For most of us, Thanksgiving week is all about family, friends, meal preparation, and the warm up to Christmas activities. Meaning, less studio time.
My goal this past weekend (besides watching our Packers trounce the 49ers) was to get a new art quilt started. The decision to feature roses had been made, next task was gathering the fabrics. For the background, a hunk of ice-dyed silk noil called me. Next, I did a deep dive into my hand-dyed greens & reds/pinks.
Quick work was made of fusing a stabilizer to the background fabric and stitching a grid. I'm using rose motifs from my book "The Whole Cloth Garment Stori" published by AQS which will jump start the design process.
Now when I have an hour or two to spare during this busy time, additional motifs can be cut and arranged.....stay tuned to see the piece grow.
