Hello,
This week has been a full one for me. I am of course packing for my two week at Quilting by the Lake. I will have lots of new stuff to share on Aug 1, the next time I post.
Summer walks continue to be full of new sights as well, such as these Indian pipes.
I did go off to the Opening of the Rock Garden Show on Friday. It is always a divers and interesting show. I knew four artists this time.
Terri had this wonderful bed sized work in that show. She has been working n it for years.
Barbara shared some of her quilts and her paintings too.
Cheri showed off her print works.
Denise had four of her powerful felted works on display. The show is in Homer at the Art Center and will be up until the end of Aug.
I attended the Lavender Festival in Red Creek with my grandson on Saturday and zoomed with the Pixies as well. I am blessed with a full life.
Progress Report: Cut It Out This work is 45.5″ X 28″. it proved to be a challenge as giving the view in x-ray vision meant I really had to watch what I was doing. My pile of miss cuts was a big one.
I zig -zagged the edges and appliqued down textured yarn at the same time.
Big and Small I decided to take the Big and Small challenge. This is my 12″ square that is the start of the Small . Some of the miscuts are used in this piece. Now to do some embellishment work with thread.
Ties I made more square for this project and I am all done creating them now. I plan to start assembling blocks later today.
Lap #12 I am working on the hand step of binding this work now. I want it done before I depart on Sunday.
Handwork I did a little handwork this week. I sure made a lot of blocks for the Joyous Embroidery class- still some left to complete.
New Cuts I have new ideas for a scissors themed project. So I though I would try a different approach this time and make a paper pattern that I could trace and move around on a background. Here is my new pattern in a heavy paper. I will let you know how this works in the future.
Enjoy summer and keep creating’.
