Hello,

I saw these on my walk early this week.   It seems  a little early for them to me.   I do love the spark of color that they add.

This week was quiet for the most part.  I did have   Pixie meeting and it was good to talk with them as it always is.   The other event was  an opening at the Edgewood Gallery  for my friend Barbara.  She died before this event but I had talked about it with her before hand and she was excited about the chance to show her work there.

 

 

 Progress Report:  Barbara Blocks II  I finished this second project using more of the Barbara blocks that I made for the SAQA Challenge.  It is 31″ w X 55″ l.

 

 

Again I quilted it using the block pattern as my guide as to were to change the stitch work

 

 

Barbara Blocks III     I still had a lot of the smaller blocks leftover so I laid then out with the one   big leftover block to make this arrangement.  I will sew them together as time allows.

BV Blocks for SAQA 100 Day Challenge     This is the second project for me in the 100 day project.   All the blocks are assembled into a top now and pin basted for quilting.

 

 

 

 

Art Blocks for SAQA 100 Day Challenge  This is my third newly designed block for the challenge.  The design is based on the letters in the word ART  because Barbara and I taught  Art together in the Westhill School district for 18 years.

 

 

 

The tray is full of the first and largest cut block pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finding Fragments project   In looking through my stash of fabrics to work with for the  Finding Fragments class I cam across this pieces that I had sent to spoon flower and was not happy with.  So I took it along to  the play day at Angela’s .

   I added paint to it  and this is the result.

 Then I tore it into stipes and  now I am adding fabric bits and stitches to the pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coral Shores   I am now adding texture to the two pieces that are part of this project.  I alternate very day as to the one I am working on so they will work together when they are done.

6X6 Rochester call  It is that time of year when the Rochester  Art Center calls for 6″ X 6″ works of art to sell at their auction.    I started  a while ago so there is lots more variation in the style this year.

 

Ethel 4     I finished assembling this bed quilt this week and now I am adding the binding.  That takes me abut 4 hours so I will be at it a while.

 

 

Snow Dyeing   We got 8 inches of snow one day ( and that is all it lasted) last week and so I snow dyed again.  Here are the results.

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the changing season.
