The Moon is full and I love to see how the moon light makes the branches have little sliver out lines. The shadows are wonderful too. I am so glad it was clear and warm last night so I could enjoy the evening. It is cold today however.
I did a little walking in the woods this week and enjoyed the sounds of the leaves under foot as the trees are mostly stripped now. It was a gray day when I made this excursion, but I still enjoyed the sounds and this tree bark bark.
This week there were QuEG’s and FAB meetings. The Diva group is doing a trunk show at the Schweinfurth on Sunday so they did not meet. The QuEG’s gals had lots to share. Sally did this fun little landscape to give to a friend who let her stay on the lake this summer. There is lots of machine work here as she always applies a lot of that.
Sue Ellen is busy thinking of Christmas too and creating little machine drawn mini images 6″ X 8″ in the seasonal vain.
Angela has been experimenting with her felter and she was trying with this copy to see how effective she could be with a pre-felted surface that she felted into. Looks good to me.
Jane is doing her amazing wool embroidery as usual. She had several pieces this time.
There were four of us from the QuEGs group who were in Kerr Groboski’s Deconstructed class last week, so there were lots of wonderful dyed works to share too! This shot of one of Linda’s fabrics shows how the print paste breaks down one the screen with each print. Seeing all our works together sure made me aware of how we all have our own unique color sense as well as style. I hope we do some more of this technique because I was so happy with the color that I achieved in this workshop. Now the real work begins when one uses the fabric as a start or works back into it…….. I think they will need to hang in my line of sight for a while before I know what to do.
Progress Report : New Work I still have not come up with a title for this work. I have started to stitch down the key pads however. It is a fun and very slow process. I will work on that this week.
Donna’s Second Wedding Dress Quilt This is the second commission for my friend Donna. I am to the free motion quilting step now after spending over two hours crawling around on the floor pin basting it on Monday. I wore my knee pads but the knees still hurt. I am following the strong lines in the print for the quilting design . This shot shows the top( green, gold white and red) with the back folded over so one can also see how the quilting pattern is coming along.
Keep Creating
