Painting a Quilt

Beginning is half done, right? Here is the start of a new project. It's my mental trip to the beach.

Dry Spell

I am in a creative dry spell. I had begun to sketch a new quilt and then put it all away. I have done nothing since. The cure for a dry spell is action. Hopefully I'll take some soon.

Miami #2

This is the completed piece using paint, sheeer fabrics, Lutrador and thread. Experiment completed!

Great Day at Lowell Quilt Festival

Saturday, August 13 was the final day at the Lowell Quilt Festival. I enjoyed visiting Images at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium, where my special exhibit of 14 painted quilts, was hung. It is always wonderful to watch people look at the work you have created. When they stand and chuckle or lean in to really look at details that you have stitched into the cloth, it's nice to know that there is interest in the work which you love to do.

My husband also enjoys his, "fame," as he stands in front of Morning Ride, which pictures him and our daughter on horse back. This will always be my favorite quilt.

Playing With Sheers, Paint and Lutrador

I am working on another landscape, in fact another skyline of Miami. I decided to play with sheeers, paints and lutrador. I have never played with lutrador before, so this one is an experiment. Here is a photo of the quilt in process.

Note that there is a change in my email address. I had a challenge getting into my blog, but as usual, friends on the quiltart list have the answers to my questions! Thanks!

Miami Skyline 1 Finished

It's hot in New England, but there is a wonderful breeze blowing. I just finished the binding on this quilt. Some of you commented on the painted surface and wondered what it would look like quilted? Here it is.

I have another one of Miami in process, with a completely different look.

Comments welcome.
