STUDIO WORK cont.

working on the landscape series- the piece: two weeks in august is off the quilting frame and will get a binding.

procrastination is coming in around the edges as I gather the forces needed to attempt the whole clothe "Posted" sign quilt that will function as the centerpiece of the series.

Other new projects creeping in too.

Learning to quilt

I've always had questions about how quilting gets propagated.

Maybe the third biennial symposium at the international Quilt Study Center will help




















Education and the Quiltmaker is the subtitle.

If it does not answer everything then at least I'll get a chance to meet
Jean Ray Laury who will be speaking the first evening.

the symposium starts March 1, 2007.

Local Color

This sign hangs as the ubiquitous decoration on the roadsides in the neighborhood. No view is complete without one. And what quilted landscape series would be complete without a whole clothe quilt in this design.

Large enough for a bed- scaled to exact specifications. 7 x the original.
