Hello,

I am suffering a sore throat at the moment.  I caught it from my husband and I am not real happy about that.   I really don’t fee too bad, but I sure do not want to pass it on to anyone I know so I have canceled a few things already.     Before I became ill I had a busy week.  Friday Liz, and I drove to Palmyra to help  Marcia sort and price items for the Perilla sale in June.    There are a lot of her beautiful coats that are for sale.  Liz and I both priced fabric  and we all talked the whole day.   It was a good time.   I will post more about the sale as it gets closer.

I made it to the Diva meeting  and it was very stimulating.   We are working on a  group project and that took most of the meeting time.   We are doing a group banner for Together Women Rise. Then we did do show and tell.  Cheri is doing some great printing.   I really like this approach.

 

 

 

 

 

Denise went off for two weeks to an artist in residence program and came home with three wonderful fiber works.   They all have so much texture and color.    They are felted wool plus so much more in the way of fabrics and stitching.

 

 

 

Mary is still  working through some of her purchased fabric prints that she  got in Africa.

I made it to the Zoom meetings this week too.  The QuEGs  meant on Tue, the Pixies meant on Wed and I did the Schweinfurth Art Talk with Nancy Crow yesterday.

 

 

Progress Report:  Together Women Rise-  Equal Voice.   This is the start of  my project for the group.  I have cut the figures and will keep building on this through the month.

 

 

 

Circulation   This is the second in the Split Complement Series.   As the photo shows I am to the quilting step of this one now.

 

 

 

 

Circus Grounds  I am also doing free motion quilting on this project.   This is the last of the SAQA 100 day challenge.  I found that without the requirement of   daily posting I do lots other projects instead of focusing on this one.

Blue Beach  I just keep adding buttons to this surface.   I am beginning to feel like I am near the end.

 

 

 

 

 

Take Off  I am working away on this project and drawing the more Terns in take off mode.   I am using inktense pencils to add the details.

 

Hand Work    This is the on going project that I only pick up when every thing else is “done”.   I did work on it although the Pixie meeting this week.

Creative Assistants     I finished another batch of these little guys.   Each completed one is closer the end of the process.

I hope no one else is under the weather and that  enjoying spring is your main goal.
