Black Friday at the Studio

Delightful and productive afternoon of work and companionship at the studio today. Enjoyed spending time with a friend and then working on my quilt. Here a shot of where the piece stands as of this evening. For an enlargement.....click on the image.

New work in process

It's tentatively called "Demarcation" and it may seem like I haven't done much since, but believe me I've done a lot since November 3rd.

Latest Work in Process

These are a few pics I took of my latest piece called "Demarcation".

I am trying out re-visit some of the techniques I've used in earlier work. This is a flip and sew method....I think I want to create a more patchwork like surface.....at least for now.

I've started the process of sew down some of the fabric -- by machine and by hand:

Compositional Conversations

Late last week I it was my turn to contribute to a project I wrote about a few months ago. Compositional Conversational is a group project spearheaded by Terry Jarrard-Dimond a fellow artist.

The participating artists include:

Rebecca Howdeshell, Beth Carney, Shelley Baird, Gayle Vickery Pritchard , Judi Hurwitt, Leslie Bixel, Fulvia Luciano, Marcia DeCamp, Marina Kamenskaya, Paula Swett, Valerie Goodwin, Kathy Loomis, Leslie Riley, and Terry Jarrard-Dimond.

I have to admit that this was very difficult.......I had never really been worked on a design created by several artists. However I gave it my best shot. Perhaps you'll want to check out our work at:
