3 Witches | Cre-8

Hello,

March in its typical approach can not seem to decide if it is ready for spring or if winter should still dominate. I saw these Snow Drops on my walk yesterday and I did hear a Robin’s song this morning. But there is also snow in the air and in the forecast for this evening and tomorrow. Mother Nature is a bit fickle.

Progress Report: Indian Pipe This work is 16” t X 20” w. The background is felted and it is based on a photo of a rock cut along a road in Washington state. I selected the Indian Pipes as my subject from one of my mother’s slides. The steams are made from organza that is wrapped around a pipe cleaner and the heads are satin ribbon.

Winter Apples This work is 27.5” t X 29.5” l. It is based on a photo I took of a crabapple tree at Thanksgiving when we visited the Turning Stone Cession for our family dinner. The crystalline snow is made up of silk with a lacy ribbon on top.

Radiating Joy I am to the quilting step with my work on this piece. I did reflective quilting in the rainbow letters and I am doing strait line quilting in the dark areas.

Frozen I continue to move very slowly on this piece. I am just about ready to cut the wholes in the ice where the rocks stick through.

Glyph IV I am happy with the progress on this piece as the top of the O is now complete and I am working down the right side.

Spring Forest I am done with the quilting on this pieces as well and have moved onto the beading of the trees. I had help selecting the beads that I am using.

Afghan This work is now done. I like the colors and it is worm.

Daily PracticeThe daily hand work is moving along. All of the parts are at least tacked down with stitches now. I look forward to playing with decorative stitches on the rest of the surface.
