Hello,
The world shifted just a bit when we went back to standard time. I always have a time of adjustment doing that shift. I am not real happy to find the sun going down at 4:30. It is beautiful none the less.
On Saturday I went to the opening of the Quilts=Art= Quilts show at the Schweinfurth.
This show is a real winner! I was so overwhelmed by the work and the many people I new and talked with that, I did not even enter two of the galleries. Good thing I will be going back for the Fall Retreat and two trunk shows by friends. This work is by Michelle Browne and called The Landscape Becomes her. I like how she used and old quilt that almost gets lost in the work on top.
Roger Blum did this work called Greenfield. His use of transparence makes it look like a painting to me.
This work is by Valerie Goodwin, my old teacher. She is really exploring the use of the cut machine work a lot in her art.
Laurie Paquin, my friend from QBL entered this strong piece called Composition 4. It is also on the front of the Schewinfurth mailer this month.
I was fascinated by this work by Sheree Rasmussen called The Landscape Within. I found all the bits and pieces really drew me into the work.
But thinking on the title I can see how one could picture that world in this fashion.
There was also a Pixie meeting this week.
Progress Report: Lap #5 I got busy and finished this one this week. The stack of lap quilts is getting big, so I will make a run to a nursing home sometime soon.
Lap #6 This top is all pin based now and I have done a little quilting on it . I am getting to the bottom of the stuff I printed for the 100 days project from last year at this point.
Bleaching Coral I am making progress on this project as I have put in a little time every day. The roving with machine work is a little disappointing as it really sinks into the background. But things are bound to come out less then satisfactory when you are experimenting .
Scrap Happy I got busy on this project this week and all the rows are stitched to the backing. I even put two pieces of boarder on it.
Autumn Cuts I just keep stitching away on this one. Sometimes it only gets a little attention at the end of the news.
Tutti Frutti Collage I kept self promise to myself and did a collage this week. The catalog’s for Christmas fruits were on the desk and many parts of pages ended up in this work.
Printing I finally printed the foam stamps that I made in June. I am not sure if they are done or need a second stamping over the top. I need to live with them a bit longer to know the answer to that one.
Enjoy the seasonal changes and keep Creating.
Carol
