Almost Finished

The commission piece for Athens Hillel is nearing its completion. Backing and edging is put on and I over-quilted in a grid formation using a holographic gold thread that just sparkles. Who needs to spend hours sewing beads when there are such wonderful threads to be used!? (Well, me, but hey, sometimes fast is good too ) Next up the buildings and the quote. Yay!

Hello

It's been a very loooong time since anyone posted. The photos are the Lancaster Festival Artwalk show in July at the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce. The fiber pieces are my artwork and the watercolors are Donna Noice's.

I am currently working on pushing my quilts off the 2D surface. It's been a very interesting journey. Wish I could be at the meeting but will be in Chicago for a long weekend assisting a friend.

Hi all! Thought I would share the group photo from the Athens Show.

What a good looking group! Only missing Andi and Lynda.....

Andi,
It is always great to see your new work, which is always amazing! You go girl!

My Half Day Off

Well, I do take Saturdays, as a rule, but Thursday I allowed myself a good half day of school's out as all of May's goals had been met and I needed a break before starting the summer run. (Several deadlines at the end of August and the Lark project is due August 3). Here's a teaser of what's going on. The one thing I don't like about machine embroidery is that it is so much fun that I want to do more of it. Which will just need to be worked into the other projects. :) There are two more images at my flickr.

Fun at SAQA

I had a wonderful time at the Studio Art Quilt Associates annual meeting last weekend. Diane and I enjoyed Andi's various shows around A-town too. Here we are at Brews. Nice work Andi!

Can't wait to see our show at the library. Thanks for the sneak peak,Linda.

Library Show Looks Awesome

After madly working specifically to finish this piece for the library show (two full 8 hour days in a 90F + studio w/o AC) I am happy it was hung and that the whole show looks so totally awesome. So far everyone has gushed about it, and our article in the Messenger was nice. Y'all come on down and see (Athens Public Library 30 Home Street, Athens OH)
