The Printed Fabric Bee Giveaway: Molas!


Hi there- It's Julie B. Booth letting you know that it's time, once again, for The Printed Fabric Bee Giveaway!


This month I was the Queen! My theme was Molas. I just love molas... a reverse applique technique developed by the Kuna Indians. I'm attracted to the symmetry, the contrast and bright colors and also the playfulness and mastery of the technique. I'm so excited to have the Bee members interpret this theme.


Now...for the giveaway...You can win a collection of 6" squares of these original fabric designs by leaving a comment here or by visiting my blog and leaving a comment under The Printed Fabric Bee Giveaway: Molas! post. I'll be choosing a winner on Wednesday, April 15th (just to cheer someone up on Tax Day!). You'll have up to midnight Eastern USA time on April 14th to leave your comment.


In the meantime, stop off at each of the Bee member's blogs to find out how they created their mola fabric designs. Good luck!!!

    Hey Lisa, I'm intrigued with your stencils. Did you mask off the bee when you did the background colors?

    I wonder if it is possible to train the mind's eye? I have such difficulty visualising pattern and colour I always go for "safe". Send me your "adventure"!!

    This collection is shaping up to be just stunning... love the pieces we have seen on the member blogs so far. Very focused printing techniques and great tips and ideas for each step taken in the process. This group of so very talented artists never fails to inspire.
    Especially intrigued by the focused stamping and stencil work by Lisa Chin today.

    I posted my comment to the wrong entry. I love the step by step as well as the result. The tip about outlining can apply to so many things.

    Molas! How do you choose the theme? Does the Queen Bee just put it out there? Thanks for the chance.

    Love the Mola theme, I have a few Molas I keep as very precious, knowing the work that went into them. Someday I may use them in an art quilt project. Would love to win the fabric samples. Amy V
