Charlotte and Michelle stand in front of a Halloween themed quilt wearing their festive costumes. Michelle on your right, wears a black and white gingham dress with matching pointy witch-style hat. She accented the black and white with poison green chiffon underskirt that peeks out under the dress and also as a floppy bow pinned off her left shoulder. Her socks are also black and white in a grid pattern with black flowers. In her right hand is the magic gingham wand created with a variety of ribbons and pompom sewn to a felt star and affixed to a glittery stick. To your left is Charlotte, wearing layers of black clothing and ankle boots. On her Face is a spooky plastic mask of an orange cat with scary big green eyes and tongue sticky out. Her face is hidden which makes it even more creepy!

Happy Halloween to our creative friends! We dressed up at work today because we get to go to work together every day! Michelle is a Gingham Witch hoping to make all your gingham dreams come true, and Charlotte is just a creepy cat 😹

The Josephine’s Vermie Community Quilt is pinned to the back of this fixture that has rolls Of gorgeous Versace fabrics on the other side. This Vermie is in colors of purples, teal, greenish aqua. Each 3.5” square is pinned to a sewn grid that is a sage color. On top of this shelf fixture is a big potted rubber tree plant. Just about 25 empty spots need to be pinned toward the bottom to complete the layout. We will carefully unpin in the exact placement order, and sew this together as a finished quilt.

The quilt at Josephine’s is almost filled up! It’s been so neat meeting people and talking about our process and ideas and ways we can connect with each other. We really appreciate everyone coming out to support us ❤️

Any friends from Bluesky come out to visit us? Thanks if you did! We had a really fun time with everyone, brainstorming ideas about what to do with all these shirt parts. A gal from Canada got a full random set to remake a shirt!

Photo of all the squares of fabric for the Vermie Community Quilt at Kat + Maouche. They are mostly blue colors but there is some purple as accent, too. Each fabric square is made from a thrifted shirt and screen printed with one of fifteen connecting shapes. Every shape will link with the next, no matter the direction or placement. The marks were first illustrated in pencil, then transformed into three-dimensional cardboard reliefs. We combined all fifteen on a single screen to create the sets. Note that each of the four locations has a different color palette!

Charlotte installs the piece “A Thread Through” which is made from reclaimed and unfinished quilt pieces of many colors and thrifted blue shirts, both overprinted with polkadots. She stands on a short foot stool, back to the room, hammer in hand. In the foreground is a vintage Moroccan rug, such as is sold at this shop.

A person holds a blue and white overprinted quilt that has been pinned to a 24” x 36” frame. The excess fabric is rolled to the viewers right side. The person holding the quilt is only visible by their hands on either side of the frame and a few inches of their legs in black pants. The person holding quilt stands a few inches from a white wall. The overprint design is a block we call “Tangled”, and it repeats on all 4 edges no matter how the block is turned. The blue and white quilt is antique, probably from around 1900’s and is mostly hand stitched, but machine stitched along the sashing/border, which seems to have been typical of the time

We’ve been experimenting with hand stitching, and we made a quilt frame using a thrifted painting frame and leftover pieces from a quilted Vermie grid. We’re excited to explore this technique and our new DIY tool!

We’d love to hear your thoughts!

View from standing position looking down, against the wall to create deep perspective. On the wall hangs a vintage yellow sheet with orange butterflies, which has been quilted with a 3.5” grid pattern in an orange thread. At the bottom of the quilt, placed near the floor on a piece of 12” x 4’ wood plank, are perfectly lined up printed Vermie squares, each 3.5” square. They are printed in various orange, rust, yellow and white colors, on thrifted shirt fabric in the same range of colors. The yoga studio has an orange logo, and its “hot yoga”, so we were inspired to make these colors reflect both those aspects. Right in the middle of these perfectly arranged squares of three rows tall and 12 rows long, is a white metal bowl with scalloped rim, holding long yellow pins. Each person is invited to pin one or more square into the grid, and once filled, the pinned squares will be sewn together and finished as a quilt by The Reprintery. The Vermie pattern is a continuous repeat, so all squares will repeat in printed pattern design, as the color shifts across the surface. We request each contributor to add their name to the list, so that this information of contributors will live together as part of the document of this community quilt. We really hope those of you in Portland can come! Thanks

Charlotte and Michelle sit on a yellow vintage fainting couch inside the furniture bank warehouse. On their lap is their colorful Quilt Placket, made from reprinted men’s button down shirts sourced at thrift shops, and behind them are rows of mattresses ready to help make someone a comfortable home. We donated our proceeds to this organization from selling abundant scrap packs of our printed fabrics.

In background on the design wall is a blurred out maquette of Sonne in a 5” block sampled in mustard and cream color. The edge of a woven straw trivet is also pinned to the wall as well as a board of fabric swatch combinations used to guide the quilt combination process.

Also a pile of squares with the Sonne pattern traced out, with scissors near by waiting to cut out. A board with pinned swatches of batik combinations is on the left, and on the right is a coffee cup.

Almost finished a new Sonne quilt this weekend, and was delighted at each stage of the process. Combining patterns makes the world a more beautiful place, don’t you agree?

Sonne quilt first started as a quick rubber stamp idea for a gift of printed napkins (on left). It’s been refined and made into an appliqué quilt now, too! Isn’t it fun to see where an idea take us?

Working out an idea with a partial batiks collection Charlotte designed years ago and now making a quilt from the strike off pieces she kept. She keeps or donates all the strikes of all the collections to keep them out of the garbage.

A large colorful quilt in a Jacob’s ladder pattern held up by Michelle. It’s so big that she is standing on a higher level of the back yard, draping the quilt over a 2’ wall that drops to a lower level in the yard. She has a big grin on her face, as the quilt was just finished!

Sonne quilt is made with a no-waste appliqué method, leaving no scraps behind. We’re developing even more ideas based on this concept, & we’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be teaching this concept this summer Stay tuned! #wellwellprojects

On the table is a working pad with a layout of 16 squares of printed shirt fabrics in dots and checks. Above it on table is a tray neatly stacked with 2.5” square fabrics ready to assemble into more block lay outs.

Making (64) 16-patches with 2.5” squares was challenging and fun! We ended up using a soft printed chambray for each diagonal center (the 4 running from corner to corner). When “Cubicle” quilt was all sewn together, the chambray was a subtle line running through the quilt.
