Stitching

 I did some mindless stitching today.

Took a piece of discharge fabric and

stitched logs. Than I worked on the

African piece. Too busy. Need to

chop down and add some solid color

borders. Maybe cream burlap

Still fighting the cortisone shots.

Not feeling too creative.

Have a nice peaceful week-end.

Studio clean up

 Sorry I took a couple of days off.

The steroids shots to my knees made me feel bad

for 3 days. I sketched out an idea for a new quilt

My neighbors wood pile behind the fence. I

will be expanding this for a SAQA entry.

Remember the fabric I thought I did not have

any more. Well I cleaned the studio and found

another yard. I am putting the big quilt to the

side for 3 weeks while I get some deadlines met.

So today I decided to clean up a bit before

starting a new project. Happy surprise.

 This is where I am now.

I will go back to it later.

I  have until the end of October to finish it.

Meanwhile I want to enter some of the International

Quilt  Show categories and also one for SAQA.

Well now with a clean studio I can think again.

Amazing how it gets to a point of being too messy.

 

Sun and shadows

 The sun makes such pretty patterns on the snow.

Delicate tracings of the branches

blue grey on the snow.

 Today I fused leaves on branches all day.

It seems to take hundreds of leaves per tree.

 This last photo of an icicle is unique.

A sideways icicle.

Thoughts about spring

There must be an end to winter sometime.

At least by March 15th.

My thoughts have turned to birds, branches and leaves.

I am going to do a larger version of the bird

on a branch for some show this year.

I will take a break from the big quilt to make

something for SAQA.

I am thinking of log piles or wood grains.

Today I go off to the knee Doc for another shot.

So I will disappear for 24 hours until the

swelling goes down.

Than I am good for another 3 months.

Adios.

Why didn't I think of that.

One of the members of  the Art Quilt site sent me a E-mail .

Scan it and print it on your printer.

Duh!

Simple solution to my problem.

I have a scanner and a large format printer,

I even have some pre coated fabric from Darhma.

What a brilliant idea.

I will act on that today.

Off to the studio to continue the project.
