Hello,
As the title suggests I have had a full week. I ran the Finger Lakes Fiber Artists meeting on Sat. We had a lot to talk about and share. I am sharing this work of Bev’s because I think she took a real chance here when she burned the edges of this work with a blow torch. The effect really works.
We had a lively and productive meeting.
There was also a Creative Strength Training on line meeting , a Pixie meeting and a meeting of the Sisterhood of the Scissors. I have spent a lot of time setting at the computer. In addition to that I spent a day at the Schweinfurth helping take down the Fiber Arts show on Tue and I went with Sharon up to 1.000 Islands in Clayton on Wed to pick up her art work from the show there. Its all been very stimulating, but it sure eats into my studio time.
Progress Report: Circling Circles This work is 69″ w X 64″ l. I have stitched lots of circles in this piece and feel it is stable at this point. It is most certainly a bed topper piece.
Spider’s Weds I am done with the hand work on this piece now. I think I want to frame it as it is so very fragile.
Contemplation I am all done with the quilting step on this work now. I started to square it for binding when I realized that I wanted all the works in this series the same size and I did not know how they would all trim down yet.
Consider I am almost done with the quilting on this work. I think I have about one more hour and it will be done.
Ponder I have taken a page form my class with Paula for the quilting on this piece. She called these bump quilted l stitch lines fence posts.
New Work I pulled these fabrics for the next lap quilt that I hope to start this week.
Three Witches I did this drawing to prepare for the stitching of the second witch. I have transferred the drawing to the surface and I have started the stitching. I just keep adding stitches to this. It is building slowly as hand work always does.
I am enjoying all the activity of summer and hope you are as well.
Keep Creating
Carol
