Labor day weekend was busy..family stuff, and a bit of consumer-ism. First though I finished the little black quilt…started with a piece of Cynthia’s and ending with advice from Gwen Marston to cut it into squares…which I did. Add another one to the growing pile: We bought a little electric grill for our patio (only […]

The Last Day at Project Space…
PHEW. Finished up today and removed the mess and most of the stuff leaving only the following: the former double wedding ring and a detail of same and the collages neatly installed in a book for easy viewing
A Beautiful Sunday at the Beach
One of those gorgeous sunny days which included chores positioning Karen’s chair to hold up the fuschias a bike ride around Cutler City with a stop at the end of Fleet for a bay view discovery of a job I wouldn’t want to have (and I’m not kidding…the sticker really was on one little tomato…) […]
What Pleases Our Eyes
Working on the wedding ring “dismantling” this morning has put me in touch with everything China said about cut and sew-cut and sew, and also the more over-reaching aspect of making any kind of art work. How do we know what color to use, which fabric to choose, when a painting or collage or quilt […]
Project Space…8-19-10
Paula and I worked for quite a while today…she preparing for a show, me just keeping on. She’s finding the large walls and open spaces in PS3 to be a tonic: I started the day thinking I’d make collages, but instead went straight to reassembling the double wedding ring:
BRRRRR…
Which seems like a silly thing to say in mid-August. Escaping the heat in the valley was successful, but now we’re wearing three sweaters and shivering. Our bike ride after dinner through the quiet streets revealed one basketball player, and a deer. The bay was beautiful this evening after a day of hard work back […]
The Collaboration Quilt…
Kay’s been working on the collaboration quilt and now I’m taking it to the beach for a few days to work on it. Our deadline is approaching, but I think we’ll make it!
The State of Oregon quilt…
I’m interested in an Indian form of quilting called “kantha” practiced by Bengali women(“urban and rural” so the internet says.) It began as a way to make quilts from old fabrics…layers and layers stitched together for reuse. The fabrics would be spread on the ground, smoothed and loosely sewn together. Then the women could carry […]
HAND QUILTING…
After watering the white garden this morning, I was sitting on the deck quilting away on the State of Oregon quilt and musing about why I like hand quilting so much. I got out the first quilt I hand quilted and looked at it remembering that as I started, I didn’t know any of the […]
The Alligator Quilt
I took the collaboration quilt over to Kay’s today so she can work on it for a while, and got to see the alligator quilt in process…looking good
