Tricia Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Quilt

I just love the Mary Poppins movie. I did find the theme difficult. The only image that kept coming back to me was when Mary Poppins opened her carpet bag. Mary removed so many amazing items that could not have possibly have fit into the carpet bag- the lamp and the house plant. I decided to try and create the carpet bag with the lamp coming out. It is one of my favorite scenes. I purchased a doll house lamp. I use fusible web, free motion stitching and a water color pencil to shade the table. I was disappointed with Mary but with my house move I did not have time to work on her any more.

I also want to say I am part of an Artisan Show this weekend and probably wont get to look at all of your posts until monday. Sorry about that.

Adorable - I really like the dimensionality. And I will be reflecting on the next theme - great choice.

This made me smile! A great visual to read your grandkids the story of MP. I guarantee they will be impressed. Be prepared for them to want to make a quilt after watching the movie. That would be a great grandma camp thing to do. Give them fabric scraps and glue. Hang them all together in your lovely home. ❤️

Oh, Tricia! I love this! I see that you are as much a fan of Mary Poppins as I am and as many are! Using the dollhouse lamp was a genius idea!

I too remember that scene and thought it was so cool! Love the use of the doll house lamp and how you gave the carpet bag dimension and texture. Makes me smile and want to see the film again!!

What a cute idea Tricia! I love that you used a doll house lamp - how clever was that! I, too, loved the carpet bag scenes where Mary brought out all sorts of things that couldn't possible fit in such a bag. Well done. Thank, too, for the new them. I will have to "reflect" on it!

THE MATERIAL MAVENS

We are a group of art quilters who come from various parts of the United States, from the East coast and then south to Arkansas and Texas. We were inspired by the original Twelve by Twelve international art quilting group.

Beginning in September, 2011, we started posting our 12"x 12" art quilts, which were based on themes chosen in turn by our members. For Round One, we posted quilts every two months, always on the 15th of the designated months.

Round Two of The Material Mavens began in October, 2014. Some changes were made: quilts were posted every three months, and the quilts could be be either 12"x 12" or rectangular ones measuring 11" x 14", either horizontal or vertical in orientation.

Round Three of The Material Mavens began in July, 2018. Again, changes have been made. Now those members who wish to stay affiliated with the group are free to post quilts every time or every now and then. Two, our blog administrator collected suggested themes from the members who wanted to remain affiliated. These themes were then pulled at random from a "hat," and they were then assigned in order for the posting dates. Since we had 13 members who wanted to remain, we will be posting quilts every 3 months until 2021! This date is significant and appropriate, because 2021 will be the 10th year that our group has been in existence.
