special exhibits

This is Deb's quilt. 

It's part of a Round Robin Special Exhibit in the 

Thimble Pleasures Quild Guild Show

March 24 and 25

 A Round Robin is a project started by one artist and is then passed to others in a group.

Each member adds an element.  Deb made the center block and other members added the outside borders.

The guild show will display several Round Robin works along with traditional and art quilts.

This is one of the fun projects on my work table.

  It's a hand painted mini art quilt.

 It's still in the beginning stages and nothing is finished about it, not even the brown background. 

I know I want brown, but not that one.

The Guild I belong to has it's quilt show in March. (check here)  We host a little silent auction of member's work.  This piece will be in the auction.

I've been looking at some of my photos and drawing out leaf and flower shapes into my sketch pad.  Then I transfer the shape over to cloth using my chalk pencil.  The cloth is doubled and stuck together with Misty Fuse.  The elements are cut out after painting and will remain raw edged.  

Dimension and quilting will be added at the end.

I know, I know - the pictures are blurry -
(in a hurry to get the post up before the weekend)
I was using the natural light from the window and here in New England today, we have big puffy clouds overhead  ... Every time I went to shoot, a cloud moved over.
Have a nice weekend!
 Happy quilting!
