Hello,

The moon was full on Wed and it is what is called a Cold Moon to represent the cold dark long nights of December.   It sure was a crisp one here.    The joys of Christmas are still running around in my head and I hope you can say the same.   Now one is considering plans for what changes one will try for the new year.

 I didn’t have any meetings this week but I did put in time on my “Finding Fragments” class.   I still have two more sets of exercises to do but these drawings of the objects I connected on my walk are the best of the bunch from exercise one.

Progress Report: Lap # 21   I have to get these works delivered here soon.  The quilts  are filling up my car so I will get going on this task today. 

 

The best part of these projects is getting to really play with the smaller fabrics that I have created in the past.

 Tide Pool    I picked this work up form the framer yesterday.     It is now hanging in the hall.  

I got to sew so many of the beautiful bits and pieces that I always seem to collect.   It is great fun for me.

I do love how it looks and that has inspired me to work even more on Tide Pool II

Tide Pool II      This is a close up. With this one I am using the textural ideas that the teacher encouraged us to create.   The Pompoms  and the needle punch for example.     It sure is what I love as texture is my thing.

 

 

 

6X6  I realized that the Rochester Art Center will soon be calling for pieces for it’s  6X6 auction, so I started this little one to work on during the news this week.

Orange Peelings  This is the New Nine that I started last week.  I really went crazy with the addition of the pre- fused  fabrics and all the efforts to make the split blocks really got lost.  I am ok with that, but I think I will try again with a variation on that idea.  The other idea that I played with here is doing free motion zig-zag’   I decided to use it as the peel edge of the orange slices.

 

 

New Lap   I pulled  these fabrics for the first lap quilt for next year.   It’s always good to have something in the up coming idea pile.

Have a joyous New Year and I will post again the 2024

Keep Creating

Carol
