Mild Days

 

Blue skiesHello-

I like most of folks in the east am enjoying the wonderful weather we are having.     Blue sky is always a welcome sight and the mild temps do not hurt either.

I came across this quote this week.

There are no mistakes.  What happens during the process of making something is sacred  and organic.          Vicki Noble.

I like this idea and always used and thought a similar idea when I work.   I just see errors as a small challenge to my way forward.  It is reassuring to find reinforcements for ones ideas. Judy plus quilt

There was a FAB meeting this week.   Judy is creating her one of her wool tied quilts for her daughter.     Big and bright is her motto.   IMG_4818I am finished with Scrubs for my grand daughter.  They are cheerful as she asked.

FramedProgress Report:  Near Indian Creek   This piece is 16″ X 20″ and stretch on a blank canvas.  I m trying to think of different ways to present my work and this is one of them.    There is a lot I do not know about this process.

 

It is finally complete after many starts and stops getting it stretched.  I need to thank Andrea for explaining  how to cut away the excess fabric at the cornersIMG_4821 for a smooth fold over.    Then she also suggested that I put fabric on the back instead of paper and I really like that solution too.    I have IMG_4823_thumb.jpgall the materials and I am set for three more rock  based pieces in this little series.    I learned a lot doing work this way and look forward to next ones.

 

 

 

IMG_4817.jpg  William’s Quilt   I am working away on this project and I can see the end of this step.  I only  need to assemble three more rows and the top will be done.  Then it is on to the back of the project.

Autumn Collection   The back ground is all laid out and stitched down for this project.   Now I will begin to add the leaves.  I am so lucky to have my friends looking out for me.  In this case Patty gave me some great old scarves that are just the perfect color to use  as a part of the leaf clutter under this tree.

 

 

 

 

 

Double RockDouble Rock    This is not the official title  for this work.  Just a working one.  I am trying to make  two pieces that work together  so I am sewing both of them at the same time and I will cut them apart when I am done.  These will also be stretched pieces.    The only draw back is the  big size problem when I am doing the free motion work. But I think it will pay off in the end.

Label Block # 31    IMG_4813One more done in this process.   I  For me this  is very calming work at the end of the day.  Thanks too to the folks who have passed more labels on to me.

Keep Creating
