September 2007 4 Quilts

Losing My Marbles is self explanatory. They are jumping out of my head and running away...

I made this quilt, called "Ricky Inspired," after attending a Ricky Tims seminar in September 2007. It is my own miniature impression and is made from a digital painting that I made and printed on fabric, cut into strips and machine quilted.

This quilt, "Turning Leaves" started with a piece of my own hand dyed fabric. In addition, I painted and sponged it with acrylics in autumn colors. Tree trunks, rocks and stream are painted Tyvek.

This started as a piece of solid black fabric. I painted and stamped it using several kinds of paint to make it look like a crowded pond.

August 2007 (4 quilts) All approx. 9 x 12 inches

I guess with this one I was reverting to the kind of landscape / seascape that I have always liked to make.

What can I say? I JUST DON'T LIKE TO IRON! I printed the drawing and lettering on fabric. The iron shape is painted Tyvek, melted with the (dreaded) iron and sewn on..

This is an ode to a toad friend of ours who lived in our garden shed for several summers and dined on the crickets there. This year, developers came to clear nearby property and their machinery disrupted 'Mr. Toad's' route to the riverside that he always visited in Spring. We fear that he perished. We miss him.
