Still Not Shoveling

The lump of snow outside my door is mainly most of my roof (I raked it 2 weeks ago) but the stuff on the chair and table are fresh from the sky. Today was set up day -- gathering what I'll need -- for next week's printing class. And hours and hours of computer wrestling files to send off. Why am I thinking of spring?
 

Third Block

At 18" square, this one might be my favorite. It has the raw strokes of the printed mark, some of the 'print the table' action, and a bit of improv piecing. I've only to mark the corners and send it off to England. It will be some time before it is combined, but that's fine. I'm happy to finish this before spring shows.
 

Second Block

The smallest block meant for the collaborative quilt measures 9 x 18. I've pieced the heart, the thin lines, and the rest relies on the printed fabric. The red of the heart is cut from printed fabric. 
 

Snow Moon

Sitting in the northeast states, we're used to snow. As a Buffalonian by birth, I've got snow in my blood. So this latest cover of snow, and no surprise, cold, greets this full moon with a clear night sky and a landscape that can be seen in its light. This detail of a work sent India, fills in for tonight's moon. 
 

One Down

 

The block I made in the "Make It & Break It" method turned out swell, so that's finished and ready to go. It's be a 'block' as part of a group quilt, and this one is 18 x 27 It's part of a project for Crafty Monkies, which I'm nearly finished with. Ya Hoo!

Here's the Fun

As a demonstration of improv and using templates, I took last week's prints and combined a few to make this large blog. Those who know my 'ways' know what I'll do next. With luck, it'll be finished tomorrow, and then you'll see how it has been tamed.
 

Project Progress

I've been working on a project with Craft Monkies which included making three blocks for a group quilt. All or these fabrics were printed for the project, and I filmed making them. Now it's time too put the into blocks. The frames indicate the sized of the blocks -- a tool I find extremely helpful
 

Revealing

I hadn't hope to see much of anything in the dark goo I washed out, but hey, there's something there. It's a moody looking piece, and I'll make it into something, Takeaway would be to know the final value of the color, and I knew it was going to present as light. 
 

Blind Faith

 At the end of a printing session there was alot of dark leftovers. I've under printed a leaf motif, then spread over all weak aqua mixed with stuff from the table. Looks frightful, and might be just that, but I've got a wager that the dark on top will tame down. I'll wash out tomorrow and see.

More Printing

I've continued with demos for Crafty Monkies today. Printing the screens, adding rubbings, talking motif, and mixing color were all that went into my rambling thoughts as I printed one after another. Can't wait to wash out to see the dye strength, Tomorrow!

 

New and Just Hung Up

With a new foot of snow landing throughout the day, it was the perfect time to finish quilting this whole cloth print. Facings are done, sleeve attached, and tomorrow after the snowplow has come, I'll deliver it. It'll travel Wednesday to its home in India, and I hope that it will be welcomed.
