Preparations

Hello,

This week has  been a quite one and most of my efforts have gone toward preparation for two weeks of Quilting By the Lake.  That begins on Sunday.  But I begin helping with the hanging of the quilt show on Friday.  I will be taking a dyeing class the first week so I have spent a lot of time pulling things together for that and soda soaking fabric.    I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.    There will be no blog post for the next two weeks do to my Generational Whispersclasses.  The next post will be Aug 4.

Progress Report: Generational Whispers

I put in a lot of time on this piece this week.  I started out by taking Gwen off  and re drawing her.  Then I put her on again.IMG_6026  There are still some stitching wholes, but I will remove them with water.

 

IMG_6027 The I went forward to add Wendy and Alexis.  I am going to rework Alexis a bit so I will not show her at this time.

Garden GateGarden Gate The quilting step is going along nicely now.  he paper patters help me keep the size correct with this one.IMG_6048  I can also add the design beyond the print on the fabric with the paper stencils.  They are  made of paper and  getting rather shabby now. It is a good thing I only need to make two more copies of them before I begin the fill in quilting.

 

 

Sweetheart Tree Sweetheart Tree     This is the saved work I started altering last week.    With the quilt work complete the piece got its blossoms.   The plan it to add beads in the green and blue to the centers.IMG_6033  That will add another texture and build a focal point in each flower.

Deep JelliesIMG_6035  The hand quilting is going slowly forward on this piece.   It has been too nice out doors in the evening to set inside and watch TV so I do not put much time in on it.

 

 

Going Deep Going Deep This felted work in building nicely.  It is the only one with a title too so that is why it is listed separately.    This is still a very early stage.

 

 

wool workWool Work     This piece is nearly complete.     I have not formulated a title for it however.     That will happen before I stretch it.

IMG_6046  Wool work III .  Again no title yet.  This one is at the adding fabric on top stage.  They are mostly just pined in place.  The two greens hanging off the bottom are possibilities.

Wool work IV  is stillIMG_6037 at step one without any fabric added at all.

Keep Creating
