Life has been hectic in the past two months. I've taken two great workshops:
Potpourri II with
Nancy Crow at the Crow Barn and
The New Complex Cloth with
Jane Dunnewold at
Art Quilt Tahoe. Seen two great international juried fiber arts shows. Maybe I'll catch up and post about these. Maybe not.
For now I'm happily engaged in a new project. Started with the golden pieces from the workshop:
 |
| modules from Potpourri II |
and made more with some in other colors.
 |
| more modules, more colors |
Re-arranged the jumbled mess,
 |
| more cohesive but flat |
auditioned more colors,
 |
| looking livelier |
resulting in a small half-way decent composition.
 |
| a 36x36 composition |
Added red, and made more to make it bigger,
 |
| a 42x53 composition |
but not necessarily better. Why the heck is that?! Needs more work!
It's not too big yet big enough to become my entry for the
EBHQ quilt guild show,
Voices in Cloth, coming up in March.
Gotta be big enough to hang around all those big traditional quilts.
Glad to see you're back! Love those Potpourri units--they are going to make a stunner. And I like the small composition too. We would enjoy hearing about Jane's class; I've always wanted to take a workshop with her. You've been busy!
