Pathetic Patty Ketchup
In my last post, I said I was going to discard my first pathetic Ketchup Sister into the scrap bag, but...something about her stopped me.. I tried out my new couching foot and gave her some orange yarn here and there, and she got some button earrings. and a fuzzy yarn border. She has apparently angered her hairdresser---how else could you explain that hairdo? Her plastic surgeon didn't do the greatest job on her nose, and what about those excessive collagen injections in her lower lip! You might also notice that Pathetic Patty is even more politically confused than I am because she's wearing buttons from three presidential candidates. (I'm down to only two, myself.) So, although she is still pathetic, she is pressing on in spite of everything. More power to you, PattyGirl!
I am very interested in fiber art. In August, 2007, I joined a new art quilt bee in my local quilt guild. Inspired by my new bee friends and those wonderful books, "Creative Quilting, the Journal Quilt Project," and "The Uncommon Quilter" by Jeanne Williamson, I committed (to myself) to make 4 journal sized quilts each month for one year as a way to explore my own creativity and to encourage myself to play with surface design. I started in August '07 and at the end of July '08, I had completed 48 "journal sized" quilts, and you can see them here on my blog. It was a great experience and my intention was to jump right into another structured self assignment. That was nearly two and a half years ago, and the structured part just didn't happen, but I have continued to play with fabric and art supplies. The Bee is inactive now, and I miss them. I hope that the group will revive when Spring comes. I have recently joined another group, The Fiber Arts Alliance, that originated with the Asheville Quilt Guild, and whose large membership includes some fabulous artists whose work awes and inspires me. I'm excited for 2011.

At least Patty will be ready for...well, St. Patty's Day in a couple of weeks dressed in that outfit!
