Fiber Art Meeting - SAQA AL/AR/LA/MS

We had a very inspirational fiber art meeting in Ridgeland, MS

These ladies finished up their "Twisted Trees with Confetti" projects from our last meeting.

Our challenge this time was "green/sorrow." These are 8X11 inch pieces that will join our blue/bird and yellow/catastrophe pieces for an exhibit.

Show and Tell was also inspirational and informative.
 

 

 

 
   

And then for a program, Judy Momenzadeh shared two techniques for coloring fabric.

SAQA's Trunk G at WAQG

Yesterday I shared SAQA's Trunk G with the West Alabama Quilter's Guild. This is a warm and enthusiastic guild with lots of talent. I enjoyed my time there very much. Thank you, WAQG.

Life and Sailboat IV

Life ...
Paul and Scott work on Scott's drone.

Scott handles the controls.

Gabriel is mixing paint for ...

... his Legal Eagle wings.

Quinten thought it was a privilege for me to help move equipment. He said that I GET to, not have to, pull the combine header. My jaw was tight and I was tense for the whole 8 miles.

My little "Sailboat IV" is part of SAQA's Trunk G on display at the Rosenzweig Art Center in Columbus, MS this month.

Beach Fence -- Fiber Art Quilt

At a recent MS SAQA “pod” meeting we challenged ourselves to use a capital “H” in a small quilt.

I saw lots of different “H’s” in this picture that I took last February in the Outer Banks of NC along the beach.

SAQA Meeting and Painting Fabric

Life ...

At Great Grampa Grabers, these cousins wait for supper to be served.

I enjoyed a SAQA meeting today in Jackson. We showed our "H" Challenge pieces. Can you find an "H" in each piece of fiber art below?

Rhonda demonstrated how to use household latex paint to make beautiful fabric. She tore up a bed sheet and gave each of us a piece to paint.

There are lots of ways to make fabric: stamping, brushing, painting, screen printing, and finding all kinds of household objects to use for texture.

Martha made a beautiful path along the trees at sunset.

We learned lots of different techniques.

Those purple and yellow clouds are outstanding!

I especially liked the bubble wrap  with the orange paint.

Some more pretty fabric.

Now it will be interesting to see how this fabric will be used in a piece of art!
