Competitions & Work in Progress

Competitions

I'm happy to tell you that I am now your hostess for the Call for Entry page  at The Needle and Thread Network. Check it out, lots going on.

On that note, got some great news this morning. Our fibre art group The Northern Ontario Fibre Artists' entry “Seven Create” (see at the top right of this page) was juried into The Grand National, Kitchener, ON.

And personally, I had four pieces juried into the 8^th Annual Juried Contemporary Art Exhibition 2015 at the Museum of Northern History, Kirkland Lake.

Quite an exciting couple of days!

Work in Progress

This is what I have been working on and it is getting close to the finish stage.

Just wondering......do any of these blocks ring a bell? It's a few years old.  If yes, write me a note in the comments.

More later!

Happy Quilting,

ART PROMPT # 4 (using any kind of ink)

Birds on Halifax Boardwalk - work in Progress 

work in progress - sandwiched, ready for quilting

Wow! Friday already.

This has been a really busy week and my project is not finished.

The rules are changing already. I don't want to make something just for the sake of making it by using the art prompts.

#1 - I want to enjoy what I do, so the project for one prompt may be the same for 2 or 3 or more weeks, whatever it takes. I will post Work in Progress every Friday until done.

#2 – I can finish a UFO, it doesn't have to be a new project each time.

This week's prompts was using ink and I had this project already painted with Tsukineko inks.

This was a project I started in a class with Pat Blair in 2012.  See here  and here.  

painted during workshop - this was my second project

I finished the ink painting after getting home and it has just been sitting around since.

painted and trimmed

I added a little skinny border in orange and then auditioned more border fabrics.

auditioning for borders - didn't like this (see borders above)

I now have sandwiched it and it's ready for quilting.

This is my original photo. I don't know these birds name. Anyone?

anyone know what these birds are called?????

See you next week,

Work in Progress

This is what I have been working on this week and I hope to finish it today, but I can only show a couple of little peeks as this is for a competition.

This is what I started with:

Mono print, hand dyed, black solid and thread

Sneak peeks: it's a two-part thing!

Here is part 1

Part 1

And part 2

Part 2

If it doesn't get juried in, you will see it sooner than later.

Wish me luck!
