Spring in Progress

 

 

I started with a background color that reflects my blue mood as I am submerged in grief.        

Merill Comeau ‘s Challenge asked us to self reflect and pick text to create our work.

Spring means new growth and hope to me. I appliqued and paper pieced flowers and flourishes and embellished with beads, trims and hand embroidered the rain and flowers

 

 

Combined 3 challenges in one.

TextileArtist.org Community Stitch Merill Comeau Challenge 2021: use text

Needlework and Textile Guild of Michigan challenge #7: Hurry Spring

Greater Ann Arbor Quilt Guild Challenges to Connect: April Showers Bring May Flowers

Four Seasons, Artist Fiber Book Collective

 

We are creating pages for the Artist Fiber Book Collective. Made this page for Pat who chose a Seasons theme for her book.

Cottons, opalescent fabrics, net, beads, sequins

Paper Cloth Flower

 

Combined great ideas from two workshops to create this paper quilt. Loved Sue Stone's video on composition and border colors and Margarita Korioth's techniques for creating paper-cloth.

Magazine text, cheesecloth, net, tissue paper, paint, yarn, hand embroidery on a Shapeflex interfacing base

My Inner Child

 

My inner child now lives life vicariously though the eyes of my grandkids. Their endless energy and enthusiasm keeps me vibrant and young!

The final Project quilting challenge, Ab intra, asked us to look within.

A Crazy Time …Enjoy The Show!
