Hello Friends,

Sandy did not hit this part of the country- but the cold sure did.  We went form fall to instant winter.  It snowed on Tue- not a lot just enough to make me glad I had pulled out the hats, mufflers, and mittens over the week end.   I worked away on a quilt to ship to the shore for the

relief program the quilt group organized.   I have been working away on this scarp happy quilt fora while and now I am very happy that I have been.  I only had to finish the binding and now it is ready to ship.  I always have one of these types of quilts in some form of assembly- it is my way of getting started some times. It is also  a way to use – by cutting up-my mistakes and they do not become just trash.  I machine assemble them and they are totally machine washable and dry able.   It is just about time to start putting together pieces again so I will do a tutorial on the process by early Dec.

Progress Report:  Lauren’s Wedding Quilt  I am finally done with Laurn’s quilt.  I like

the way it looks like a birds eye view of the mid west.  I also like the way the gold and brown centers sort of float up to the top of the work .   This quilt also made me realize I do not seem to be very confident in my use of green.  It was my mothers favorite color and I think I resisted it for that reason.   I will ship it off tomorrow.

   

 

 

  Composition in Purple  This quilt is one I have lots of mixed emotions about.  I like the

colors and I know that Laurn’s quilt did influence me into starting this one_ (especially the boarder fabric).  I also wanted to contrast the shinny silk with the matt finish of the cottons.   I am still playing with wiggeleing the seams.  It is fun but I do not have the control I really want with this process.   

New Exploration 3
This new top is really into the wiggle stuff that I got from Marty last mouth.  I pictured two others in this series last week.  I am really enjoying inserting the little units into the composition.  I have a lot more control of the curves and movement of seam lines with this process.  The other two in this series are nearing completion , but not done so I am holding them all to show together.  I am enjoying this process so much- that there may be even more.

I hope you are all snug and comfortable.

Keep Creating

Hugs
