It is early on Wednesday morning. My roommate left at 4 am. We both crashed early last night so I am up and posting before breakfast and packing to go home. All of my supplies are packed and will be shipped home by the hotel today.
I can’t believe that I didn’t take photos of my work before I took it down so I tried to get some photos in the room this morning.
Here is work # 1 – and a closeup.
Here is work # 2. It is all silk and very unstable. When I get it home I will fuse it to batting and fuse the elements. Charlotte helped me work out a quilting plan which will tie this all together. Remember this was folded up and is now a wrinkiled mess.
Here is a close-up of the layers in the upper left corner which will be stitched and cut in parts to reveal the different layers.
Here are some other close-ups of elements:
Screenprinted and mono-printed.
Mono-print silk discharge on silk background.

Oh, and here is the delightful Charlotte Yde. That is Steen, her handsome husband in the background.
Look at what I won!! Third place from the teachers for my Aspen Reflections which is owned by Teri Springer. Teri, do I have to give you the ribbon? I’m keeping the $50 check!
The cactus piece won people’s choice. The dog won second place for the teacher’s award.
I leave you with the final dessert du jour.
I’m going home!
Congratulations! It does look beautiful – as does the dessert!
Aha! I think I spy our little “challenge” fabric piece in there. I can’t wait to see these pieces. They look amazing. And we want to hear all your stories, too. Looking forward to getting together with you soon.
Oh well done Gerrie! And the dessert looks wonderful too.
Congratulations, Gerrie! The work you accomplished this week is astounding… you must be so excited to take it all home to quilt. Thanks for sharing your week with us.
Nah…I’ll let you keep the ribbon. I am happy just owning such a beautiful piece!!
Safe travels!
teri
I’m looking forward to seeing some of these beauties up close and personal!
I enjoyed reading your daily updates from AQT, I wish I could have gone.
Congratulations! I know you will use that $50 to good effect. Can’t wait to see your finished piece and suggested quilting!
