Hello,
Spring has arrived according to the calendar as well as the longer sun filled days. I saw more geese migrating north this week as well as these Snowdrops. The temperature around here is still doing crazy things, but the longer days really helps one’s mood.
I have only had one day at home this week.
I helped take down the Both Ends of the Rainbow show at the Schweinfurth on Monday. We worked hard and cleared and packed all three west galleries.
The yesterday I help Noel do more packing of her studio space. She generously gave me lots of beads. I will not need to shop for beads anywhere except my closet for a long time .
I also went to the zoom meetings for Sisterhood of the Scissors and Pixies this week. There was also a FAD meeting were I got so great feedback and suggestions on some of my work.
Progress Report: Judy’s Banquet This work is 40″w X 55″ t. I made it all from the silk dress of Judy’s mom. It was a pleasant to work with the silk and it did not slide around much when I zig zagged it 
down.
Lap 6-25 I got busy and this is a new top that is pin basted an ready to quilt. I took seven lap quilts to the nursing home this week as well.
Stencils- Robins and Black Capped Chickadees
The chickadees are done with oil sticks . The robins are stenciled with acrylic paint. I did another print day this week and there are now enough robins for a quilt.
Oxymorons Challenge- Plastic Silverware. The fabric is all stitched down now. I am ready to add highlights. I also drilled wholes in the plastic silverware I want to add on top.
Red Tide I am finally ready to start a new handwork tide piece. I will be using some of the red beads beads that Noel gave me in this one.
Pillows My friend Marilyn gave me the handwoven fabrics for these two pillows last fall. I finally finished them this week.
My life is full and I have many friends that make it more joyful and rich.
Keep Creating
Carol
