What's New

Well, for me its always, either producing a ton of work, or nothing. I finally recovered from working on all the school/kid related quilts and have had time to work on the quilts that im making for the grant i recieved from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. I hope to have 6 pieces to present to them by the end of the year. So far i have 5 started and i have to start on the key piece this week. The full skeleton. Here are a few of the in progress pieces. I started to quilt the Mary piece.. FINALLY. I really like the look of the gold thread, but tying them off in the back is taking way to long! And sorry to the quilt police, but my quilt backs are NOT pretty. This piece for some reason is VERY HEAVY. and difficult to work with.

The next one is "RED". not yet quilted, im hoping that the quilt work will pull this one out. I like the simplicity.. but it might be too simple.

"Split personality" I just made last night. Im thinking of adding a rib cage to the two heads. lots of painting, i really have been enjoying the process of painting, something that i thought i would never say!

Then next unnamed piece has just the back done. lots of hand dyed commercial fabrics and one piece of fabric done with the shaving cream technique of marbling. (very fun, but very messy). Im looking into adding news print, watches, and old lace on top of this one.

well, folks. there you have it. And thanks to the Massachusetts Cultural Council for the funding of this project.
