I took some fantastic photos yesterday on a sunny afternoon with gorgeous white snow in the background. For the record, the day showed mixed skies with a high of 9C and a low of -6C. Yes, this is how I am thinking about my days now. Also, it was windy and chinooking, so I washed sheets and dried them on the line. I had a great sleep last night under those gorgeous fresh linens. </p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ayfe4R5BhU4/X_d_2s-nehI/AAAAAAAASjY/VGt8iJZGYzonAyvY3Jdtv6AtpNN0PaEQACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Temp%2BQuilt%2BSept-Dec%2B2020.2%252Cjpg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ayfe4R5BhU4/X_d_2s-nehI/AAAAAAAASjY/VGt8iJZGYzonAyvY3Jdtv6AtpNN0PaEQACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Temp%2BQuilt%2BSept-Dec%2B2020.2%252Cjpg.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">The section of royal blue represents -10C to 0C. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qzEyFXlLxrk/X_eABVd15RI/AAAAAAAASjc/xmHNd86I0sAvSxNwEOCknmjwgwSE4evtwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Temp%2BQuilt%2BSept-Dec%2B2020.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qzEyFXlLxrk/X_eABVd15RI/AAAAAAAASjc/xmHNd86I0sAvSxNwEOCknmjwgwSE4evtwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Temp%2BQuilt%2BSept-Dec%2B2020.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"> <span></span> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"> <a href="https://www.studio39fabrics.com/" target="_blank">Fabrics provided by: </a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.studio39fabrics.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="67" data-original-width="350" height="27" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dNsytnyIbdI/X1-8W9gdtcI/AAAAAAAAQS8/Seogg0sONt4HKILIOYeqZmCAbvwaanqgACLcBGAsYHQ/w139-h27/studio%2B39%2Bgraphic.png" width="139" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><p></p><p>Notes on phone: </p><p>I set up a task on the notes section of my phone to keep track.

There are a lot of little pieces of fabric going on at once, especially if you are like me doing 10 blocks at a time, with every colour out on the table. Oh, stop the madness! <br /></p><p>I have a little old quilt rack that now has my temperature quilt fabrics on it. I have bagged my scraps and pattern in a clear ziploc and it hangs on this rack as well. Everything is easily accessible and much more manageable. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2akWPlDTwR0/X_eNiwA-ykI/AAAAAAAASkY/Ntzqpx3GjNUshUcgjJZdKfWdEj5eW9ZdQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Temp%2BQuilt%2Borganize%2B4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2akWPlDTwR0/X_eNiwA-ykI/AAAAAAAASkY/Ntzqpx3GjNUshUcgjJZdKfWdEj5eW9ZdQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Temp%2BQuilt%2Borganize%2B4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CQdlImCpiHc/X_eNhawaCpI/AAAAAAAASkU/c9C2OdArvTEhUTPj86x0O93N_gaQr295gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Temp%2BQuilt%2Borganize%2B2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CQdlImCpiHc/X_eNhawaCpI/AAAAAAAASkU/c9C2OdArvTEhUTPj86x0O93N_gaQr295gCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Temp%2BQuilt%2Borganize%2B2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p> </p><p>Cutting Sky Pieces to eliminate waste: </p><p>If you cut your WOF strips for the sky 3 1/2" wide (instead of 3" as stated in the pattern) you can get 2 sky pieces out of each 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" sky piece. After cutting your angle you can use the top and the bottom of this piece. This is an option if you have a fabric that is not directional. My mixed sky fabric does not work with this method, but I have found it very useful for the sunny and cloudy sky pieces. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Full Tutorial for the Temperature Quilt here: </i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: medium;"><b><a href="http://quiltersenjoycolor.blogspot.com/2020/10/melanies-temperature-quilt-step-by-step.html" target="_blank">Melanie's Temperature Quilt </a></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CJeYVA2nZXC/" target="_blank">#melaniestemperaturequilt</a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/melanie_rudy_art/" target="_blank">#quiltersenjoycolor</a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><i>This content is provided free to you with lovely sponsorship and

Everyday. Every conversation. A lot of what we do is affected by it. How we dress. Where we go. When we go. <br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">It is consistent that the weather changes. It's gentle and extreme. It's beautiful and harsh. It shows up in the colours of warm and cold. In the Alberta foothills we enjoy the Chinooks and the mark they make on the sky as they appear as a gorgeous arch. <br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">When I saw my first temperature quilt, I thought how interesting it would be to make one. I love the opposing colours of the climate in fabric and the way they appear in visual pattern. </p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">I am doing a simple improv method for this quilt that I share with you in this post. For each day it represents the high and low temperatures against the sky. I chose to add the sky component for added weather documentation. </p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">This content is provided free to you with lovely sponsorship and affiliate ads.

<br />
I love fall weather and it's a very inspiring time to start a Temperature Quilt here in Canada. The days are sociable. The nights are cool for sleeping. The skies show a picture of pretty clouds and the colours of blue. <br />
<br />
The warm, cold, colder, and coldest fluctuations during the course of a year in Canada are extreme. This is going to create a fantastic colour story on the quilt top. <br />
<br />
Weather in Calgary always involves a look at the Sky, so I am adding this element to my Temperature Quilt.<br />
<br />

Let's bring some <span style="color: magenta;"><i>pizzazz</i></span> to half-square-triangles! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am working on a fun Row by Row project by the Canadian Quilter's Association. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><i>Surprise!</i></span> In this week's post the HSTs arrived. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's bring some life to these HSTs with a fantastic medallion print. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Fussy cut your medallions. Mine are oversized for the required block, but trimmed to size will be <span style="color: magenta;"><i>gorgeous</i></span>. Cut another coordinating square for the other half of your triangle. Because of the trimming required for my blocks, I am not worrying about making the squares the same size. In this method we will make 2 HST blocks at once. </div>

Right-sides-together, sew a seam on the diagonal </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4" from either side of the centre line of your squares.</div>

<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">When I knit these rounds I was left with about 12" of my Colour A yarn. Eeeek! If you feel that you are running out, you can skip the single rows of the Colour Change section. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">NOTE: For the tension that I knit it takes 30" of yarn to make 25 stitches for this pattern. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Continue knitting in Colour B until your work measures 6" from the Bead Edge. </span><br />

During the summer I had the opportunity <i>twice</i> to do Indigo Dye. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My awesome mom got me started, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then I had a fantastic second day with a good friend in Calgary. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is hand-dyed fabric from those creative days! </div>

My husband and I had a wonderful mini-vacation in Field, BC last week. This dishcloth came about as a happy accident when I was practicing some new pattern swatches for a shawl and knit an extra row instead of purling! Please enjoy and feel free to share.<br />

This little beauty is called "Cheatin' Drunk" because you are getting all of the effect and more of a Drunkard's Path block <i>WITHOUT SEWING ANY CURVES</i>. Woohoo people!<br />
<br />
With the popularity of the Drunkard's Path quilt and curved piecing, here's a super tutorial for all of you who love that look, but prefer not to sew curves.<br />
<br />
Start with an amazing medallion print to achieve this spectacular result. <br />

Pick out a fantastic medallian print and <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=790590&u=1345375&m=60894&urllink=&afftrack=" target="_blank">some coordinating fabrics</a>. </div>

The <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=790590&u=1345375&m=60894&urllink=&afftrack=" target="_blank">fabric</a> I chose had a matching border print that worked perfectly for my quilt. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut out the medallions into even squares. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this stage you will have a full circle print (sorry, I forgot to get a photo)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do your best to centre the medallion as prints like these are often a bit wonky. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut the medallions into even quadrants. </div>

Yesterday I taught a fantastic class for the Alberta Quilt Study Society<br />
on <i><b><a href="http://quiltersenjoycolor.blogspot.com/2018/07/knit-felted-purse-pattern.html" target="_blank">Knitting a Felted Purse</a></b></i>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Please see the <i><b><a href="http://quiltersenjoycolor.blogspot.com/2018/07/knit-felted-purse-pattern.html" target="_blank">LINK HERE</a></b></i> for the purse pattern.</span><br />
<br />
In the felting process I used 2 wash cycles on my front load machine.<br />
Today I experimented with the hot water temperature and was very pleased with the results.<br />
<br />
The 1st wash was done with the regular hot water setting on a normal cycle. It did
an ok job for the 1st round. The 2nd wash was done with the hottest
water setting, which in my machine heats the water to almost boiling.
It really did a fantastic job on the felt and I will use this setting
from now on. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the photos below you will find more information about the felting process. <br />

One objective of this group is to document quilts for genealogy and providence purposes. I am finding the quilt history to be an extremely interesting and valuable learning experience. The fabric designs, batting, threads, and construction methods all lead to such exciting quilt stories. <br />

It's such an exciting adventure and I will be sharing daily posts with you on <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/melanie_rudy_art/" target="_blank"><i>INSTAGRAM</i></a></b> beginning on April 5, 2018. I love seeing your comments! <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melanie_rudy_art/" target="_blank"><br /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<i>THE PLAN</i> - work on art techniques on watercolour paper involving collage and acrylic methods. There are some fantastic products that are going to be so fun to focus on for the next 2 months. These are going to be excellent lessons for painters and quilters alike, working with texture and colour methods. This work is going to be simply fun and a bit messy! I will be sharing processes with you on <i><b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/melanie_rudy_art/" target="_blank">INSTAGRAM</a></b>.</i><br />
<br />
Here is a detailed peek at some of my latest <i>PAPERWORKS</i>...<br />
