Details, Details

Karen Shultz has been synthesizing line for years now, and each time her work appears at Quilts=Art=Quilts I take notice of how she uses this element in the composition. Mixed Messages is her piece for the show, definitely a show worth seeing. And a very covid-safe and friendly place.
 

It's Virtually Strange, But Fun

Abstract was the buzz word today for the week long design class. This exercise had to marry great shapes with great background. Mine (above) was pale compared to what the class did. No problem with that, I'm glad to see better outcomes!

New and Just Hung Up

I can't remember if I posted this here. "Family Wedding" tuned out pretty wide and high, about 7' x 8'. It won' last long on that wall, covering the light switches, but I had to live with it for a bit. Destined for a show this summer, we'll see what happens.

On the Machine

I say this to whoever will listen: I love to quilt the lines that I've drawn with dye. They might be from silkscreen, monoprint, or directly drawn with a thin pointed bottle. But accenting what is already there just feels like the right thing to quilt.

Meeting of the Minds

The group Finger Lakes Fiber Artists meets every few months to share and encourage each other to continue work in fibers. Most often, the works are art quilts, but other processes and techniques are brought to the table, or in this case, the wall.

You Can Pet the Coat..

...but don't touch the quilts at the Schweinfurth. Here is Liz, to the terror of Priscilla, getting close to Marcia's wonderful coat. It is all right, the coat can take it, Priscilla. Quilts=Art=Quilts is on view until January 8, 2012.

Finding Your Place

Happy to say that my work "Mummy Bags / Canopic Jars" won first place at the Quilts=Art=Quilts show tonight at the opening. Lucky for me, this wall!

Fabric on the Go (Post #101!)

Fabric is pressed and ready to go tomorrow to Quilting Around Chautauqua. This event has quits, entertainment, and of course wonderful vendors -- like me! Stop in and say that you saw this post, mention the number (101) and I will take off $5 from your sale of my fabric. What a deal!
