\"trends\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve just returned home tonight from the Water is Life exhibit in Frascati Rome, but I am still reviewing the quilts and trends from the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham UK.<\/p>\n

Today I am giving you a collage of 4 different detail shots, showing dense stitching details:<\/p>\n

Clockwise from Top Left:
\nSusan Vogel – Prism Breaker on Beach
\nClaudia Pfeil – Magical Mermaid Castle
\nAnnelize Littlefair – New Beginnings
\nKay Bell – All Airs and Graces<\/p>\n

3 of the stitching trends that are spiking:<\/p>\n

Dense Quilt Stitching – unique quilting designs
\nTrapunto (stuffed\/raised areas)
\nContrasting Thread Color – a Zentangle technique<\/p>\n

Even though last week I wrote about the loose Big-Stitch Kantha stitching which was so prevalent in the Birmingham show… Yes! Machine stitching is a huge trend too!<\/p>\n

So the main conclusion is that big bold flashy stitching is a big trend now, whether hand or machine stitched. Instead of the thread fading into the matching fabric background, now stitching takes a main role, inviting one to look closer and SEE exactly what the quilter has done!<\/p>\n

If you’d like to hear more about International Quilt Trends, come to my power point lecture and luncheon<\/a> Oct 6 at the Dairy Barn in Athens Ohio.<\/p>\n
