Holidays Beginning

Hello,

Here it is a week before Thanksgiving already.   I will not be posting next week due to the time I will be spending with my family.  I hope you to enjoy the holiday.

All the trees but the Oaks have shed their leaves in our area.  That has sure opened up how far one can see.     Across the park and into deep ravines the dark fingers of trees reach out, but one can see beyond them .   Leaves still run down the street in front of us as we walk and the squirrels  scold form their branches, but it remains a  beautiful time of year, epically if the sun is out.

The week end was spent at the Schweinfurth’s Fall Retreat.  It was a fun time with lots of old friends.     Emily and Susan discovered that they were both wearing variations on black and brown sweaters first thing on Friday Morning.

 

 

 

 

Emily worked on this  colorful  project  and  nearly completed   the  top.

 

 

 

 

Susan did some great color play with her blocks too.

 

 

 

 

Sharon was a whorl wind and  did three  projects.    This is just a start.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Victoria worked on several projects too.   I really like this little dress.

 

 

 

 

 

Marty really played with color with these wonderful strips of silk.   She assured me this is not the final layout

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jeanette worked on a bed quilt wedding gift.    She got is half done.    It’s a beauty!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deb was busy making fabric bags for Christmas gifts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nancy put together a photo transfer image that she had taken.    Six panels here.   She was not sure how she would quilt it.   I  think that is a big challenge.

 

 

Donna did hand quilting on this beautiful  old   long cabin  project.

 

 

 

Joyce worked on three different things.  This was the last.  I can hardly wait to see what she does with this one.

 

 

Ann did a lot of handwork and was thinking about a second jellyfish quilt like this little work.

 

 

 

We decided on the Sisterhood  Challenge too.   There are three parts.

1.some of the fabric Susan selected and gave us at the retreat has to be a part of it.

2.  some glitz needs to be a part of the work

3. Some handwork needs to be included.

This work from the  QAQ  show fits two of the rules for  this challenge, so there ott to be lots of unique stuff in the future.

 

Victoria is doing a paper for Social Art on James Castle on Tue.   I am on the committee to do table decorations for that event.   Here is my start on my  mimic of one of his works.      Only two more to go.

 

 

 

 

Progress Report: Lap 24/25    I am working on the binding of this piece now I am sure it will be finished soon.

 

 

 

 

 

Lap 25/25   I used a lot of my altered fabrics in this top for the next lap quilt.  It is ready for pin basting.

 

   

 

 

 

Crystals   I am now quilting this pieces.  It is slow going as I am trying to do a different type of pattern in each section of the block.

 

 

 

Tree Series # 1   I didn’t put in as much time on this project as I intended this week.   All the distant trees are appliqued and I am working on the big close up one.   Then it will be time for branches and trunks.

 

 

 

 

Flotsam and Jetsam  I am slowly working around the outside of this work.   It is filling in nicely all be it slowly.

 

 

 

Polk Weed      I made a base using my broken block style for the background for this quilt.  I have faced and turned the berries( the purple half circle at the top is one).   I ordered some beautiful fuchsia  silk from Linda Salitrinski  for the steams.  It came today, so I can move forward.

 

 

Black Capped Chickadees   I did the thread painting of the birds at the retreat.   Then yesterday I washed them out and built the background.    I am still moving the birds around and have just about decided the third one is not necessary    I plan to add more berries to the limbs .

  Handwork pillow   I started this work in Florida before the pandemic.   It has been my pick up : only when every thing else is done for a long time.   Now I only need to stuff it.

 

Have a pleasant Thanksgiving.

Home from Sisterhood Retreat

Hello,

I arrived home from the 2025 Sisterhood of the Scissors Retreat on Kuka  Lake yesterday.  We left on Friday last week so and  I  had a good time.   Liz got sick on day two and Victoria was not at the top of her game either.

It was a glorious time to be there as the color was great.   I walked every day and that added to my pleasure.

 

Everyone  sharded great little gifts and I came home with a horde of new items.    They are a generous and thoughtful group of gals.   The spotted fabric at the bottom is the challenge fabric for 2026.   Susan selected it for us.

 

 

 

 

This years challenge produced a wide variety of solutions.        Deb saw a lamp in the fabric and produced this bed room.  She also used it in the head board.

 

 

 

 

 

Joyce saw a volcano in the fabric.      She got to use  a little her new coloring technique as well as the insert.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kathy worked on this nice big project with lots of hand work on it .

 

 

 

This handsome small work was by Victoria.

 

 

 

 

 

Ann had a nice solution as well.

 

 

 

This is my work.

 

 

 

Everyone had projects that they worked on during the week as well as some show and tell.

Joyces spent some time beading on this beautiful batik piece.

 

 

 

 

She also had a good time working with her Gelli plate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ann worked on this piece that is a map of Kuka lake.   She stitched down all the buildings and is now ready to begin adding grape leaves to represent the vineyards around the lake.

 

 

Ann had some wonderful little quilts for show and tell.   She also showed off some of her beautiful crochet work.

 

 

 

 

 

Susan was jut home from another retreat doing three D work using paper and cardboard that she hand stitched together.

 

 

She showed off and worked on this flat  piece too.

 

 

Kathy worked on this Quilt of Valor.  It is ready for layering and quilting now.

 

 

 

We took a  field trip on Sat to the Windmill and shopped and ate lunch.

 

 

 

 

It was a beautiful. day and we enjoyed ourselves.

 

 

 

We ate a lot of ice cream, sat on the big poaches and talked.   The whole event went very quickly with  a lot of work and relaxation for us healthy folks.

 

Progress Report:   Hummingbirds    I took lots of projects to the retreat.    I did draw and outline the humming birds for my Hollyhock quilt.  But I was not sure how I wanted to do the wings and so this is all I got done.

 

 

 

 

Round It Out   I feel like I made a good start on this new project.  The base is built and I have some of the circles pinned in place.    It is really a work in progress.

 

 

Cut It Up     I had cut up all the squared before I left and I sent a day squaring them up and putting them together  at the retreat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scrap Happy The box of leftover squares from old scarp happy quilts was overflowing so I knew there were enough for a new top.  This one is in rows with no pattern .

 

 

  Handwork- Summer Meadows   I took this along as my evening handwork  and I only want to add little white butterflies to it and it will be ready for finishing.

Crystal Squares    I took this photo of a high relief sculpture at the show that the group visited in Rochester earlier this year.    I though it would be a good basis for a quilt square.

So at the retreat I drew it up and added quarter inch seams.  Using those templates,  I built one square.    I need to do some modifications on it, before it will work as a square .  But I think it is worth the effort.

 

 

Book Page   I needed to do something completely different while I was at the Zoom meeting of the Pixie group yesterday afternoon, so I pulled out this old project and worked on it.    One more flower to build  now.

 

It has been a good week and I  as soon as I get stuff put away I will be ready to tackle the projects that I am in the middle of.

Enjoy the fall and keep creating

End of Summer

  Hello,

Summer will officially come to an end on Sunday with fall equinox.     I have noticed that the sun is going down  a  lot sooner.    The plants are starting to show the changes of fall as well.

I have had a busy week starting   with a trip to Marcia’s on Friday.   It was a good get together with lots of sharing and good work.

 

 

This one is by Kathy.  She added buttons to make spiders on this work while we where their.

 

 

 

 

 

Joyce was busy making bowls.     She cut fabric for a new bunch at the meeting.

 

 

Deb worked on a beautiful  guild challenge   piece.

 

 

 

 

 

And we got introduced to a new way to do scrap quilts call Trash quilts.    It’s always a fun time.

 

 

 

 

Saturday was the FLFA Meeting at the Schweinfurth.     I went early so I could view the Members show too.   Victoria had a good box piece in this show.

 

 

 

Jean G  work was included in the show.   I like how she is building up her surface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Nancy  was working on this pieces at the fall retreat and now its done.  Looks great in this show.

 

 

 

 

Desy included this work in the show.

 

 

 

 

Ann finished her jelly fish and it was a part of the show as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Red Tide work was also a part of the members show.

 

 

 

 

The  FLFA  meeting was small but the work was great!    Cheri brough several pieces including this one that she wanted some feed back on.  The group talked and she told me later that it really helped.

 

 

Jean M showed  some of her work from QBL and explained what she learned.

 

 

 

 

Joan showed off this wonderful piece with it’s irregular edge.   It is great use of the fabric she printed in the fall.

 

 

Victoria shared her newest piece with a great mix  of new fabrics and old work  cuts.    She introduced the use of Cola pens to make marks too.   ( the thick black lines)

 

 

 

 

Susan finished up her work from QBL class as well.

 

 

 

 

Bev works away in her studio and produces some surprising stuff.   I really like this work.

 

 

  My third event for the week was Sunday with the opening of the Associated Artist Show.   I was delighted to learn that my piece ” Winter Tide Pool ” won best of show.

Honorable mentions went to Laura   and Guta.

This is Laura’s piece .  It too is a fiber piece and I really like it.

 

 

 

 

 

Guta’s did a wonderful plain air water color.

I made it to the  Textile talk on  Wed and  the Sisterhood Zoom  meeting too.   After all those events  the rest of the week was quite.

 

Progress Report:   Hollyhocks and Humming Birds    I am starting to attach the steams and flowers  now.  It takes about 45 min to do each one so I will be at this one a while

 

 

 

 Lap# 21- 25  I did this top during the week.  I do not have any more  polar fleece to use as centers, so I am at a bit of a stand still until I find a new source.  I miss Jo Ann’s.

 

 

 

 

Protesting   Sisters  I  am making progress here. I decided on of the sisters needed to be gray haired,so us older gals are now represented.    Kathy suggested that I make the quilt have an irregular edge so that one of the signs will not be cut off.   I love the idea and I am working on that challenge now.

 

 Square bead necklaces     I put together several more of these this week.  I only have enough beads for three more now.

It is a busy time of the year, but I am enjoying every min.

Keep creating

Spring is Here

Hello,

Spring has arrived according to the calendar as well as the longer sun filled days.   I saw more geese migrating north this week as well as these Snowdrops.   The temperature around here is still doing crazy things, but the longer days really helps one’s mood.

I have only had one day at home this week.

I helped take down the Both Ends of the Rainbow show at the Schweinfurth on Monday.    We worked hard and cleared and packed all three west galleries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The yesterday I help Noel do more  packing of her studio space.  She generously gave me  lots of beads.   I will not need to shop for beads anywhere except my closet for a long time .

I also went to the  zoom meetings for Sisterhood of the Scissors and Pixies this week.   There was also a FAD meeting were I got so great  feedback and suggestions on some of my work.

Progress Report: Judy’s Banquet  This work is 40″w X 55″ t.   I made it all from the silk dress of Judy’s mom.     It was a pleasant  to work with the silk and it did not slide around much when I zig zagged it down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lap 6-25  I got busy and this is a new top that is pin basted an ready to quilt.  I took seven lap quilts to the nursing home this week as well.

 

 

 

Stencils- Robins and Black Capped Chickadees

The chickadees are  done with oil sticks .   The robins are  stenciled with acrylic paint.   I did another print day this week and  there are now enough robins for a quilt.

Oxymorons Challenge-  Plastic Silverware.   The fabric is all  stitched down now.   I am ready to add highlights.  I also drilled wholes in the plastic silverware  I want to add on top.

 

 

 

 

Red Tide    I am finally ready to start a new handwork tide piece.  I will be using some of the red beads beads that Noel gave me in this one.

 

 

 

Pillows    My friend Marilyn gave me the handwoven fabrics for these two pillows last fall.   I finally finished them this week.

 

My life is full and I have many friends that make it more joyful and rich.

Nature Keeps Moving

Hi,

We have joyously enjoyed a warm spell this week and  also  listened to the honking of migrating birds on our walks.   I know the full moon tomorrow is called a worm moon as the earth worms are starting to emerge from the cold earth.   But I have not seen any of them yet.   That plus the longer sun light days assure me that spring is on its way.     The tilt of the earth is also noticeable to me as the sun  shine now comes almost directly in through the 15 pains of  the east facing door of my studio  in the early morning.  Nature just keeps doing a powerful job of going forward.

It has been a very quiet week for me with only the Pixie meeting and  Textile Talks.

Progress Report: Sandpipers This work is 28.5″ w X 46″ t.    It is my response  to the  Sisterhood of the Scissors retreat fabric  challenge.    I hand drew all the birds and then appliqued them down.   

 

The challenge fabric are the cliffs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lap 5-25     I enjoyed working on this lap quilt this week.   It is a great way for me to mix fabrics  I have printed in the past with commercial material.

 

 

 

 

Lap 6-25   Spring green is in my blood I guess as I pulled some of the same colors to use in this next one.

 

 

 

 

Judy’s Banquet   I finished cutting away all the flowers from the dress this week and free motion appliqued them down.     I even started reflective quilting yesterday.   It is a happy work.

 

 

 Oxymoron   I drew patters and started cutting the shapes of the silverware .   I am still playing with the arrangement of the parts .  This is real fun  for me.

 

 

 

 

Handwork     I did not spend much time on this work this week as I did the bindings on the  projects to complete them instead .

 

 

Stencils-   Black Capped Chickadees   I spent time designing and cutting stencils this week.       I will be busy printing in the near future.

Robins  I got a lot more  excited with the robins and they are far more active.  I may need to do a bit more work with the chickadees.    I also realized I will need to cut a second  stencil for each bird for the red breast so I can use  two colors .

Keep Creating and enjoy the longer day light.

February Ending

Hello,

I can’t quite believe we are nearing the end of this month already.  I know it is this shortest of the year, but even that dose not seem to explain how it has flown by so quickly to me.   I find that time is a strange element.    At times it seems to inch along at a slow pace, epically at night when on can’t seem to fall asleep.     Then when one is busy the speed at witch it passes is a bit breath taking. This month as be a flier for me.

 

This week has been a full one as well.   On Tuesday,  I went with Liz to Angela’s and we spent the afternoon making paste papers.    I am not sure how I will use these at this time, but I will think on it.

 

 

 

Then yesterday Liz and I made a trip   to pick up her sewing machine after it’s repair.  We followed that with a drive to Quilters Corner in Ithaca.

I went  a little crazy and purchased this assortment of fabrics.    Three for specific projects and three fun ones.

There was also a Pixie meeting this week.

  Progress  Report: Lap 3-25        I sure enjoy these little projects  that give me a chance to play with color and placement.

 

 

 

 

 

4-25   This project grew directly out of the one before.   I am ready to move on to different colors for the next one.

 

 

 

 

 

Tide’s Out  I am working along the right side of this project now.    I do enjoy the process.

 Sisterhood Challenge    I finally got going on this challenge this week.    The cliffs are the challenge fabric.   At the quilt store I purchased two gray/ browns  that I want to use as my starting place to build some Sandpiper’s to add to the composition.

 

 

 

Paper Dolls    I finished using all the heads from the deck and now I am done with my Card Character’s.   It was a fun little diversion.

Handwork     I only do this handwork when there is no other pressing project.  I did finish the binding on 3-23 and then worked on this one.

As the light fills the sky a little longer every day I know that spring is coming closer.

Fall Retreat

  Hello,

Friday was the last Super Moon of this year.    It is also know as a Deer Moon or a Bever Moon.    I took this a dusk.     The Schweinfurth  Fall Retreat was last week end  as well.  It was a great time.   There were lots of old friends and a lot got done by many folks.

 

 

Sharon   did most of the work on this new Heroin quilt.  She still needs to finish up the actual bird, but I am sure she will do a great job on it too.

 

 

 

Liz asked for and received contributions from everyone  for her quilt.    The piece has lots of new memories in it now.   It is all pinned and she needs to do the hand work to finish it .

 

 

 

 

 

Marty got a dozen blocks done for this new work.    This shot was taken Friday.

 

 

 

Lourie did a lot of work by laying out a different   possible top every day for the three days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Janet finished her top assembly  on Sunday afternoon.

 

 

 

 

This top was completed on Saturday and she was well along the way on her second one by the end of the day on Sunday.

It was a great time for all of us.

I made it to the Textile Talk this week and  I had a Sisterhood of the Scissors zoom meeting .

 

The Pixies had a Green Collage Challenge  this week.

Next week the color is yellow.

 

 

 

 

 

I did a second so  I could use some of the Geli Print paper in it.

 

 

 

Progress Report: Scrap Happy  I finished this queen sized work this week too.  It will be a Christmas gift for my daughter.

 

 

 

Autumn Cuts      I have filled in only one of the shapes so far, but them I was away for three days this week

 

 

 

 

Bleaching Coral   I put in the time on this one this week.  I like how it is filling in.

 

 

 

 

Cut the Cord   I worked on this at the retreat.   I was not at all happy with the background  and so  I have built a new one that I think will work a bit better.

 

 

I am still quilting on it.

 

 

Cut and Print  I printed all the blocks at Angela’s a few weeks ago.  Now I am trying to build film( the stuff at the left )to fill in the blocks.  I am  not sure this works yet either.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Year    I pulled out this set of blocks this week and now I am ready to put them together.      I have four more blocks and I have not decided if I want to include them or not…   Got to live with it .

There will be no Blog next week as it is Thanksgiving.   I have a lot to be thankful for this year and I hope that you feel that way as well.

Sisterhood Retreat for 2024

  Hello,

I came home yesterday from the Sisterhood Retreat for this year.    We  had a great time as usual.   The weather was beautiful every day and several of us walked  and enjoyed the views of the lake and surrounding landscapes.

We went to the Windmill, a weekend farmers type market,  on Saturday mooring.  We had a great lunch and enjoyed the event.

 

 

I purchased some lovely deep purple roving .    Joyce got herself a new pair of patchwork    pants  that she wore to our night out for dinner on Saturday evening.

 

 

We all worked away on  various projects.

Kathy  was the most productive.  She had a different theme for every day.

 

First she did Halloween work .   This is one of several she worked on.     Then she moved onto the a group challenges for ROFA  called Drop.     Both Joyces and Deb worked on that challenge too.  It was enjoyable to see how differently the three of them interpreted that subject.     The last day she worked on making sweater mittens for a sale she will be in later this fall.

 

 

Liz had several projects .  One was old blocks and they are a fun collection.

 

 

 

 

 

Joyce collected sticks on one of our walks and used them in several of the many dolls she was working on.

 

 

 

 

Kathy   was a busy camper using every min.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was so nice out of doors that I spent time on the Poarch as did most of us.   There was a nice clear plastic  barrier so even when the wind was blowing it was quite pleasant out there.   That did make for interesting  images.

 

 

We went to Ann’s for dinner on the last night  and she got to show off her barn home to Liz, Deb and Kathy.

 

 

 

 

It was a great final evening to a fun time.   Liz made  Smore Pies for dessert.

 

 

 

Progress Report:    Line Shirt     I worked on this project on the poach several days.   It was blank when I started on  this outing.

 

 

 

 

 

Roundies       I did this fellow while Kathy went out in her little boat.

 

 

 

 

Clear Cut    I made great progress on this piece.   I started the zigzag applique yesterday after I got home.

 

 

 

 

 

I only need to do the center of seven of the  finger wholes and  I will be ready to quilt it.

 

 

 

 

 

Cut  Away     I can see now that I need a new back layer under the cuttings.  I could not get far enough away from the work to see how poor the contrast is at the retreat.

 

 

 

Cut/Print      I printed these blocks   of scissors  before I left, but some how  they got left behind.   They are all ready for the next project none the less.

 

 

 

 

Photo Play   In the newest issue of Quilting Art’s Magazine there is an article by Margaret Abramshe on PICSART that Joyce, Liz and I tried .

 

 

 

 

It is a complex program with lots of suggestions and I am sure I will be at it a long time.     Here is just a first example  with the original on the left and the altered  image on the right.

 

 

 

 

Lastly I want to include a shot of the house where we were  from the bottom of the parking lot.     As you can see , the land rises steely away from the lake. I enjoyed myself but it is good to be home.

There will not be a post next week as I am off with Eric to visit family  on the west coast.

Visiting

Hello,

It has been a week with several visits to other quilters.  Thursday,  I went off to Mill Sight Lake with Nancy to visit Judy at her camp.   I was surprised to find several of my old works hanging on the walls there.    Sharon joined us too.   Sadly,   it rained both days, but we still had a good time talking and doing hand work.

 

Rose, Judy’s dog and good companion, spent a lot of time on her lap.

 

 

 

 

Then on Tuesday,  Sharon and I went to Ann’s Barns for a  day of quilt play.    It was sort of a mini Sisterhood of the Scissors meeting.  She as been busy doing lots of renovation so the space is more livable to her and the new studio looks wonderful.   This is a shot of her fabric wall cabinets.

Ann’s work   looks great on her new walls too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Val shared her City Scrapes piece with us.   In the sky she free motion wrote lots of words about the city of New York City.

 

 

 

 

  Sharon has only to stitch the binding on her Heron Quilt now and it will be complete.   It is one of her best works in my opinion.

 

The Pixie’s meant yesterday and we had a good talk and I also listened to the SAQA lecture on “Labeling Your Quilts”.

Progress Report:   New Scissors    I started a new scissors piece and I am making progress.  Many pieces are cut, but nothing is fused down yet.     I hope to start that step later today.

Scrap Back   I am in the process of adding together scarp pieces for the back of my next Scarp  Happy project.  Grandson Gavin, expressed an interest in a new one, so I am off to it.

 

 

Scarp Blocks     I have cut the 4.5″ centers for the new blocks for the Scrap Happy and they have one side of the Roman Strip added to them.  I know this pile does not show much- that’s  it.

 

 

 

Handwork -Glove Block  I work on this up at Mill Sight.  It is started now and I am sure I will keep at it.

 

 

 

 

Little Monsters     Joyce and I have a little challenge going and this it my solution.      I think they work  as the only two rules were that there had to have ears and teeth.

I hope that the summer is providing you with good times and joy.

Spring

Hello,

Well the days are getting longer,  but today the weather around here is very cold with snow.  It was far warmer last week.   One can not control the weather so I guess I’ll just smile and go on.   I only had two zoom meetings this week with the Pixies and the Sisterhood of the Scissors, so I should have gotten a lot of studio time.  But I did go and get my covid booster, an RSV shot and a shot for Shingles all on the same day.  My body did not like that  and I lost a whole day to feeling tired and sleeping.  Much better now and I remind myself that getting any one of these diseases would be a lot worse!

Progress Report: BV  Blocks project     I am still quilting away on the project.   I’d about half done at this point.   This part of the   SAQA  100 challenge.

Art Blocks ( middle sized)  This is the third quilt in the SAQA 100 challenge  day project.  We are at day 67 and I am even farther behind than I  was before.  I still have seven of the middle sized blocks to assemble and then I need to do the small version.   I am still not happy with my self about being unable to meet my goals and although I put in time every day I am still behind.

Ethel Quilt # 4  I have started quilting on this project.  But sense there is not dead line for it, this is the last project I tackle at the end of the day.  It is also very heavy to get through the standard machine.   My Phaff Quilter is off at the repair shop due to the fact that the bobbin winder is not working.

Pixie Pieces    I decided to call this Pixie Pieces because the base fabric is one I did with spoon flower in response to a push by the Pixies group.  I am using it with the Finding Fragments class because it has to do with altering the surface and I  did not like how the fabric turned out.

Coral Shores    I keep adding to this work and because I had two zooms this week it got more attention than usual.   I like how it is coming together.

Drawing      I put in a little time in the sketchbook this week too.  It is good to switch gears for me  as it really clears my head.  I need to do that more often.

I am hoping for a warmer spring as the days go longer.
