Half Moon | Cre-8

Hello,

This evening we will see the flower half moon in our skies. Change is such a constant that one can forget to notice. I did notice the cottonwood seeds piling up along the road today on our walk. “Summer Snow” was what Nick called it in his childhood. I even caught one of the little white things as it drifted to earth this morning. I guess I am paying more attention that I thought.

The week has been a full one with a trip along with Liz to Marcia’s for another play day. Joyce had her newest doll called “Holding It Together.” We all sort of feel that way now days.

She and I also started Bog Coats at that time. I am struggling along on it now.

My good friend Joyce Holman had an opening on Saturday at the Art Rage Gallery. I really love her work. So much action and great color.

I did the homework for my Naturally Inspired class as well. We are [painting backgrounds at this point.

I did the SAQA on line lecture on Wed and attended the Pixie meeting too.

Progress Report: Ethel 5 This is the last piece that is made with blocks that Ethel started. I did have to make some to finish this, but I used her fabrics to do so. I feel a bit sad to close this door, but it’s time I guess. Her fabrics are all integrated into my own stash at this point, but I still look of batiks and think of her.

Lap #8 I am working on getting this piece fully quilted at this point. I am sure it will be done soon. It is made up of blocks leftover from the 100 day BV project.

Lap #9 I am to the binding step on this project.

Lap #10 Off on another bit of play with this new lap work.

New Work I am still building little nine patch works as a background. Progress here even though my original goal has been cancelled.

Purple Washup I was not happy with the melting of the Tyvek on Wash Up, so I used ink to color the surface this week and started a new piece with it. The ink allowed for lots more distortion of the surface.
