I know you want to see the pretty pictures, but I have to tell you the good news. We have another couple interested in our house!! Let the bidding begin. Tomorrow, the first couple comes for a look see. I’m not sure when the other two will show up – soon I hope. Keeping a clean studio is very difficult for me.
Today was the art group critique – actually, show and tell. I don’t think we do enough critiquing; probably because the group has gotten a little large.
First of all, those of us who made postcards for the raffle quilt showed those. They look great together and I think we can come up with something cool.
Here is some of the treat we saw:
This is Jeanie Becker’s Kimonos. The photo does not do it justice because it is encrusted with Swarovsky crystals.
Marjorie, who is one of our most gifted artist showed these three gems. The first one was done in a Charlotte Yde class. It is so fabulous. The surface design on this is just luscious.
This quilt is a play on the Shoo Fly traditional block; it is fused, however.
A value study.
Cathy was in Sue Benner’s class with me at Art Quilt Tahoe. She has done a better job than I of finishing her work!!
Landscape:
Fused curved piecing.
That’s all folks. Hope you enjoyed the show.
It is always so much fun to see what quilters are doing. Love the pics… thank you.
Thanks for the show Gerrie. They all are great pieces. The postcards turned out great. And I have to agree with the others that Cathy’s leftover frames is a more interesting piece. Good luck with selling your house. Our first house sold in three days to the first buyer.
wow…all the work is amazing. i loved seeing all of it. thank you for showing!!
Your postcards all look great together! Can’t wait to see what comes of that project!
I like Cathy’s “leftover” frames project better than the first one!
Gerrie,
Thanks for the wonderful show. Are there going to be more “postcards” made from the full guild? Or are the 8 here the basis for the quilt? They are wonderful…
Gerrie, a wonderful “show” as always. As much as I love my quilting friends, it makes me wish I had an art group too. (well, I mean besides online).
Thanks for taking such nice photos and sharing them. They are always an inspiration. Jen
Thanks for the quilt show! I really like the post cards….
& Leftover frames is tres chic – what a way to use leftovers…. I like it better than the primary project…..
What fun! Don’t you come home totally jazzed and inspired after getherings like this?
Thanks, Gerrie…your group is amazing. I love all the quilts AND the postcards!
Love the show! Cathy’s landscape turned out super. I am homesick for Northern California too, looking at all the purples and golds in your group’s postcards. I wish you the best of luck with the house hunters. Fingers crossed for a good bidding war!
