papier taille standard ...</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I divided the design into 23 units and cut them out. As you can see the pieces are almost all different in size and shape. So the best option was to work with foundation paper piecing technique.<br />
I am working with the method I learned <a href="https://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/2019/11/quilting-retreat-with-jenny-haynes.html">at Jenny's class</a> last November which consists in folding the paper instead of sewing on it. I would not choose this method for tiny pieces like in my <a href="https://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/2018/12/so-dearly-qal-finished-quilt.html">So Dearly quilt</a> but this new project seemed appropriate.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>J'ai divisé mon design en 23 unités et je les ai découpées. Comme vous pouvez le voir, les pièces sont presque toutes différentes en taille et forme. Donc la meilleure option était de travailler avec la technique de couture sur papier.</i><br />
<i>Je travaille avec la méthode que j'ai apprise <a href="https://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/2019/11/quilting-retreat-with-jenny-haynes.html">au cours de Jenny</a> en novembre dernier qui consiste à plier le papier au lieu de coudre dessus.

This method allows me to open my seams and most importantly to keep the templates intact in case I need them later in the process.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Cette méthode me permets d'ouvrir mes coutures et surtout de conserver les gabarits intacts au cas où j'en aurais besoin plus tard dans la réalisation.</i><br />

To prevent the seam allowance from fraying when I peel off the Freezer Paper (like for the green fabric on the picture below ...), I gently slide a tool between the paper and the seam before removing the paper.<br />

<i>Pour éviter que la marge de couture ne s'effiloche quand je décolle le Freezer Paper (comme pour le tissu vert sur la photo ci-dessous ...), je glisse doucement un outil entre le papier et la couture avant de retirer le papier.</i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Finish-A-Long continues this year though a few changes has been made. The main difference is that Instagram will be the only way to post lists and report finishes. I decided to continue to write a blog post for each quarter anyway. If you would like to join in, you can find all details <a href="https://www.sarahgoerquilts.com/2020-finish-a-long/" target="_blank">here</a> on Sarah's website.</div>

<i>Le Finish-A-Long continue cette année mais cependant quelques modifications ont été apportées. La différence principale étant que Instagram sera le seul moyen de publier les listes et annoncer les projets terminés. J'ai décidé de quand même continuer à écrire un article de blog pour chaque trimestre. Si vous avez envie de participer, vous pouvez trouver tous les détails <a href="https://www.sarahgoerquilts.com/2020-finish-a-long/" target="_blank">ici</a> sur le site web de Sarah.</i></div>

I am particularly happy with how my quilting turned out at the top of the quilt. I had been wanting to work with a black background and quilt it with contrasted threads for a while. Actually since I made my <a href="http://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/2017/06/rythme-finished-quilt.html">Rythme quilt</a> for which I used black fabric for the backing.<br />
<br />
<i>Je suis particulièrement contente du rendu de mon quilting en haut du quilt. J'avais envie depuis longtemps de travailler avec un fond noir et le quilter avec des fils contrastés. En fait, depuis que j'ai réalisé mon <a href="http://lunalovequilts.blogspot.com/2017/06/rythme-finished-quilt.html">quilt Rythme</a> pour lequel j'ai utilisé un tissu noir au dos.</i><br />

I was stitching by hand the binding onto the back when I decided to unstitch it on a whole side. From the beginning I wasn't very pleased with the yellow piece of fabric I added to the binding to the right of the quilt. It was too large and misplaced relative to the design. I first tried to persuade myself, unsuccessfully, I could live with that ... ;-)<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>J'étais en train de rabattre le binding au dos quand j'ai décidé de le défaire sur tout un côté. Depuis le début, je n'étais pas très satisfaite de la pièce de tissu jaune que j'avais ajoutée au binding, sur le côté droit du quilt. elle était trop large et mal placée par rapport au design. J'ai d'abord essayé de me persuader, sans succès, que je pouvais vivre avec ... ;-)</i><br />

<br />
I decided to finish them before tackling the quilting on two small wall hangings that are waiting on the pile.<br />
<i>J'ai décidé de les terminer avant de m'occuper de quilter deux panneaux muraux qui attendent sur la pile.</i><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo1beYIYY2f7oQnDUwLBwRjOYPPozbJ8nNDGlVZOYD2Qa_YcX-w5OB3BTp85E2xU8atARkAo-De-RW5F5xTqdFxTyD3Fs79V9wM-ad7dE3GoPcqE6jirV8Jx_89T2UrfrgbOYDiB5AiB4_/s1600/IMG_0101.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Luna Lovequilts - Free form curves quilted cushions" border="0" data-original-height="1046" data-original-width="1600" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo1beYIYY2f7oQnDUwLBwRjOYPPozbJ8nNDGlVZOYD2Qa_YcX-w5OB3BTp85E2xU8atARkAo-De-RW5F5xTqdFxTyD3Fs79V9wM-ad7dE3GoPcqE6jirV8Jx_89T2UrfrgbOYDiB5AiB4_/s640/IMG_0101.JPG" title="Luna Lovequilts - Free form curves quilted cushions" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
I went for an uneven grid quilting design for the three cushions.<br />
<i>J'ai opté pour une grille irrégulière comme dessin de quilting pour les trois coussins.</i><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw3DcpZd77bSgVhFTLuVxQqJwSzdg4ZWQqD9oVEAVHhMVKUjfL-C9YayuNqqz5kYgfQqlsqemrrnU4AMYkoXwPMgbnE9-hjSQwEknucEoQZb1ihxbDjhc7JwrRIf61hvvG5IMqVkPukGGT/s1600/IMG_0111.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Luna Lovequilts - Free form curves quilted cushions" border="0" data-original-height="1430" data-original-width="1600" height="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw3DcpZd77bSgVhFTLuVxQqJwSzdg4ZWQqD9oVEAVHhMVKUjfL-C9YayuNqqz5kYgfQqlsqemrrnU4AMYkoXwPMgbnE9-hjSQwEknucEoQZb1ihxbDjhc7JwrRIf61hvvG5IMqVkPukGGT/s640/IMG_0111.JPG" title="Luna Lovequilts - Free form curves quilted cushions" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
I noticed that I used more coral, orange and peach tones this year than I usually do. Maybe because the Pantone colour of the year 2019 was <a href="https://www.pantone.com/color-intelligence/color-of-the-year/color-of-the-year-2019" target="_blank">Living Coral</a> ... Let's see if I get influenced by next year colours ! That will be <a href="https://www.pantone.com/color-intelligence/color-of-the-year/color-of-the-year-2020" target="_blank">Classic Blue</a> for Pantone and a kind of emerald green for the Kona Colour of the year.<br />
<br />
<i>J'ai remarqué que cette année j'ai utilisé plus de tons corail, orange et pêche que je ne le fais habituellement. Peut-être parce que la couleur Pantone de l'année 2019 était <a href="https://www.pantone.com/color-intelligence/color-of-the-year/color-of-the-year-2019" target="_blank">Living Coral</a> ... On verra si je me laisse influencer par les couleurs définies pour l'année prochaine ! Ce sera <a href="https://www.pantone.com/color-intelligence/color-of-the-year/color-of-the-year-2020" target="_blank">Classic Blue</a> chez Pantone et une sorte de vert émeraude pour la couleur Kona de l'année.</i><br />
