Let’s get this out of the way — I lost a quarter of a pound this week. To make it sound better, imagine a stick of butter gone from my butt!!
I think I have finished the latest construction piece. I chopped off some magenta and lime green from the top. This is what it looked like before:
And this is after I trimmed the top.
I am trying to think of a name for this. I see fences. I feel the warmth of summer sunshine. Here is a detail.
Things on my to do list.
- Twelve X Twelve chocolate challenge – due Feb 1
- Aspen quilt for Kristin
- Collage quilt of Japanese textiles — a commission
- Art cloth for the Jane Dunnewold project
Tomorrow is STASH at Beth’s house. Fun with good friends. Now, I am off to watch Project Runway.
Now that Judy mentions it…there is a Caribean vibe going on here.
p.s…although he received 12 delegates, Nevada surprised me in that he didn’t have the popular vote. But if the 2004 election taught me one thing, it was to question what EXACTLY does having the popular vote REALLY mean?!
Amazing how that bit of trimming changed the perspective of the layers … pushing the large red-violet piece to the far background. Before the cut its position was ambiguous.
It does make you feel like spring through sunny windows. Such pretty tinted windows. I think that stick of butter made itself at home with me.
Gerrie,
I feel like I’m lying down in a field looking up at a beautiful blue (and tropical) sky with the sun shining and those magenta lines are contrails….and LOTS of them! Tropical Contrails. There are lots of contrails in that yummy piece of fabric that is underneath the chartreuse in the upper right, and there are more in the lower right piece under your focus piece. This is a gorgeous piece! If I had a million extra bucks hanging around, I’d take it off of your hands as soon as you finished it!

The quilt looks fabulous. I see “tropical” in it.
