Working time

February 2, 2017 admin

Hello,

I feel good about the confines of winter as I seem to get a lot done. I am still feeling the energy of my show too. I will take it down tomorrow however. I have four works in the Cabin Fever Quilt show at Bette Branch Library here in town though. These four little works pictured here are my 6” X 6” pieces for the Rochester Art center. I mailed them off on Tuesday. They are all part of the felted work I was doing last week. I still have big chunks of the felting to use in the project when I get the final additional parts.

FAB meant this week and everyone had work to show and talk about. This is Patti’s new weaving project. The can at the bottom is full of her woof threads. Judy put aside her red sweater for the summer and has not pulled it out again. She is getting to the arm wholes near the top now.

Nancy got busy and finished off six new placemats for her home. They are spring like I think.

We had another snow storm last night so I am doing more snow dyeing. This is a shot of the top of the bucket shortly after I put the dye on top of the snow that is setting on top of the prepared fabric. Now to await the melting/dyeing.

Progress Report: Fling This work is 50” X 34”. It is based on a collage and has Ethel’s Marbleized fabric( the orange) and my hand dyed yellow and the light green and blue stuff. The quilting is done in two styles. For the orange and the white fabrics I followed the edges of the color changes. For the purples I did a pebble style.

Circle Challenge VI This work is 14” X 19” . It has a lot of movement in it. The quilting is reflective of the circles and done in quilting thread. I liked adding the beading at the end and I will do that again in number VII.

Circle Challenge VII I finished the quilting last eve. It is trimmed and ready for beads and facings so I will finish it quickly this week .

Three Jacks I put this work under glass this week- and that makes for awful reflections. Then before I sealed the back with brown paper I checked it and noticed that I had some how gotten a nail on the outside between the matt and the glass. So I will need to take it all apart and do it again before it is complete.

Scrap Happy I continue to work through Ethel’s scrap box. I need to complete a scrap happy quilt for the Prevention Network so I have been putting in an hour a day putting the scarps together. They are cheerful I think.

Scarf I have always enjoyed looking at a project and trying to figure out how it was done. So this week when I saw a wonderful image on Pinterest I thought- I will try to do something similar. First I pulled out a lot of green roving. After adding some leaves I cut from gold ribbon, I placed them on some wash away and drizzle some yarn on top of the whole thing. After placing a second bit of wash away on top to create a sandwich I started stitching everything together. This will take me a while to complete, but I am looking forward to this little challenge.

New Work I am all done with the assembly of the background for this project. But when I added the Tezel on top I did not quite work as I though it would. Then I looked at it in gray scale on my camera and realized the Tezel heads are too small and too close in value to the background. The opposite of what I did with the Jack in a Pulpit project. So I took the heads off and created new ones that are bigger and have a bit of orange in their color to create a contrast with the background. They work a lot better. Now I will need to create a new background for the first heads. I am going to test myself by creating it in the same size as the first and see if I can make it work with just a value changes.

Sharron’s Challenge Sharron and I purchased the same kimono( the stuff in the center) last year and have a challenge to created something with it. I pulled some fabrics that I think work well with this fabric and will start a project soon.

Creative Assistants I finished off a new batch of these little fellows this week. I need to really get going on them as I do not have much of a tribe yet this year. I want to be able to give them away at QBL this summer and not leave anyone out so I need to get going.

Label Block # 105 I think that I only need to do fifteen more and I will be done with this step of this project.

Keep Creating

Holiday Season

December 22, 2016 admin

Hello-

I am in the holiday spirit and enjoying the fun. I like the lights, the trees, the great smells, the bright packages and the candles. Folks seem to be happier too. This tree is Judy’s and it is always lovely. Mother Nature is doing her part as well. All the trees were outlined in white this morning when I got up. I sure like that look too. We had a FAB meeting this week. It was good to see folks as we seem to only meet once a month now days. Nancy had been working away on her mother’s Blue Bird quilt and it looks great.She has appliqued down all the big sunflowers now. They look so happy.

Progress Report: Circle Challenge 1 This project is getting hand attention now. I have completed adding the big beads and I am now quilting big circles. This is slow progress.

Circle Challenge 2 Because I am impatient I laid out and did the top for the second one in this challenge. I have only stitched the shapes to the background. I have several ideas about how to embellish this one. There will be some color changes in the next one as I am out of some of the fabrics already.

Wool 1 I have not touched this work in a few weeks so I really came back to it with clear eyes this week. The colors need to flow together a bit more for me to be really happy with this one. There is lots of distortion at this point too. More free motion work will help that part.

Pinks This little work has not been touched in an even longer time than wool 1. It dose make me feel like spring or cotton candy. The spring thing is not a good sign as winter only started yesterday.

Name Game- Wendy and Mark I am in the early stages of this new project. These two sections are Wendy’s name on the top and the negative space on the bottom. The Mark sections are laid out the same. They are only pinned to the surface and not stitched down yet. After that is completed I will stack the four parts and slice them into units and mix the pieces and put them back together.

Aunt Shirley’s quilt This is a scrap happy quilt for my Aunt. It is a small twin as the first one I gave her was too big. I hope this dose the trick. It is a bit quieter than most scrap happy’s because she asked for lots of greens for her quilt. I need to add quilting and do the binding then it will be done. I gave away a scrap happy today because my daughter needed one for her one of her clients. Now I need to make a new one for the closet so I am prepared for the next request.

Label Block # 99 This block went fast as the labels were so very big. Only 21 more to complete.

I hope the joys of the season bless everyone’s, days.

Hugs

First Week in October

October 6, 2016 admin 1 Comment

Hello-

It is the first full week of October and I went to my group meetings on Tuesday. At QuEG’s, Angela started us out with a baby quilt top she has finished for her yet to be born grand daughter. She is excited about it. She also showed us some of her work from an on line class she took. I really like the idea of making your sketch life sized before beginning work. A simple idea that had never occurred to me. I have always done a thumb nail sketch- but I can see value in doing it life sized. She also had her books from her class at QBL to share. It looks like she learned a lot and had a good time.

Linda shared her workings with her new felter. This is a great start and I think she will do more on it and do several other projects.

Linda also created this wonderful forest quilt. It has so much depth.

Sue Ellen is busy getting ready for Christmas at the shop so she was trying out new ideas and this tree was one of them. There were only five of us at the meeting, but we still managed to fill the two hours with sharing and talk.

Then it was off to the Diva meeting. Lliesa started us out with a new map quilt. Unlike her one from last year that was based on a real location, this one is all imagined. I like how it is growing.

Ruth is doing a series of works based on Dinosaur tracks. I like the way she is working . The irregular shapes really look like chunks of rock to me.

Lorrie made this little quilt for the sale at the quilt show next week end. It is a happy little thing.

Donna is doing rust dyeing now and has achieved some great effects. I always go home for the meetings with a real high on things to think about and try Like the rust dyeing……. It is great to meet with folks of a like mind.

Progress Report: Water Run This work is 24” X 20” wide. I sure enjoyed working away on this work. When I stretched it I really got going on the next ones too. I like doing the free motion work as the fibers sometimes move as I work.

That movement makes it feel more organic to me.

Land Fall This work was designed on a vertical layout, but is has turned to become a landscape type of work. I try to pay attention when the work directs me and go with that flow. It has about four hours of work in it so far. Slow but enjoyable for me.

Felting I am still adding roving and fabric to the surface of this work. I found some wonderful organza in one of my boxes when I was looking for something else. I know it will blend well in this work. No stitching yet. It is starting to look a bit like a flame to me.

Ethel’s Nine Patch This is the back of Ethel’s Nine patch. Again I am using her fabric and I though I would add some solids in primary colors to it- but I like the effect so I have just built it this way. There are lots of scraps left in the box, so I know there will be more work like this in my furture.

Queen Anne’s Lace

I am working on the hand stitching on this work. There are only two more flower heads to do and that step will be complete. My fried Tanya gave me some Eamu feathers a few weeks ago and I think I may use them in this work. The gray feather pinned to the center area is one of the feathers.

Bird Land This work is on the bottom of the stack so it does not get much attention. I did finish all the cutting of the birds this week though. Now to stitch things down.

Label Block # 83

I keep working away on these blocks and they keep getting completed. No rush and no pressure really is a nice thing.

Keep Creating

Travel With Marty- To Lincoln Nebraska

September 15, 2016 admin 2 Comments

Hello-

I am home from a wonderful and stimulating trip from Spokane Washington to Lincoln Nebraska. We loaded a black rented jeep with 20 boxes of Marty’s books and our suit cases and we were off. First we went south along the mountains between Idaho and Montanta and enjoyed the landscape. Our fist goal was to see a falt in southern Idaho

where the land shifted fifteen feet in the 70s. The exposed slip is the white area in this photo. The drive to this location resulted in a flat tire. Thank goodness for the help of a Fireman from Texas who helped us put on the spare. But that meant taking the boxes of books out of the car so we could get to the spare and reloading them afterward. We drove to the next town and although it was Labor Day week end we found a tire dealership that was open. They agreed to patch the tire. So I unloaded the boxes again to get to the tire. After he patched it the tire bulged so we did not put it on the car. Loaded the books yet again and drove to Idaho Falls airport where the car rental company traded our Jeep for a bigger car. This picture is of Marty waiting outside the airport. The new one was white and had so much fancy stuff on it that we never figure them all out. There was so much space in this one that we did not even need to stack the boxes on top of one another. We could have slept flat on top of them if we had to- but that did not happen. Then on to Yellowstone. Lots of stops there with geysers and hot springs,museums and animals. We checked put the petrified tree and enjoyed the day until about two in the afternoon when it started to hail on us. We pulled off and waited for it to stop as the hail balls were the size of marbles. The storm lasted about half and hour and left the road covered with hail that made for slow slick driving. This picture

is a view out the windshield early on in the storm. We left the park and were told that the road we needed to use to get to our lodging was closed due to snow. So we stop and found another cabin to stay in. It stormed during the night but we got up to sunny skies and snow covered canyon walls on both sides of our resting place. We altered our plans again and opted to drive south and cross the Continental Divide at Dead Indian Pass as it was lower and less likely to be closed. It was a beautiful drive and we made lots of stops for pictures. We continued south in Wyoming .

Ate lunch along the Wind River and continued to enjoy the landscapes.

We went to Fossil Butte National Monument and enjoyed the wonderful museum there. Life sized alligator and turtles with the four foot shells were among the fossils as well as lots of leaves and ferns. We had crossed the Continental Divide seven times before we left the mountains. We drove across the southern portion of Wyoming and into Scott’s Bluff just at sun set. It is a good thing we got to see it that evening because when we got up in the morning there was so much fog one could hardly see across the four lane highway. It took the better part of two days to cross the Nebraska sand hills. We saw lots of wind mills, cattle and train cars loaded with coal.

We visited the Ashfall Fossil Beds. They were a wonder, with the remains of over one 50 rhinos, turtles, tortoises ,and Sand Hill Cranes. There were the skeletons of three types of houses- three toed and single hoofed ones. And species of saber toothed rabbit- something I had never heard of before. We left the fossils for Lincoln where we meant Rosalie.Friday was the last unloading of the boxes at the International Quilt Study Museum. A man came with a cart and did the job that time.

We enjoyed the museum. There was a great display of quilts from southern China. The silk made them very beautiful when they were mixed with gold couched embroidery thread. We took the tour of the Mountain Mist Collection too. We explored Lincoln on the week end and enjoyed the public art that is so much a part of the city. There are lots of beautiful brick houses too. We also went to the German Russian Immigrant museum on Sunday. It was great too.

On Monday we had a meeting with the director were she took Marty’s QBL quilt and showed us the storage and preservation parts of the museum. She spent a couple of hours talking with us and it was g good visit. We enjoyed out stay at the Rogers House Bed and Breakfast but we were all glad to be on our way home on Tues. morning.

Progress Report: Ethel’s Nine Patch I did do a bit of work before I left on Tues for the start of this trip. I had the strips put together from our weekend at Judy’s camp and I started cutting them into 5” squares and matching them with solids from my Ethel stash. The blocks are a nine patch and I may add sashing. That remains to be seen

Along the Shore I am doing the machine quilting on this one now.

Machine Painting I started working on the machine drawing on this butterfly yesterday. The printed butterfly is fused to organza with a paper backed fishable. Then it is hooped before I began the machine work. I would not trim the butterfly before I did the machine work next time. Even though it is fussed it is still fraying.

Label Blocks # 76,#77, #78, #79, #80 I took this project with me on the trip and found lots of little snippets of time to do hand work so I got five blocks done in two weeks.

Summer’s Ending

August 25, 2016 admin 1 Comment

Hello,

As the nights get shorter and a few bits of color are starting to appear in trees one is reminded that summer is fast coming to an end. I went off to Mill Sight Lake along with other FAB gals for a weekend of talk and quilt work. We did swim in the lake too, but due to a much needed rain on Sunday we did not get any boat work in. We talked and discussed all sorts of things including the projects we where working on. Patti made Pillow cases and Judy and Nancy worked on Disappearing Squares- a block with lots of possibilities. The food was great and we had a good time.

Progress Report: Deep Jellies This work is 37” long and 41.5 “ wide. I did stay true to my vow to do hand work on it every day for and hour and it got done this week. I sure enjoy the mixing of the orange and blue. The dyed blue green lace and the deep blue ribbons represent the parts of the jellyfish that capture the food and pull it into the center so digestion can begin. I still find the idea that these colorful fellows live in total darkness.

Tall Text This quilt is 49” long and 32.5” wide. started this project in Rosalie Dace’s class at QBL. I did reflective quilting in the negative spaces around the text in this work. It has been a good week to finish things up as I prepare for my travels. I like to come back with a clean studio as I am sure I will get lots of new ideas on this trip.

Far Off Forests I am now done with the free motion work on this piece. I need to get new stretcher bars to finish it as the machine work has so distorted it that it will not stretch to fit the ones I have.

Ethel’s Scrap Nine Patch I inherited this box full of leftovers from Ethel. I took it on the camping weekend. I had one idea about how to use these colorful pieces but the other gals have convinced me to make a nine patch quilt with them.

This is a shot of all of the parts I put together over the weekend that I am now ready to cut into 5” squares and mix with solids for this project. I know I would not have done it in this fashion without the influence of the other gals.

Label Block # 75 I only got one block done this week. I have several near completion though so I will keep my numbers correct.

I will be traveling with Marty for the next few weeks so the next post will be Sept 15.

Happy Trails to you as well.

Butterfly Days

June 16, 2016 admin 1 Comment

Hello,

These beautiful paper butterflies represent the happy feelings I feel for this time of year. Patti cut them with her press cutter on Wed when the FAB group meant. I have seen some live ones too, but I am not fast enough with my camera to capture any images. They seem to represent the slow easy time we seem to be in now. We had our last FAB meeting until Aug as we all agreed that travel and family will now fill our days for a while.

I have learned that when I am unsure of what I need/want to do next I tend to start a new project. The result of this is I have lots of new projects going on at the moment and only have a Scrap Happy quilt finished this week. That project too represents my feelings of unease, because scrap happy’s are also fill in projects. I have made 150 of these scrap quilts and they require no thinking on my part. But they do keep my hands busy and allow me to think through what is upsetting/ blocking me with other work.

Progress Report: Dappled Sunshine I finished the pebble quilting and the line quilting on this piece this morning. I am now ready to add the facings and finish this project. It will be done by next week.

Scarp Happy 150 I have no home in mind for this quilt, but I am sure it will go to a worthy cause.

new Scarp Happy When I put together the center blocks for the last scrap happy I also made extra blocks. Enough to make two more actually. This one got put into the row form this week.

Generational Whispers The grandmothers and great grandmothers got drawn on to organza this week. I know this was part of the stress I talked about as I do not feel very sure of myself when it come to do portatures. My machine drawings are human but not good likenesses of the folks they represent. I have decided to let that be that way as only a few people know the subjects any way. I will add a second layer of machine drawing when I attach them to the quilt surface.

Deep Jellies This work is also causing some stress for me. I love the colors and the textures of the jellyfish themselves. I am just unsure about the movement of the tentacles and how I want to quilt on this project. There are lots of little design decisions in this piece.

Weeds I am happily to the detail part of this project. I like doing the hand work that defines the weed heads. Three done and a dozen to go.

wool work This is the biggest machine felted work I have ever done and it too is very slow work. I finally got stretcher bars with out any canvas on them and that is what this work will be used on. I am not even done with the first layer, so there will be lots of color changes.

New top This in the newest piece that it based on a collage. It also has Ethel fabrics and some I have altered, so it fits my personal challenge. I think the the title will have something to do with angles or irregular cuts.

New Work My friend Tanya gave me the wonderful big orange print fabric I am using in this piece. It is in the real early stage.

Label Blocks #64 and #65 I did double duty on the blocks this week. It is so pleasant to set out doors after dinner and work in the evenings. I hope summer is bringing delight into your life too.

Ice Cycles

March 3, 2016 admin

Hello,

Long ice cycles are one of the sure signs of spring to me. The weather keeps shifting from cold to warm here and that means melt and thaw and melt again.

I had lots of meetings this week. Sat was a meeting of the Mixed Group. It is always very stimulation and enjoyable to see the work of other artists and get their feed back on one’s own work. Tuesday the first of March so both QuIG’s and the Divas meant. Liz found a weekly offer by Moda on Their web sight were they publish two new blocks ever week. She has a note book already and four blocks are completed.

Corinne shared her print work from our last play day at Angle’s.

At the DIva meeting Kristen shared her shop entry for the “Row by Row “ show at

quilters corner. Donna shared her Bernie Sanders doll.

Noel showed off her piece for the “ 15” show that the Divas will have this summer. It was inspiration to see what everyone is doing. I am so very lucky to have such wonderfully creative friends.

Progress Report: Trickle This is the forth stretched quilt that I felted first. For this one I did not add any thing to the back of my woven wool fabric before I felted it. This meant that it all stretch at the same rate and so it ended up much flatter. Now I need to get the corners of the work to be smooth and flat. It seems there is always something to learn.

Foggy Dawn I have taken the advice of my fellow quilters from Tuesday’s meetings on how to quilt this work and did it all in swirling patterns. It is now ready for the facings.

Briar Patch I am having fun doing free motion raw edge applique of the leaves on this work. I will also do free motion to add the black berries .

Silver Growth I started this work because of the gift of a beautiful top that my friend Regina gave me. The deep purple with the silver work on it at the bottom. Now I need to figure out how to ingrate this work.

New Work I have enjoyed laying out the balance of this work. Now I am ready to begin the sewing step. I will fill in the white areas with narrow strips of fabric as I always do.

Scrap Happy I am to the step in this quilt where I have put the blocks in rows. I need to stop now and make a back for this project before I can go forward. It will make a good quilt to pass on.

Label Block # 42 I just keep working away on these little pieces.

Snow Marks

February 10, 2016 admin

Hello,

As I look more carefully for marks I see them every where. These marks on the deck were the snow has fallen through caught me eye on my walk today. I like the dark light contrast of these marks too. I will be out of town for a few days starting tomorrow so that is why the post is early this week.

I continue to be part of lots of shows. This shot is of my work and that of Mimi at the Associated Artists of Central New York show that is hanging in the Manlius Library for Feb. I also have work at the Turquoise Street Gallery until Feb 15.

Progress Report: Blown Blossoms This little work went together quickly when I got going. I tried doing the free motion drawing on batting and thick upholstery fabric. It worked well, and I may try that technique again. The red fabric is some I created in Pat Pauly’s class last fall.

The brown and orange print I did a few summers ago in Independent studio at QBL. I developed the quilting pattern from the floral print fabric. That came from another friend.

Coastal Color III I am ready to stretch this piece now. This time I did the free motion work on top of the felted step with the addition of batting behind the whole thing. It worked great and did not warp much at all. Thank goodness I have lots of friends with lots of helpful ideas to help me solve the problems that I create for myself.

New Scrap Happy I finished the scarp happy piece from last week and started to assemble this new one. This is just the first six rows of the top and only half of that is shown in this photo. It will be my contribution to the local Public Television Tel Auc in the spring.

New Work This work is based on a collage that I did last week. It has already taken on a mind of its own as it is twice the size I intended it to be. I am having fun with it non the less.

Label Block # 39 I got more labels from a friend through the mail this week. It is fun to get goodies that I really want to use . She sent enough for a whole block of just her contribution.

Snow Bound

January 21, 2016 admin 2 Comments

Hello,

I was snow bound for three days this week as we got hit by lake effect snows. I felt like hibernating- but spent time in the studio instead. The snow measured 18” on my deck and the shoveling was tiring even though it was light snow. There was just so much of it and along with the wind, being out doors was cold work.

Before the snow I spent a

day with QuIGs gals doing screen printing at Angela’s house. We had fun and I got a new batch of fabric to work with.

I was also invited to be a part of the Valentine sale and show at the Turquoise Street Gallery. That sale and show will be Feb 12 and 13 from 11:00 until 8 both days. I created a few little images in fabric with bead trims for that show. It was fun and it got me in the spirit of doing Valentine stuff. Liz had a really cute pin she had created last year that was a Valentine Cookie in felt. I was thinking about them and so I tried to create my own.

Here they are in a tin all set to be sent in a few weeks to my gal pals.

Progress Report: Moon Fall I am to the quilting stage now and enjoying the free motion part of the process. I decided to use three colors of thread. A variegated red to rust, a blue and a burgundy to outline the shapes of the dyed areas. I am about two thirds done with that now.

Parts I am stitching down the camera parts by hand. I am also embellishing them with hand stitches to add interest. The process is slow and I only add about two pieces and evening, but I am enjoying it.

Coping I pulled out this top that I had started last summer and did a second look at it. Then I decided to do the quilting in a block like fashion. I am trying not to be too pridctable with that step and so I over lapped the starting squares and now I am building in more lines and little squares to the surface.

Coastal Colors II I continue to build on the top of the wool work here. I just enjoy adding more texture to the surface. The colors become so much richer I think.

Scrap Happy I had a whole box full of left over squares form all the scrap happy quilts I have been making, so I put them together in random rows and I am now sewing/quilting those rows together. It will be a colorful one when it is done.

New Work I pulled out these pieces of fabric and I will start a new work using some of them. I have not chosen a focus fabric from this collection yet, but when I do I will know what the next steps will be.

Label Block # 36

I got a letter from Judy this week full of labels and I am thrilled. It is always good to have help form one’s friends.

Looking

October 15, 2015 admin 1 Comment

Hello,

I was struck this morning by how much I depend on the low light of morning to help me see my work. When the light is soft before I turn on the studio lights, I can really see the grays of light med and dark in my working pieces without the distractions of color. Now I am not saying I always pay attention to this- but I do know that when I take note- look at the balance , note the movement of the eye – the work is stronger.

Progress Report: Earthly Fissures This photo is of a rock formation in the Adorancks that I took a few weeks ago when I was up to visit Cris at the Pink House Gallery. I have selected a small section of the photo to be my jumping off point for this new work. I am building up the layers for the look I want now. This process always takes longer then I expect. But I love the final process so much it is well work the time.

Scrap Happy I have now finished this work. I just keep playing at this process. This one is very cheerful even though there is gray and black in the quilt.

15 I am doing the hand quilting on this little project in preparation of work on Ethel’s quilt.

New Work I started a new piece this week based on a collage I did over the week end. I did six collages and then picked out this one to be my challenge/ starting place. I am really exploring with this new process. That is both fun and scary at the same time.

The quilt top does seem to take on a mind of its own and the enlarging of a small” sketch/collage( 3”X 5”) and going to a different color combo changes things. I am enjoying the challenge however and feel I am growing with the process.

Label Block 22 The beat goes on for this project. Enjoy the fall colors.
