Life and Quilts

Life …

I enjoyed lunch with quite a few of our church ladies at a local Mexican restaurant celebrating Chrystal’s 40th birthday.

One day I visited Ashton’s kindergarten class.

Miss Claudia keeps the children’s attention.

… as a Quilter

I am thrilled that my piece “A Glimpse Through the Lattice”

A Glimpse Through the Lattice X 1800

… has been chosen to be included in the “Southern Accents” exhibit in Melbourne, FL at the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts.

Paul and I recently had a trip to Florida for the Son Light Missions board meeting.
Caleb Stauffer retired after serving on the board for many years.

Then we too like to take in the FL Haiti Benefit Auction. I especially like to check out the quilts.

Art Quilt -- A Glimpse Through the Lattice

Life …

… as a Quilter

I continue to work on this quilt. The ‘rocking chair’ idea is still brewing in my mind. Surely I could add it in some sort of way. So, I took a picture …

… and printed it out. Then I glued black netting over it and cut it out.

The black netting laid over cardboard.

The black netting over the quilt. It showed up more from an angle. When you looked at it straight on you could hardly see the chair.

The chair cut from the background fabric of batik.

The chair from black Kona cotton.

And a smaller chair from a gray/blue fabric with stitching. Too much stitching on the left side.

So, I cut another armrest, leg, rocker, and a few rungs to fuse over the overly stitched pieces.

There, that’s much better.

Come … rest and relax with a glimpse through the lattice!
