Waiting on the Design Wall

I've scrambled the lower portion of this piece, and I like the progression. I'll move some things around. For my "Columns" fan, this was part of the solution, and for my "Make It & Break It" fans, I've used some of that process as well. Following my OWN advice for this one.
 

A Quilting-We-Will-Go

I'm happy the dark and cold keep me indoors, I can stand to spend hours at the longarm without the yearning to be outdoors. I've climbed about 1/3 of this piece, saving some for tomorrow. I split my time between studios today, stopped for groceries, then hunkered down to tackle this. Good day all 'round.
 

The Memory Stash

I'm using fabric I purchased long ago for a backing fabric. It's hard for me to part with some of these because each contains a memory of where it came from, who may have given it, or what I used the fabric for elsewhere. But this is my way of using it and a way to have it stay part of my work. 
 

Finished No Name

Happy to watch programs while sewing the facing and sleeve. Now that it's finished it needs a name. I can only think that it reminds me of a dancing Snoopy from Peanuts, but I need better. I'll live with it a while, till something hits. 
 

Reds and Pinks

I disassembled my already tumbled pile of prints looking for some red/pink fabric that someone requested. This may be a contender. I'll be printing soon virtually in February, and then for real in Santa Fe. But I've carved out a week in May, near home, in Auburn, New York, to print at the Schweinfurth. Home Printing!
 

How Do You Subscribe?

Here's a look at the completed top, I'm finishing it soon. Meanwhile, I was asked how one subscribes to this blog. Darn if I know, but there are a couple of hundred of you who figured it out. Can you enlighten me as to the trick??
 

Diversion

I had this waiting in the wings, and suddenly it became the center player. I think that's the case because it has clearer, more defined elements. So, I constructed it yesterday and am quilting it today and tomorrow. My incentive is that I can watch a movie while I sew the facings and sleeve. 
 

Why Stencils?

I give you a glimpse into the studio, where I hang a piece of printed fabric each day I'm there. Today I answered an email question from someone who will printing virtually next month -- why need stencils. Searching long for an example (found), then came to work and it was staring at me, upper left of center.

Creeping Progress

I hauled my sorry self over to the studio today. I've reconfigured the one on the main wall, but I'm not satisfied as yet. It's about 74" square. Maybe it's too similar to others I've made, or it's not reached its potential. I like the idea that is has potential!
 

Pick and Choose

The second day of my virtual workshop Within the Frame took a look at how the surrounding design interacts with the center. These two of many tryouts struck a chord with the class. I will have toe decide which to use, or perhaps make them both!
 

Next Up

It starts with a pair that meet at their edges. I know I want it taller, so that means additions, and then editing. But that is the process. The cold is hard to take in the 'away' studio, and I've got a workshop in the home studio, so this will have to wait for me till we warm up.
