Summer Worming

Hello,

Sorry this is a bit late, but my week has been full of events- not all quilt related.   Yesterday, the Sisterhood of the Scissors meant at the Rochester Memorial Museum to view their annual show .   This metal fish  from   that show. really caught my eye.

 

I also loved this wonderful pen and ink drawing.

 

 

 

 

This painted piece was  one of the ones of my favorites.   So much color and so beautifully done.

 

 

 

 

 

In the section of the museum of” works out of storage”- I came across this work.       It is made from spools.   The artist provided viewers that made the images right side up too.

 

 

 

Ann showed off her newest vest at our meeting.

 

 

 

 

 

Earlier in the week I went to the Finger Lakes Fiber Artist meeting.    There were eleven  gals present.     This work is by Linda and is 12″ X 12″.

 

 

 

 

 

Deb is working on flowers .

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joyce is still playing with her new love – branch weaving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joan is working big and pushing herself in new directions.

 

 

 

Jean M did some rework of her project from the last meeting.  This final result is great!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jean G reworked  her tree piece too.    The rotting tree trunk is much more distinguishable  now.

It was a good meeting and we all seemed to have a good time.

 

 

 

 

I learned that my daughter is using her  scrap happy quilt as part of her camping gear.    What a nice complement.

 

 

  Progress Report: Experimental Challenge # 2 This is my solution to the challenge that we are doing at Marcia’s.   It is 12″ X 12′”.   Two more works to do in this challenge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lap 16-25    This work is pin based and all ready for quilting.    I enjoyed using more fabrics from Pat’s class on this one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lap 17- 25   I have only laid out the big block centers for this next lap quilt.

 

 

 

Shore Line   I just keep working away on this project.   It is building up nicely.

 

 

 

 

Blue Blossoms    This is a close up of one of the dragonflies  on this work.     I am mixing felt work with embroidery here and like the effects. I am pleased with how it is coming along too.

The other thing that has take up my time is my, is my planning and packing for my two week at Quilting by the Lake.     I have Independent Studio  week one.  That requires a lot of time and thinking on my part as to jut what I want to do and I am not quite certain.   Secondly the class I wanted to take is not going as the teacher is ill.  There for I got to choose an alternative and I selected Express Your True Self with Sheila Frampton-Cooper.   That meant that I had to put aside all the things I had collected for my chosen class and pull out a new batch of materials.   I am sure I will enjoy this one even thought it is not what I was anticipating.    I will report on all of it after it is over in Aug.

Keep Creating

Holiday week

Hello,

I hope all enjoyed the 4th in their own way.  We went to dinner and fireworks with friend’s.     It was a cool and beautiful evening.

Not a lot going on this week but work in the studio.

Progress Report: Lap 15-25   I am all but done with this project.  I only need to finish the binding on the side and bottom.  This is a successful use of some of the fabric from Pat’s dye class from last month.    I am glad I can use it in this fashion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Robin Pillow   I finished this project this week.  Not really sure were I will put it as the couch does not need any new ones, but I am sure it will find a home.

 

Scarp Happy 2-25   I made this quilt for my own bed and I am sure I will enjoy it this winter.   The old one is getting a bit thin.

Lap 16-25   This project was made with fabric that I purchased on the Canada Trip.   It was fun to use mostly material that someone else selected for a change.   I will mix the remainder with my own selections next time.

 

 

 

Lap 17-25   I pulled these fabrics for the next lap quilt. Again I am trying to mix my prints with commercial  stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shore Line   I can’t seem to help myself when it comes to these high textural pieces.   This one has plastic fruit bags and silk paper on it too.   Only a few buttons and such so far.

 

Blue Blossoms   While I had a the felter out,  I made some flower forms too.   I am ready for some handwork on this one I think.

 

 

Experiment    At the family picknick we had lots of soda and that  lead to several of those plastic carrying units.  I just could not seem to toss them aside, so I did a little play them as the starting  unit. I crouched with two strands of yarn in a free motion form around  them.   They are interesting- but not sure what to do next…    Got to live with them for a while I guess.

Enjoy summer  and  Keep playing

Summer Time

Hello,

The time rushes forward and things grow and change.  We had a good rain over night and the birds took advantage of the waters yesterday.   The joy and splashing went on for about 10 min.   This week was a busy one for me.  I enjoyed  the two days I spent a Mill Site Lake.   Nancy and I took out the canoe a  prattled all around the lake.   We dogged some fishermen too.     On Saturday  I took down my solo show and learned I had sold a third work.   I had two luncheon dates with different  Quilt buddies.  Always good to talk and support one another in any way we can.

Progress Report: Alpha Lepes  Galaxy     This piece got a lot of work this week.  I added many more beads to represent the stars.  It also got stretched.

Lap 14-25     I enjoyed working on this new lap quilt this week.   I recall years ago being in a class were  the teacher asked us to list our least favorite color.  I said this green was mine.  I have grown to enjoy using it very much.  She sure was correct in her evaluation.

 

 

 

 

New Lap  Laura selected purple as the color to look out for this week.  I got so far as to pull out a bunch for my next lap quilt.   I am also using one more of the fabrics from my dye class with Pat Pauly.

 

 

 

 Closer Look Inspirations   This work is based on a close up of a Suzea Phone that I saw in  the Ringling Museum in Florida after the SAQA Conference.     Looking close was one of the challenges from one of the speakers.   The fabrics are mostly form the Canada trip.  Its a good stretch for me.

 

 

Necklace  Squares   I am still making squares for this project. There are over 100 now and the bag is still full or more to stitch.

 

 

 

 

 

Blue Poppies  I am now ready to felt these blue wool units to turn them into poppy seed pods for my next felted work.

 

 

Experimental Landscapes  #2 Field of Gold   I put a lot of new work into this challenge this week.  The birch trees got added.  I free motion stitched down lots of leaf shapes on top and next to the green.       Adding flowers with be the next.

 

Sisters  I layered this pieces and added  hair to the faces this week.   I got the purple shirt at the Mission Possible store in Redwood while I was up a the lake.

 

 

 

Scarp Happy 2-25   All the rows are assembled and the boarders are on now.  I need to do the hand step of the binding and add the diagonal quilting and this project will be complete.

 

 

 

 

 

New Work     I feel ready to start a new texture work with beads and such.   I reworked this old rock piece and made it into a rectangle for my base.

I hope all  enjoy the 4th of July.

Canada Trip

Hello,

  I am posting today because I will be off to Mill Sight Lake tomorrow.

The trip to Quilt Canada was wonderful.  There were so many inspirating works I hardly know where to start .  I am glad we had two days to absorb all the pieces.

 

 

This three part work won best of show.    It sure is a subject that is close to my heart.

There was lots of work with wool this time.   I really liked this sampler with the use of rick rack  as the edging of the circles  was also a nice touch.

 

 

One could also see the Modern Quilters influence.   There were several pieces like this in the show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This work was so quiet among all  the bright colors that many just walked past it.

 

 

 

I was impressed by this work because it is all machine drawn.   I can’t imagine how many hours it represents.

 

 

There was also a limited fabric challenge  show .    A pink print, cream print and a black print were the required pieces one had to use.   This one is specular.

 

 

 

 

I found this work to be inspiring as well.   So many layers of depth here.   I am sure lots of careful planning went into it.

 

 

 

 

 

There was also a SAQA show and I found it very inspiring as well.    This work used paper as a base with organza as color on top.   It is a quilt as it is three layers.

 

 

 

 

 

The SAQA exabit had a 3-D part too.   Wool and corduroy were used in the stump part .

 

 

 

 

This work was called Save Our Wetlands .   The turtles were stamped blocks and  the quilting was the words of the title.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   I did go to  Sue Sherman’s Lecture Activist Art: Let Fiber Art Do the Talking.       She had beautiful work and the strong  point that I took away from  it was try to do it with humor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Liz  came prepared for rain, but we did not need it.    I am very glad I went and I am inspired with new ideas to explore.

 

 

 

Monday was our day to meeting at Marcia’s.  We did share our first solutions to the Experimental Challenge, but I did not take any photos of that.    Liz worked on her little houses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nancy shred a pieces that she   purchased and did some repair work on .  Its a real beauty.

 

 

 

 

 

Jean has been dyeing with grapes and had some glorious fabric to show for that effort.

 

 

 

Progress Report: Distracted 

This quilt is 24″ X 42″ .   I enjoyed working on Spot on so much I just kept playing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pat’s Posies- Lap 13-25   This lap quilt came out of my first attempt at using the fabric I made in Pat’s dyeing class.  It is difficult to use with print fabric as it is so strong.     I mixed it with some old fabric from my fist class with Pat about 15 years ago and solids.

 

 

 

Lap 14-25      This one is all pin based and ready for quilting now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Re Work     I was working with textures here and mixed painted and melted Tyvek,  roving and beading for this piece.

 

 

 

Scrap Happy 2-25   I started to put the rows together on this  work this week.   I like the two center blocks, but they may get a little lost with all the prints.

 

 

 

 

New work     At the SAQA conference, one of the lectures encouraged us to look closely at the world and use that as a starting place.  I took a photo of a Sousaphone  at the Ringling Museum, and  I used that as my jumping off place for this one.  The fabrics are mostly form ones I purchased at the Canada Show.   Lots of work to do here.

 

Experimental  Challenge #2   After the meeting at Marcia’s I felt inspired to move on the next piece of the challenge.  So I picked up the second base I had made and felted roving mixed with Angelina on top.

 

 

Necklace Squares   I wanted some handwork for the seven  hour bus trip so I cut squares of various sizes from 2.5″ to 5″ and folded them as was suggested in the article  in  Quilting Arts .   I have lots of squares to fold and stitch, but I’m started.

 

 

 

Alpha Lapis Galaxy   Having the Feltre out, I thought I might try adding organza to the surface of this work.  I am happy with this, but I can see that practice will give me better control next time.

It’s been a busy two weeks and I enjoyed it.

Solo Show

Hello,

I am delighted about how well the opening went of the Solo show on Sunday.    I hung 20 pieces on Sat with the help of several folks of Assonated Artists.   I have decided to definitely have  everything of this nature stretched or framed in the future.

 

I had lots of friends show up for the event and that added to my good feelings.   Here is a shot my Daughter took of some of us.

 

I am happy too as I sold two works.   I don’t have photos of either one of them, but I do know one sale was of my little gall icy.  So I have started a new one.    This work Blue Bottom is my daughter’s favorite.

 

 

 

 

 

I decided to make this one my entry for the Member’s show at the Schweinfurth that opens in August.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This work was popular with my old teaching friend Carol.   I sure had a good time and I am still fling a bit high from all of it.

 

 

Progress Report:  Spot On     I did lots of work in the studio this week.  I am currently adding pearls and beads to this work and will finish it soon.

 

 

 

Lap 12- 25    This is my first attempt at using work form my class with Pat Pauly.  The big graphics that she encourages are a bit difficult to use with commercial fabrics.   So far I have  only tried solids.

 

 

 

Distracted   I seem to be into pink at the moment and enjoying it.  This work is not very satisfying for me.   I will need some in put to move forward.

 

 

 

 

 

New Nebula  The sale on Sunday got me to pull out the
Felter and lay out a new base for the nest one.

 

 

 

 

Handwork  I got into the wool and felted on this napkin this week too.  I had already fused down the print fabric on the work.   Now I am inspired to start some bead and stitches to it.

 

Rework   The felt work was so much fun and the “what if factor” kicked in,  so I felted on top of some Tyvek on this old work.   I am happy with how it is going and now have yet another hand project to work on.

 

 

 

 

Scarp Happy Blocks  Sense I  have finished three backs for Scarp happy quilts I pulled out two Amaroidal prints from 1989 and made half of the blocks for the next top.     The living room is no longer full of cabinetry for the laundry, so I can  look forward to spreading out the layers and starting on assembly of these quilts soon.

 

 

New work     I had a lot of pink still out on the cutting table and one of my fabrics from Pat’s class had some fuchsia in it so I will try to see if I can  make the commercial fabrics dance with it.

There will be no post next week because I am going to the Canadian  Quilt Festival with friends.

Keep Creating folks.

June 2025

Hello,

It has stopped raining here and warmed up nicely.    The flowers are  blooming in every direction.  This seems to have been a super year for Iris as there are so many big ones open in our neighborhood.      I enjoy the bird song as we walk in the mornings and I have even been out to trim my hedge.   The season has really changed.     I only hand on line meetings this week.

Progress report: Past Times- Grandmother’s Gloves  This work is 49″ w X 51″ l.   I have been working on this hand project for about 9 months.   The doilies and handkerchiefs  are from the family box that cousin Casey sent me.

The gloves from both sides.   I asked for help with how to finish this work and Kathy suggested it have a lace boarder.  I like that solution.

 

 

 

 

 

Lap 11- 25   This lap quilt is made from mostly leftovers from the Sisterhood of the Scissors retreat challenge fabrics.

 

 

 

 Three Trees( group   challenge)   This work is 12″X12″.      It came from mixing tow ideas.   The Marcia group meets once a month and we decided to do a set of four small pieces.   Nothing over 12 ” square.   It is based on a  book about painting by Paul Bailey  called Experimental Nature in Acrylics.   We all got to make our own limitations beyond that.    My rules were to use only trims from the Ethel Whittemore bag  and follow the one third rules from Paul’s book.   I colored my four backgrounds with Ink tense pencils  at Angela’s play day last month.   One done three to go.

Spot On   I am to the quilting sage of this project.  I want to add some hand work too.

 

 

 

 

 

Cut It Out- test piece   Liz was passing forward this yellow screening.  It did not get picked up by anyone and when I got home it ended up next to some of the fabric from the dye class.   I did this test piece to see how it will work.   Now I need to begin the real thing.

 

 

New Work    I enjoyed playing with pink and sense I feel like it took on a life of it’s own when I was laying it out  I am going to try again with some different fabrics.

 

 

One last celebration of spring.

Moving Forward

Hello,

It has been a full week with lots of out door work.  I am  also starting to select works for my up coming show.   It will be made up of only  fabric collage without any quilts.

 

 

 

Here is the post card.

I spent Thursday at the Schweinfurth helping cut squares for a raffle quilt for Q=A=Q in the fall.

 

 

There was also a meeting at Marcia’s on Friday.

 

This work is by Jean  and a strong graphic.

 

 

 

 

 

Joyce is starting a new direction- branch weaving.   It is delightful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kathy is working in black and white at the moment.

We all had a good time and enjoyed the day.

Saturday  I went to lunch with Liz,  Victoria and Susan  were we made plans for more work.   I feel so very fortunate to have so many friends.

 

Progress Report: Lap 11-25   This lap quilt is all ready for layering and quilting.   I hope to get to it this week.   I took seven to my local nursing home .

 

 

 

 

Challenge    I am working away on the challenge from Marcia meeting.   Not at all sure what to call this and at this point I do not like it at all.

 

 

 

 

Spot On    This work really took on a life of it’s own when I started to build beyond the  curvy cut background.    I bit unnerving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scarp Happy   I am putting together leftovers and such, for the back of the scarp happy project.  I was over rambunctious and  have made enough assemblage for two backs and possibly  a third.

 

 

 

 

 Fabric Necklace   There was an article in Quilting Arts about making square fabric beads.     Jean at the FLFA meeting was wearing one and she has inspired me to start one of my own.     The squares are cut and pressed but no stitching as of yet.

I hope that Spring is bringing joy to you.

Rainy Spring

  Hello,

We are having a very rainy spring around here.  The flowers are really blooming though.     It has been a very quiet week for me with only the regular zoom meetings and such.    So I did a lot of work in the studio.

 

 

Progress Report: Dreaming

I really enjoyed working on this one.  It started with a close up of a piece of clay sculpture.   This is a new way of beginning for me and  I think I will do more work from this point of view.

 

 

There is a lot more quilting on this work than I usually do too

 

 

 

 

Red Tide   This work is 15.5 ” w X 25″ t.   I tried a new presentation for this one.  It is stretched around a foam core board.  I did this so I could stitch the piece through the foam core and it would not sag.

 

 

 

I sure enjoyed working with all the texture on this one.

 

 

 

 

Lap 9-25  I took  this work and  six other lap quilt s off to the nursing home on Thur.   They seemed pleased to get them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lap 11-25   This is the next one.  It will be ready to quilt some time this week end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scarp Happy   I am putting together a lot of leftovers to make a scrappy back for this next project.

 

 

 

 

Cut is Out – possibility     I pulled out these fabrics from the ones I dyed in Pat’s class two weeks ago.  I think they go together and will work for my nest scissors project.

 

 

 

 

 

Handworks  Adding  the blanket  stitch in navy blue makes the spirals come out form the background.  There is really too much clutter in this one.   Hopefully this will make it work.

 

 

 

 

 

New Work  I found these four heads  at the bottom of a box of scraps.   I will see if I can make them work in a new piece.

 

 

 

 

 

Grandmothers Gloves    I finished the last square in this project and then I put them all together like a quilt as you go block system.   Now I need to add a binding .

 

Keep Creating .

Hello,

Spring is really here!    The air is full of birdsong.  Not only are the Dandelions blooming so too are the trees.   There are lots of maple seed wings on the side walk and I even saw a robin’s blue shell on my walk today.    The trees screen out the view as they dress in their frail looking new leaves.      I  really enjoy this time of year.

 

Before I went off to week of dyeing I went to the Associated  Artis show in memory of Mimi.    I was surprised by her beautiful  batik work on paper.  The show will be up at the Manlius Public Library until June 7 when my solo show will replace it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also check out the found object art show at the library.  I enjoyed this one the most.

 

 

 

 

I am glad to be home too after my week of dyeing with Pat Pauly.    Five full days of printing and playing with dyes  was exhausting.   I am not accustomed to standing from 8:30 to 4:30 any more.  The class was enjoyable work none the less. Pat introduced us to some new techniques and reviewed ones she had taught before.

There were  lots of friend including  Cheri  and Joan, in the class.   They both  did some strong work.   This piece is Joan’s.   She did four techniques on this project.

 

 

 

This is an unfinished work by Cheri.   I know she added to the one on the left, but I am one sure about the banana leaves  on the right.

 

 

 

I worked on about 25 different pieces, most getting two or three layers of dye worked into them.    This is my one piece of linen.   I did not know i was suppose to zig zag the edge to avoid fraying.

 

 

 

This is a shot of my new” Solar Dryer ” with lots of my pieced drying after I got home.    It was a good time and I am glad I did it.

 

 

 

I went to Ellen Blalock’s  solo  exabit that was on the third floor of   the Schweinfurth  too.   She is so very inspiring!   This is only a small portion of this great work.

 

 

 

 

On Saturday after the dyeing workshop, there was a FLFA  meeting.     It was full of great work too.     This is Maureen’s newest piece and she got lots of suggestions as to how to go forward.

 

 

 

Linda has now finished the thread  work on this powerful piece  of whole cloth  work.     Yes, those trees are all machine drawn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next   was  Jean  Mc  work.   She asked for and got lots of suggestions as to how to go froward on this one too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheri brought  a powerful work that is a combination of felting and stitch work.    I love how bold she is with the edge shapes in her work.

 

 

Jean G   shared some of her work with reflections from windows in NYC.     She really uses color very well.

 

 

 

Liz , Victoria and I enjoyed a play day at Angel’s this week too.   The goal was to experiment with Ink Tense pencils and chalks.   I was making  bases for the challenge Kathy gave us to do  with  landscapes.  The bottom right dose not have the water step done yet, so it still has sharp edges.

 

 

 

 

Angela shared her latest stitch work.   It was inspired by the reputing volcano in Hawaii.

 

 

 

 

 

I got a nice surprise in the mail from my cousin, Tracy .   She sent me this  box full of old hand made squares that belonged to her husbands grandmother.     I think I will set this aside and work on in in the winter.

 

 

Progress Report:  Red Tide   I am now in the middle of trying to mount   this work on foamboard.  I have clipped it to the board and I am stitching through to get it to stay in place.

 

The stitches are through the foamboard and  buttons so they will not tear out.    It is always a game when one does not really know what one is doing.

 

 

 

 

 

Dreaming    I m machine quilting away on this project now.  I think I will finish  this step soon and go onto the binding this week.

 

 

 

 

Lap 9-25    This work is all pin basted now and I will start the machine quilting soon.

 

 

 

 

 Lap 10-25  Somehow  I got started quilting on this quilt before I did # 9.   I only need to finish it and I will be adding the binding  on it soon too.

 

 

 

 

 

Lap 11-25  I pulled fabric for the next lap quilt this week as well.

 

 

 

 

Handwork- Spiralis

I’m doing handwork in the evenings.  The colored  shapes are all cutaways from other projects.

 

It has been a full two weeks and I am sure the same will  come my way this week.

Return

 Hello,

Spring is here and I had a good week.   I love  it when the red buds are out and the air is warmer.    That and the Dandelions are a sure sigh of spring to me.   I also did pick violets on my Birthday last week.   Mom use to put them on my Birthday cake.

   I  along  with Liz  made  the  drive  to Marcia’s house on Friday.  It is always fun to work with like minded folks around.

Joyce worked on her project from the retreat and she was doing the facing that day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deb  spent her time repairing Lambchop for her grandchild.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nancy worked on a baby quilt.

Liz made more houses for her project, but I didn’t get a photo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I worked on these faces at Marcia’s.

 

I made it to the Textile Talks both weeks and the Pixie meetings too.

 

 

Progress Report:   Lap 7-25  The feeling of spring really invaded this project.   There was a time when I would never choose this green as a part of my pallet.   Guess we all change.

 

 

Robins Flight

This quilt ended up being 40″ 50.5″.   I really enjoyed this project.  The reflective quilting adds to the feeling of movement in my eyes.

I also had one print left over so it will become a pillow I think.

 

 

 

 

 

Black Light    I stretch this project and it is 16″ X 20″.   It is my second Oxymoron project.

 

 

I used Angelina  and free motion work to create my circles.

 

 

 

 

Tennis Shoes   Joyce challenged me to paint tennis shoes a few months ago.   I finally got the job done.

 

 

Dreaming   I am in the middle of the quilting step on this project now.  I am doing each color in a different free motion pattern.

 

 

 

 

 

Lap 19-25   Sometimes the fabric just tells one what to do.   I thought this was going to become a back for a lap quilt .  But with the fresh eyes that come in the morning – I realized it worked on it’s own.   The top I thought I was doing really belongs on a horizonal layout-so I will use it on the next Scrap Happy in that fashion.

 

 

Felt Balls I am still working away on these fellows.

 

 

 

 

Glove Block Because I spent a lot of time in waiting rooms this week, I did a lot of work on this square.  I  look forward to assembling the total quilt when this handwork is  done.

 

 

 

Red Tide   I try to put in a little time in on this project most days.   The bead and button step  is nearly complete.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scissors Pillow  I did the free motion work in class last summer.   I finally put the pillow together this week.

 

 

 

Sand Piper   I used this last  sand paper to make a little project.

 

 

 

 

 

Next week I will be taking a five day workshop with Pat Pauly at the Schweinfurth.   I will be dyeing fabric and in preparation for that process I have been busy soda soaking fabric this week.   As a result of the class  there will not be a blog post on April 10.   I look forward to the dye play and I plan to take lots of photos.
