Start the Music

Installed my work at the Little Theater Cafe today. This Rochester theater house has a place for music, food, and walls filled with art. I've taken on July (till the 27th) and the reception is July 8 from 2-4. Cheese is on me!

Getting Ready for July

The Little Theater here in Rochester has a cafe that holds tables of people who catch a bite, grab a wine or coffee, or hang out to hear some great music. And it has a few walls for art shows.  And I'm Miss July. Stay tuned.

Under the Full Moon

Somewhere above was the full moon, but I became more interested in what was illuminated down here on the ground. Or, let's say, in the canopy. Gotta find out what this fuzzy tree is called.

My Life is (Sometimes) Dull

It's ironing day. A stack of just dried yards is getting spritzed. Then folded up and stuck in a large plastic bag to get all humid. Then it's iron on the big board. In front of the big telly. Total dull.

On the Print Table

I'm back at printing, and experimenting in  methods and distractions along the way. Gearing up for selling these at Quilting By the Lake in July. My goal is another 100 yard pieces.

On the Wall

I've finished the last Take Two for a while. I've not got a good name for this, so will have to let it hang around on the wall for now till inspiration hits. Is is made of just two, but the majority is that liberal and fun whole piece.

Around and About

My tenth in the Take Two series is under the quilting needle. With far too  many thread color changes, and lots of tightly spaced lines, this one is heavily quilted. I know the next work will be a reaction to this much stitch and I'll do a looser quilt. Less around, more about.

More Formal Portrait

Here is a more proper version of the last in the Take Two series. I'd like to call it "Dialogue". And you can write reams on that subject! I've started to quilt the next one, so stay tuned.

New and On the Wall

Another Take Two is finished and hung up. This uses about 90 per cent of one fabric, with the addition of another to frame it left and right. Now I've got to add my signature and date, then throw it in the pile for next week's show at the Little Cafe.

Happy Solstice

It was "Make Music Day" in Rochester, so I did. I joined the Golden Link Folksinging society next door to Rochester Contemporary Art Gallery and helped to compete with the loudspeaker across the street. We all had fun.

Finishing to Start

My travels are ending or a while, so it's time to finish the work I'd left. I was asked once how to start new work. I think it's best to not end. To have something waiting for you, so you can take up where you left off, instead of starting new.
