What software would I need for art design (painting) and for quilt design?
Q. I've been researching designs and patterns (esp architectural designs) and want to use these designs with modifications in my painting and also in quilt design. What is a good software for designing images for art??
Asked by Cissy - Tue May 8 02:21:00 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Hi: There is quilting software called QuiltPro. You might want to check it out - I think there are demos or trial software if you want to try it out. There's also a stained glass software that can make similar patterns - GlassEye. I think both of these softwares are pretty specific for materials and allow you to create designs, and then get a good estimate of the costs and materials you might use to complete a project. One package I'm thinking about getting sometime is called Vue 5 that will let you create 3d looking scenes, and Poser, for creating figures. I've seen these online at art supply stores like Jerry's Artarama and Art Supply Warehouse. Hope this helps and gives you some ideas.

What are good ways to hang tapestry or art on fabric: a 3 x 4 foot quilt; a 15x20 inch batik; an antique rug?
Q. These pieces have no hooks, loops, channels, rods, etc. The quilt and batik have simple cotton lining [sewn only around the outside edges]. The fringed rug has no backing at all. It is delicate, 80 to 100 years old. I want to make sure not to damage the items with pulls, misshape them or puncture them. Thanks so much for any suggestions, or for guidance to a website or reference book.

How to repair antique quilt?
Q. A beautiful, totally hand-pieced, hand-quilted work of art is in my home but doesn't get used due to frayed and worn binding. Does anyone know if it's safe to remove the old binding and replace it with new? It is in great condition, other than the tattered binding. Thanks in advance for any sincere answers. P.S. I am not a quilter but do love the design and handiwork that went into making this one! The main concern is repairing it to make it useable. Monetary value is secondary, though it would be interesting to know if its monetary value far exceeds its sentimental worth.

A. You might check with antique dealers before touching the quilt. If it is really old, it could be very valuable & doing anything to repair it could seriously reduce the value. If your quilt really is valuable, you'll need to find a professional conservator to help you do any appropriate repairs. Contact art galleries and museums to help you find such a conservator. There was a quilt on Antiques Road Show that was worth something like half a million dollars! The people just had it folded and lying over the back of a chair. Little did they know what they had. If you were to find out the quilt were really valuable, you might want to have it framed, donate it to a gallery, definitely treat it better, or sell it! Otherwise, take it to… [cont.]

What is a Collaborative "quilt" picture called?
Q. theres a type of art that my teacher showed me a few years ago. Artists would combine their artwork by using a computer to "sew" the pictures together. the effect would be that a picture would be shown, a portion would be zoomed in on, and another artists piece of artwork would be in the zoomed in portion. that image would then be zoomed in on and so forth. Anyways, I need to know what this kind of art is called for real and need to know where I can find it on the internet. Thanks :)

Art Project--Legal?
Q. have an old/vintage, out of print Children's poetry/nursery rhyme book that I would like to use in an art project for my nursery theme.

I don't want to destroy the book, because it took me three years to find another copy of it, and I do dearly love it, since it was used in my childhood as well as my Dad's. Any advice would help!

A. To make it legal you could use tracing paper, and trace the image. Since it's by your own hand that way, you bypass many copyright laws. Additional alteration by matting and coloring in further distances you from your source material, but if you ever have the piece you make in an exhibition, or publication, it wouldn't hurt to give credit to the original as a source of inspiration for your work.

How do I start hand stitching quilts?
Q. I visited the local art gallery last week and they had some lovely hand stitched (artistic) quilts. And I would love to learn! Does anyone have any tips, or any suggestions for good websites or books?
Asked by ballooner - Sun Oct 12 02:48:44 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. I would suggest starting with the traditional piecing methods. After you learn the "right" way to do it, you can experiment with what works for you. Jinny Beyer is a well known hand quilter and she has several books available. Her "Quiltmaking by Hand" is an excellent instruction book, and you can purchase a companion interactive CD so you can actually see her do what she's explaining in the book. Alex Anderson also has some books that might be helpful. One focuses on Hand Applique and another on the final hand quilting (stitching together the top, batting and backing). https://alexandersonquilt s.com/cart/category.php When you get into art quilts, really, anything goes.

Q. I visited the local art gallery last week and they had some lovely hand stitched (artistic) quilts. And I would love to learn! Does anyone have any tips, or any suggestions for good websites or books?

A. I would suggest starting with the traditional piecing methods. After you learn the "right" way to do it, you can experiment with what works for you. Jinny Beyer is a well known hand quilter and she has several books available. Her "Quiltmaking by Hand" is an excellent instruction book, and you can purchase a companion interactive CD so you can actually see her do what she's explaining in the book.

Need color ideas to go with a red couch?
Q. This is yet another red couch question! We have a red leather (dark cranberry red) couch, loveseat, chair and ottomon. We just love them! We have just bought a house and I am trying to decide on a wall color. I have read all the answers to similar questions, but I have a slight twist to mine... I make quilts and use them as art on the walls. Not old fashioned grandma type quilts, but bright, colorful, more modern quilts. I need to take this into consideration when picking a color. My quilts have pure bright colors such as red, yellow, turquoise, teal, gold, lime green, orange, purple, you get the picture. I am sick of apartment white walls! And also my hubby hates green, but I love it and I have the final say:) Right now I… [cont.]

A. I have your room pictured in my mind, and I think using a latte color would provide the best backdrop for your quilts. Because they are works of art, we want them to be enhanced and I think anything other than a neutral colored room would take away from them. You could also do an accent wall in red and latte (in between chocolate brown and tan) stripes and it would add that touch of modernity to the room. I just designed my new apartment and I would be happy to show you the pictures. Contact me via emal, tmdoxie@yahoo.com or comcast.net.

How can a Deaf person get a grant to start their own business?
Q. I used to be hearing, I was a certified sign language interpreter for 28 years, until last year when I went deaf. I can no longer interpret, obviously, and for my own financial stability, would like to start a small business utilizing my and my husband's crafts (we are both quite talented--myself with soft sculpture, sewing and quilting, he with welded art and woodworking.) I would like to know what is out there in the way of grants that would help me get started. Any suggestions?

A. There are a number of government grants available to the disabled -- but not for starting a business. It is hard to find grants to start a business -- whether male or female, whites or minority, abled bodies or disabled bodies. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture. Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website "The U.S.… [cont.]
