I mentioned
my design wall last post so I thought I’d share what’s been up there lately
besides the redwork quilt. It gets changed frequently depending on my mood and
what I’m doing. I love having a design wall. I really don’t know how I managed
without one for so long.
Towards the
end of last year I decided it was time for me to try my hand at something I’ve
always wanted to do. Art Quilting. I’ve bought the magazines and books,
followed art quilters online and heard a view live programs. I dabbled a little
over the years starting with this piece created to celebrate my hometown’s 100th
birthday.
Then I made a small island scene and a dancer.
All three were wall
hangings. I started another island scene. It’s on my UFO list.
Then this
month I attended a program by art quilter Deborah Boschert at my guild meeting.
The next day I attended her workshop. So from that start these are now on my
wall as I consider what stitching I want to do on them.
The first one Winter
Sunrise was inspired by photos shown on Facebook by a resident of Mobridge,
S.D. I did that one in class. The next day I started putting together one for
my series called “Look what Rose did – she colored everything yellow”.
What’s on
your wall? Or table. Or floor.
Happy
creating!
Rose
