As I mentioned before, I´m a member of two
clubs. One of them is the local „Ladies Club“, which unites women of different
ages, who love sewing, quilting, embroidering, knitting, and simply any kind of
handwork.
The other one, the "Bohemia Patchwork klub", seated
in Prague, is a patchwork and quilting club consisting of the classical
patchwork section and the section of contemporary quilting (don´t ask me please
which one I do belong to, I´m somewhere in between…).
At the beginning of 2023, the Bohemia Patchwork
klub came up with a challenge for its members called „Baroque“. The quilt
collection made within this challenge is going to be exhibited in June in a
baroque area near Prague. After long thinking about the topic I finally decided
to join the challenge with a quilt called „Baroque Monstrance“, despite the
fact that I never sew big wall hangings.
It took longer than expected, but I finished it
in due time.
For the background and border I used linen, for the monstrance I used golden curtain fabric and synthetic organza. A silk scarf was sacrificed for making the decorations.
I quite like the result but I'm also really happy to get back to smaller projects. I just don't have enough patience for these big quilts:)
Happy stitching!
Michaela
