Back From My Blog Break

Saturday, September 15th, 2012

I have been busy and no time to blog. The lecture and workshop with Elizabeth Barton was fantastic. I recovered from my virus in time to enjoy the 3 days of creativity.

There are not photos to show from the workshop because it was mainly cerebral. I had a great breakthrough for a theme/series I have been thinking about. Elizabeth had us choose a theme, describe it in terms of form vs. content and then write a paragraph about the meaning to you. I came up with several ideas for a series that I have been wanting to do, but felt stymied. More on that in the future.

Today, I have been catching up at home – laundry, shopping, cleaning up the place. We even went to Costco and stocked up on stuff. This afternoon, I worked in the studio and office. I got caught up on 3 x 3s and started printing the signage for the Twelve by Twelve show which gets hung this next week for NW Quilt Expo – Sept 20 -22.

So here are the other 3 x 3s for the week.

Have a great week-end.

Ha!

Tuesday, September 11th, 2012

I did it. I muddles through the day. I did some SDA work. I took Scooter for a walk in the Rhodie Garden and I picked up my CSA veggies.

I also got the quilt show paperwork done and got labels, hangers and bags done for the Rhythm and Hues show. I need to turn everything in tomorrow.

It is the quarterly meeting of Columbia Fiberart Guild tomorrow and our guest speaker is the eloquent Elizabeth Barton. It has been my quest for some time to get her on our program. She is teaching a two day workshop on Thursday and Friday — Working in a Series.

I still don’t have my stuff ready for the workshop – that will have to happen tomorrow afternoon.

A Mixed Day

Monday, September 10th, 2012

I had a busy day. Worked in the studio. Had a lunch meeting with the co-chairs of the Trinity Artists Among Us 2013 event. We had a very productive meeting. It feels good to get started earlier this year. As I was driving home, I started feeling sick. I had an ear ache, swollen glands and headache.

I tried to ignore it, but I think I have one of those dang viruses that gets you now and then. I did manage to get the Dancing Kelp fused together and on the design wall where I could do some finessing.

I still have to add a lot of bubbles to areas that need some life. Here is a detail.

I sewed a sleeve on the Line Dancing quilt which I will submit on Wednesday for Rhythm and Hues. Tomorrow, I only need to do paper work and get my supplies together for the Elizabeth Barton class.

Now, to bed and hope to sleep off the bug.

Not Much to Show

Sunday, September 9th, 2012

It has been one of those Sundays. We are back in the routine of going to church, walking the dog, have lunch, read the paper, and so on.

I did get to the studio for a bit this afternoon to do my 3 x 3 and work on the kelp/water piece. I think I have all the bits laid out. I need to get it fused and clean up my work space. I am less efficient when every thing is a mess.

I picked some more Roma tomatoes from the garden and made a delicious pizza for dinner. I thought I could get some more work done tonight, but I am really tired.

I need to get work ready to turn in for the Rhythm and Hues show and do some paper work for a show in Salem. It is a High fiber Diet show, but they are asking for a lot of paper work from each member. I also need to get ready for the Working in a Series workshop with Elizabeth Barton later this week.

It is good to be busy as I keep reminding myself.

It’s Elemental

Saturday, September 8th, 2012

The High Fiber Diet Show, Elements, debuted today at the Woodburn Art Center. The usual suspects showed up — the artists. I think we had about 3 non artists show up before Mr C and I left to have lunch. The show looks great. Here are some photos that I took.

That is my Motherlode on the left. Next a piece by Karen Miller and then Bonnie Bucknam. The are all earth themed. The last quilt on the right, by Mary Goodson is a water theme.

That is my water quilt in the middle. On the right is a piece done by Mary Arnold. Not sure of the theme. It could be water or earth. The piece on the left is a fire theme by Diane Born.

The balloon quilt is by Diane. That is my air quilt in the middle and on the right is a water quilt by Catherine Beard. That is a beautiful piece.

Two fire quilts – on the left is by Carol Heist. It is really gorgeous. Then my fire quilt with which I am not at all happy. I didn’t take enough time with it. The piece on the right is an earth theme by Elizabeth Bamberger.
