Andy and I have been asked if we could provide regular updates of what our brains, hands, and machines are doing in our quilting world. And yes it is almost a 24/7 undertaking that we committed ourselves to just about 5 years ago.
We are learners in this world of quilting and fabric art. We are neither classical nor contemporary, neither do we label ourselves modern or art quilters. We sort of fall in-between and kind of overlap each. Andy and I just like to learn and we like to try different methods and techniques. We like to create our own designs, borrowing from the inspiration and work of others.
We are always learning and ever so grateful to those who share their talent and skills with us.
And here is a quick update. (Check out the links as provided, in some cases.)
Our
Blue Zoo has reached its new home in South Carolina. We will be providing a complete post shortly on
Quilts SB with images and what we did.
The quilting work is progressing on our
Sleep Jezebel. We're trying something different to highlight this abstract mosaic of 14 fabrics.
Starts and stops are the order of the day in the quilting design of our
Equality quilt.
Our
Sea and Sky Quilt and wall hanging, as a part of the
2014 Hoffman Challenge Tour, will be in Sarasota, FL tomorrow at the
Friendship Knot Quilters Guild Meeting. It will then travel up to Moorefield, West Virginia to the
Hardy County Heritage Weekend Quilt Show on September 27-28.
Light Bringer will be on display at the
Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza XXI September 18-21.
Our
Blumish Two is currently on display in
Evolutions at
The Quilt Museum in Golden Colorado.
BW 1950 and
BW 2010, our Betty Whites continues to be a part of the
Notable Women Quilt Initiative.
Three of our quilts -
Warhol's Itch,
I Really Love Lucy, and
EssbeeCon are in North Carolina and will be on display at the forthcoming Splash Quilt Show in Cabarrus County.
Tampa Kaleidoscope is on display at
Keep Me In Stitches on Kennedy Blvd. in South Tampa.
If you're in Clearwater mid-October to just before Thanksgiving, be sure to check out our participation at the
Fiber Expressions presentation. Check back with
Quilts SB for more details soon.
(Thank you KK for creating the postcard.)
And of course Andy and I have a number of projects in progress at our sweat shop. Yes it is
91.4°F
in Tampa.
Good Day,
As some of you have seen, the top of our Sleep Jezebel was completed with a combination of 14 fabrics. We're trying to reproduce, with some of our own artistic license, an abstract and somewhat bit-mapped reproduction of a black and white photograph.
Yes our Sleep Jezebel is pixelated from a photograph. We attempted to break up the image into visible pixels.
