Getting the Stage Set

Saturday morning I'll be a guest on Joe Cunningham's Quilt Freedom Workshop. Here's the studio wall piled with about 7 quilts to start. The tallest leads, and it's also the bridge from represtationmal to the abstract works I'm doing now. I always have fun, you would too. View anytime, here is the link for tickets:

Full Moon for March

Worm moon, the nickname for this month's moon, has things coming out of the ground and emerging. Which is how we can feel after being closed up for so long. I'm ready for getting out, even if clouds cover tonight's full moon. 
 

Using Freezer Paper

Yesterday's The New Big Leaf class was all about using templates to fabricate a design. Although this work was improvisationally pieced, I used freezer paper to select the perfect oval, cut out the interior and surround, and apply the parts to the work before piecing in place.  No fabric waste (like a mistake!).  
 

Checking on My Garden

The Schweinfurth's Quilts=Art=Quilts exhibit continues and I see it afresh each time I visit. My work -- the blue garden thing -- is in great company. And the discussion continues: we want to know why, how they did it, what was the inspiration, what did the juror see. Endless possibilities.
