I toned down the polyester thread in the background with pink highlight markers.

Before applying the highlight markers.

Thread is showing too light.

Too much light thread.

Cypress, Willows, and Dandelion

I'm part of the group Southern Fiber Artists. Within that group there are ten of us Sharing Fiber Art. We each make an 8"x10" piece of art for each person in the Shared Fiber Art group. So, I've been making and receiving pieces of fiber art.  Here are some of my finished works that I need to pass out to fellow artists.

Willow VI -- Murky

8" X 10"

Detail

Patches ironed onto the background.

I pulled fabric for auditioning a silhouette.

After consideration, I chose the very dark brown solid fabric for my silhouette.

I tweaked the willow and ironed it down to the quilted background and then free motion stitched it for the final piece.

Patches Workshop

I recently had a "Patches" workhop in our home. These ladies came from Alabama, Mississippi, and as far away as Kentucky. We had a delightful time together.

They worked hard to get their pieces quilted before leaving.

Fiber Art -- Weeping Willows

I'm again participating the the SAQA Benefit Auction. My piece "Willow V" will be up for bid Sept. 14 - 23, 2018.
