Framed, a Different Take

I stitched if from the back of the linen, just catching the backing, to adhere it to the linen. I ended up gluing the linen to the foam core board, and used the frame -- without the glass -- to finish it. I left the edges of the quilt raw, and I like the effect. It's now on view, we'll see how it looks this weekend. 
 

Four Out the Door

 All four of the small works (2' x 2') have gone to forever homes from the gallery exhibit at QSDS. This image is a compliation using a phone app called Layout. It lets me group images and crop a bit to fit into a simple grid. Rudimentary, but easy to gang photos for note taking. 

Auction Winner

Judy outbid the crowd that thought my work was the one. She's kind to value it, and knows how I print this as we were together in a class at QSDS a few years ago. I know it will be appreciated, as I appreciate knowing it's off to its forever home. Thank you Judy!
 

Three Down, One to Go

I've brought these three 2 x 2 pieces with me on my grandmother visit, so naps, and in between times I can get the facings and sleeves sewn down. Since I was reticent to use straight pins, I folded, ironed, and then basted the facings. It wasn't difficult to remove basting, and it left no worry about loose pins.
 

Trimmed and Quilt Ready

The largest graphic, and most important element is the cluster of dark circles, and I wanted them to be different than any other part of this composition. The rest -- the three quarters that circle around it -- mush together in vaguely the same weight. This is now quilt ready.
 

The Last Thing

The last of five small works that will be at QSDS is getting its sleeve sewn on tonight. Then I'll have to decide which to donate to the live auction (Fridays) and which to exhibit for sale. But five will travel to Columbus with me. 
 

Another Thing

One more little (2 x 2) work for QSDS's needs. Can't say if this will be for exhibit and sale (proceeds are split between artist and QSDS) or will head to the auction at the end of each week. Stay tuned.
