Quilt, plus




My title is deceiving, you might think it is a plus size quilt, actually it measures 3ft by 18 in.


The loons are on a necktie, the necktie was taken apart which explains the extra width. The face was painted on fabric, I used a recycled dress and other bits of fabric that were new and some ribbon. I search for neckties all the time, some have some nice abstract designs that work well in art quilts. I think the face is a little loon like, and she has taken great effort to dress for the occasion. I see the lighting was different for the full quilt photo. The parts, not the whole is accurate.

A Quilt Today


Thank you for coming buy to visit, Kris, Ro, Jean and Nora. So much appreciated.


It has been a day of problem solving, satellite radio, (bad Antennea) Trying to find out why

our dial up is such a slow speed. (Phone Co person has not come out) Selecting a digital camera I can understand. I still have the soft ware to install for that. so more problems tomorrow. I hate doing things that make me feel inadaquate. When you get older you have to work harder to

speak with some knowledge and vocabulary so people don't think your failing. You can't use words like Doo Dad, Thing Ama Jig, or gizmo in electronic stores. The clerk can say thingy but I can't. I always hear Forest Gump Saying........you're not a smart woman. I know he didn't say that exactly but, I hear that


No painting today and just a tiny bit of sewing and some decisionmaking about a quilt. This is a quilt I made two weeks ago, a painted face on a gauze fabric, a lot of sheer curtain used also as I recycle fabrics. This sheerness explains the side of her face you do not see as well. I used 8 different fabrics and zig zaged them all even the binding. I cannot work on something for long as I get sick of it, and may not finish. Tomorrow I will show a quilt that sat for 3 years in an ugly state of not knowing what to do with it. It took me a day to get it in some sort of presentable shape. I played around with art quilting years ago. didn't quite understand the freedom of doing whatever you please if it pleases you.
