A - Z : C = Celtic, Celtique

En patchwork, le celtique est une technique qui consiste à appliquer un biais en suivant un dessin, parfois complexe, riche de symbolique et hérité des Celtes, pour former un motif isolé ou une frise.

In quilting, the Celtic is a technique about bias appliqué, following a pattern sometimes complex, rich in symbolism and inherited from the Celts, to form an isolated motive or a frieze.


Celtique

C'est assez facile de faire son biais soi-même, plutôt que de l'acheter tout prêt. On peut ainsi choisir la nuance de tissu, et plier la largeur désirée. De plus, je trouve que les biais du commerce sont trop rigides pour cet usage, puisque justement, l’intérêt d'utiliser le biais du tissu est qu'il soit très souple et qu'il puisse être cousu en boucles et courbes facilement sans plisser.

It's quite easy to make your own bias, instead of buying it already made. Then, you can choose your exact fabric, value, color, and fold it at the desired width. The bias has to be smooth, to be sewn easily into curves and loops.

Les éléments végétaux ont une place importante dans l'art celte, de même que les animaux réels ou mythiques. L'entrelacs est un motif décoratif très fréquent, composé de lignes courbes se recoupant entre elles, sous forme de tresse, entrelacs simple, angulaire ou curviligne.

The plant elements have an important place in the Celtic art, as well as the real or mythical animals. The interlacing is a very frequent ornamental motive, in the form of plait, simple, angular or curvilinear interlacing.

Hello Frédérique! How is it going? I like the explanation and the beautiful Celtic quilt at the top. I deleted the comment because for some reason it said something different than what I wrote :/ Anyway, let's try it again. Nobody seems to want to guess who the letter is over on my blog but you did so thank you. Merci bien.

Comme c'est joli!!! I'm a sucker for Celtic design. I've written three novels about Celtic peoples in the British Isles. They'll be out some day! I especially loved the tree...

These are all brilliant, and it's easy to see how much work has gone into them. My favourite one is the maze pattern

I do love the intricate designs of this. I saw bias tape made on one of those sewing shows, but I've never tried it myself.
