Day 13 Cultural Fusion Quilts Blog Tour

Today is the last day of the blog tour for my book. It has been fun, interesting and humbling experience to know the response to this book. I am not sure what was expecting but what I have seen and read so far around the blog world has been rewarding.
I am in the process of setting up the flickr page and a blog to share your quilts, Please make sure that you leave me a message and I will send you an invite to join the site.

Last stop is with Lindsay Conner, Designer and co author of the blog Lindsay Sews  and co author of the book Modern Bee. Lindsay has contributed to numerous magazines and publications. I am blown away by her accomplishments as a writer.

As I said earlier, it is the last stop of this fabulous tour so let's make it count. Go to Craft Buds for my interview with Lindsay Conner. It was great chance to talk about my design process and a quilter from Indian origin.

Day12 Cultural fusion Quilts Blog Tour

The Day12!
For my readers in Australia and other countries half way around the world, this day already begun a while ago. I am late!!!

I have been a huge fan of Janet Treen since the day I discovered her blog. Her quilts are absolutely amazing. She is a dear friend, an award winning designer and quilter and a great teacher on the blog. I have learned so many tricks by reading her blog.

One of the reasons for adding gentle curves to the cutting is to mimic applique patterns. The reverse applique coverlet I posted yesterday is a perfect example of tribal work done without templates and patterns can have variation in the final result. I think the technique in the book will free you up on so many things.

Be curious

Be bold

Be spontaneous

Be creative

Be intuitive.

When you choose design, patterns, fabrics and colors, try something new just for experimenting. Often times we are so stuck in our ways, we limit ourselves of possibilities. Cultural Fusion Quilts is filled with images of possibilities..I hope you explore more as you work on your own quilts and put your own twists and turns to the quilts.

Daffodil Dreams

This is my definition of balance in design, color, positive and negative space and composition. People ask me if my graphic design study comes in handy when I work with my fabrics and colors. I do have a lot to discuss about that but not today.

First you must have my book. Run over to Quiltsalott and read her post. Enter a comment to win a chance to win my book. If you are a U.S. resident, you will receive a hard copy and if you are an international visitor, you will receive an e-book.

If you missed any of the previous bloggers listed below, visit them too. There are accepting comments but more importantly, you will love their blogs.

Day11 Cultural Fusion Quilts Blog Tour

It has been a lot of fun sending you all off to my favorite bloggers and quilters. I hope you are enjoying the tour as well!

Jan Burgwinkle and I first 'met' through flickr, way before I started blogging. On her flickr page, she had posted some molas from her personal collection among some of her really beautiful quilts. Images below would explain why I was drawn to them in an instant. I found a personal connection with her work, her fabric and color choices. I sent her a message expressing how much I loved her pictures and admired her work. 

On the flickr account Jan also shared pictures from the Tokyo Quilt Festival from her many visits to Japan. It was such a treat, each year I looked forward to that. Her pictures were better than any magazine! She took the time to take not only hundreds of pictures of the quilts from the exhibition but also close ups. I love the fact that she spent time uploading all those photos for the greater good of the quilting community around the world. For people like me, who have never been to the show, it has been an on line gallery to visit and be inspired.

We have remained being blogging friends. We have discussed the Gee's bend quilters, meeting them in those early years of their exposure to the world, India and many other things. Talk about cultural fusion through friendship!

I am so honored that she is hosting the 11th day of the blog tour. If you are new to her blog Be*mused, stick around and read her blog, you are in for a feast! If you already are a fan, I have to say nothing more!

Except, leave a comment to win my book.

Day10 Cultural Fusion Quilts Blog Tour

How many of you would say you breath and live quilts? I do and so do the people at GenerationQ magazine!

While I was a the market, I had the chance to hang out with one of the editors of the magazine.. as perfect strangers, we talked for a very long time, I shared my story with her. At the end of our conversation, she said one thing that touched my heart. With tears in my eyes I hugged her and shared what Sunset quilt means to me. Mellisa Maher and I connected instantly in that first short visit.

This absolutely fantastic modern magazine is hosting the day 10 of the blog tour.
I have the copy of Nov/Dec issue in front of me. I must say I really like this magazine. It is filled with so much information- Quilts patterns and interviews with designers and artists and many other fun to read articles.


One of those articles is in the section Quiltoids on page 7 of this issue. 

Chat: Quilt-O-Scopes the secrets of stars are quiltified by Mandy Ruden and Anita Mcsorly  was fun to read.

I am a Leo, Quilt-O-Scope was right on the mark for me. I am going to share only one sentence from that paragraph.

Are you  ready for this?

''Your stash leans to the warm side, with plenty of orange, gold and scarlet.''

 Yes, it does!

Visit GenerationQ magazine today to read the review of the book. Leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of my book.

Listed below are also the blogs who are still accepting comments. Share your thoughts on what you have seen or read so far about my book. There are plenty of chances left.

Day 9 Cultural Fusion Quilts Blog Tour

I had given a lot of thought on each of the blogs and their authors to review my book. It is my pleasure to tell you all that Bonnie Hunter is hosting the tour for today. I am sure I am not the only one who thinks she is The Queen of scrap quilts, Am I?

Here is the reason why I had to ask her to host my tour. 

Couple of years back, I had the pleasure  of attending her lecture and presentation at our local guild Calico Cutters. Bonnie's quilts are as lively as she is in person. After the presentation I bought her book, Scraps & Shirttails II - Continuing the Art of Quilting Green. The tittle alone resonates with how I quilt most of the time. When I opened the book, I found quilts reminding me of India. I know you all are scratching your heads wondering about the connection between the traditional American quilts and India.

Here is the root connection.

I saw these patterns all over the country while growing up. Here is an image of centuries old temple in Rajasthan. Click on the picture to see the close up.

Walls and windows full of traditional quilt blocks! Can you imagine being in the middle of all this as a quilter? 

Click on the image and let me now how many quilt blocks you recognized.

They are hand carved with lot of variation within the pattern. When I see Bonnie Hunter's quilts, I think of patterns from India. When I see her scrappy quilts, I see them as tapestry of Indian landscapes. Bonnie teaches to use a pop of color to tie the entire quilt worth of blocks....What an amazing and effective concept!

It's like a man wearing an orange turban who stands out in crows of  hundreds of people on the street! 

I am honored that Bonnie agreed to host the tour. Go over to  http://quiltville.blogspot.com/ for your chance to win a copy of my book.

A reminder that lot of the previous hosts are still accepting comments on their blogs. Visit my friends if you haven't already and if you are here for the first time, you are in luck!

Day 8 Cultural Fusion Blog Tour

I  realize there are many giveaways going on at the moment, it is busy time of the year with holidays around the corner. It's extremely time consuming to go through the blog hop for my book, Cultural Fusion Quilts 
So if you are here and reading this post, please see me with my palms together saying, ''Thank you!''

Today's hop-stop is at Sherri Lynn Wood's blog, Daintytime.

While you are there, I hope you take time to visit her profile, portfolio and the projects she is currently involved with. She has been teaching process based workshops for several years. If you like freeing yourself and getting lost in the process of making improvisational quilts, you will become as big of her fan as I have been for past several years. That is if you already aren't!

I am sharing couple of pictures from the past. The story behind the quilt is in the book. I know you would want to read it. The time it was made is carved in my memories forever!

This quilt is my favorite for many reasons. Three of them are right here in this picture below.

My daughter is much taller than me now! I am looking forward to us all being together again soon.

So what did you think of my interview with Pat Sloan? I am curious to know. 

If you haven't already, hear it right here.

All I can say is I am truly blessed. Please visit Malka, and you will know the reason behind my emotions.

As I count down to my talk with Pat Sloan this afternoon, I had have many moments to reflect on my own journey. Few events in recent weeks have become so memorable - The colors, sounds and visuals of those moments will never leave me. I will share them with you all when the time is right.

DAY 6 Cultural Fusion Blog Tour

Happy Sunday Everyone!

This is our family room all covered with quilts from the book. Every now and then, during the process of writing and making the quilts, I would lay them in the room to see if they convey the message of my book. I had forgotten about this picture until yesterday. Barbara Brackman featured two books on her blog. I am honored to be called a friend.

You can read the post here:
http://barbarabrackman.blogspot.com/

Today's tour stop is at  The Studiolo.
I met award winning quilt designer and author Casey York at Houston market during the C&T schoolhouse presentation. Casey's book Modern Applique Illusion  teaches the elements of design like perspective and 3D.

You can also buy signed copy of my book directly from me. Link is on the sidebar. If you are an international reader, send me a message and I will figure out the postage.

Also, please check your local quilt shop if they have my book. If not, ask for it. I went to my local Barnes and Noble book store looking for the book, they instantly ordered the copies.

Thank you for participating and spreading the word. These days I sound like a marketing machine but believe me when I say this, I have been working on new quilts inspired by the concepts from my book. Can't wait to share it all!

Tomorrow I will be one of the guests on Pat Sloan's American Patchwork & Quilting show.

Day 5 Cultural Fusion Quilts Blog Tour

I am honored!

Although this is not the first time I have spoke of Barbara Brackman on my blog, it is my honor and pleasure to share her blog post today. She has been my mentor, my inspiration, and a friend from long distance, like she describes on her blog, 'penpals' for few years.

http://barbarabrackman.blogspot.com/

When I made first three or four quilts, I kept staring at them wondering if I had something to offer to the quilt-world. I decided to send her and Deb Rowden the pictures and ask, ''Do you think I should write a book?" And they both responded the very same day, "YES!" I truly believe that I would not have taken on such a huge step as to write a book if it wasn't for her and Deb Rowden's encouragement.

Deb Rowden, who is also the editor of this book has helped me through the entire process. At times by going beyond her editorial duties. Through this book, I have gained friendship of these two amazing women I have yet to meet in person.  
Barbara brackman has posted a never before seen picture of my quilts. I still remember the feeling when I took that shot. Go see it!

I also hope you visited Rachael at Blue Mountain Daisy yesterday. Isn't she inspiring? I admire her sense of colors, quilts, photography and creativity with her story telling.

Speaking of Inspirations, today's tour is hosted by Lori Dejarnett of Humble Quilts. Lori is an inspiration to me. I love the name of her blog and the beautiful quilts she makes. Her traditional quilts make me want to use my reproduction stash and her appliqued quilts always make me want to pick up an applique project. I am a huge fan.

I just read her post and thought I would share the pictures of my Toran quilt before it was finished.

 
I love the movement free-form blocks can create. In line with the name of Lori's blog, I had used the most humble fabrics for this quilt. Ones that I would have probably discarded if I was into making quilts only using fresh from the stash and color coding it all. The background fabrics are also those you would not normally use with brights. I was thrilled with the result. This was the result of experimenting with colors, using contrast and still not thinking too much. Those dull, army green and brown fabrics make all the bright strips literally jump out of the quilt!

The blocks are so easy and fast, you want to make more than one! I can't wait to make of the traditional quilts with my technique.

Check out Lori's blog for another look at my quilt, the root connection and how she found connection withe my inspiration. Oh and while you are there, leave a comment to win a copy of the book.

DAY 3 Cultural Fusion Quilts Blog Tour

I hope you enjoyed Nifty's post as much as I did. LeeAnn and I have known each other for many years. I was thrilled to have her quilt included in my book. As you all know, she has an amazing eye for colors, textures and patterns. I am thankful for having her as a friend.

Thank you, LeeAnn for contributing to my book.

Today I am going to send you to Victoria Gertenbach's blog, The Silly Boodilly. If I have one word to describe her it would be, Earthy! I love her quilts and her enthusiasm over hand stitching. She finds beauty and inspirations through textures of all things worn and weathered. Those of you who are new, I hope you visit her blog today and take some time to visit both her blogs.

For your inspiration today, I am simply posting a block I recently made.

And one from the quilt Peppermint Pinwheels Quilt from the book. 

Did you enter for the mini quilt raffle? Everyone who leaves a comment is eligible to win. Read this post if you missed it. I will choose a winner on Sunday.

DAY 2 Cultural Fusion Quilts Blog Tour

Happy Wednesday everyone! LeeAnn at Nifty Quilts is hosting the second day of the tour. She made the Hopscotch quilt using the same instructions for the cover quilt, Rail Fence! There are many ways Rail Fence blocks can be set. I will let you visit Nifty to read more about her process.  

I have included my views on fabrics selection in the book. It's all about textures and contrast. Depending on how low or high contrast you like, this quilt can be a good color and value study.

While making any quilt, I follow the system of  'choose as you go'. I almost never pick the fabrics for the entire quilt ahead of time. It allows me to have a quilt with personality. The whole selection depends on my mood and the time of the day and It all transfers into my quilt. I may end up not liking one or two blocks after making them but I always find a way to use them.
I have never made a quilt that makes me wonder what was I thinking, because it is all part of the process. The good, the bad and the ugly, all of it!

Here are some options I considered for setting before I settled on the final layout.

This had a loosely woven ikkat feeling to it.

In Rajasthan, India there is a place where the stairs are just like this. That could take care of your few days worth of workout for sure!

What about on point? Looks like a zigzag with mind of its own!

Aaah the Possibilities! I had to add that section in each chapter because it was so much fun to play with free-form blocks. The movement, the texture! Organic lines mixed with straight lines - that contrast alone keeps you entertained for a long time.

Please hop over the LeeAnn's blog for your chance to win a copy of my book today. Do you already have it? I am sure your quilting friend will thank you for receiving a gift.

If you just joined today, do not forget to enter to win mini quilt. Scroll down to yesterday's post. C&T blog is also giving away a copy of my book too. Many chances to win! Good Luck!
