I signed up for Textile Artist Org's "Stitch Camp", a free 5 day online course to make an art piece. I downloaded the material list, some of which I have in my studio. I downloaded day one, and day two and decided it was not for me. I don't feel the need to paint fabric, cut it up, and use it for a base for stitching upon. Don't get me wrong - the visual presentation and organization was done quite well. It's just not me.
If I'm already going to do something, I think I will make some more paper, perhaps will a little less colour in it and see if I can make something from the paper pieces I have already made.
Carmit gave a wonderful presentation yesterday at the POM L&S meeting. I don't generally have white or off-white scrap strips, but her demonstration of string quilting with one half (triangle) light and the second coloured was eye-opening as far as design possibilities go. Yashar koach, Carmit!
I worked a little on TTP quilt back 2, using moire fabric from Penina's bridesmaid dresses. I think I'm out of fancy fabrics - I don't want to use wedding gown fabrics for it. So I'll probably use the batik I bought when Carmit last visited.
Did I mention she's coming in March?? Yay!!
