First Friday

Saturday, November 7th, 2015

Yesterday was First Friday and I worked at The Topeka Art Guild Gallery til it closed at 8 pm. The current show is the annual judged competition with a Kansas theme which has been up for a month, with another month to go. My entry “After The Storm” which had already been awarded first place, also received People’s Choice last night! Always fun when quilted art is recognized  amidst the expected fine art offerings.

Since finishing my Figure Drawing homework,

I have been able to get back to quilting on the Heron and it is progressing very nicely. I must be about half way done and hope to do a lot more today.

New Leaves Sample Sold

Wednesday, October 28th, 2015

One of the pattern sample quilts sold recently and I received this photo of it hanging in it’s new home. It’s always fun to see where they end up. I think quilts add a warmth to a space that traditional framed art can’t quite do. Now that I am not traveling to do quilt talks, most of the sample quilts are for sale in the patterns section of my website at discounted prices.

I have quite a lot of quilting done on the Heron but have set it aside to work on Figure Drawing homework. One long term drawing of a nude reclining woman is due Nov 17; it is worked from a photo in black and white charcoal on gray drawing paper. We each chose a different photo so it will be fun to see what everyone did when they are revealed.
