Today I had a very nice lunch with some of my classmates from high school.  Yes, that was a very long time ago, but many of us keep in touch though FB and it was suggested we meet for lunch.  It worked out great but we were sorry some had to work so could not come.  Maybe next time we'll go to lunch on a weekend day.  We might even do this every other month and whomever can go will show up!  It's an idea anyway we'll see how it goes.
I've been doing more rust dyeing and screen printing.  Nothing to post right now, but after I do a little more and take a few pictures, I'll add them to my Blog.  A few of us went over to The Studio in Laconia after lunch to take a look at my and Ronnie's photo exhibit.  Sharon tried out one of the adult hula hoops for sale, yes, I did too but thank goodness no one took my picture.  Great job Sharon!
You can see some of the exhibit behind Sharon, it looks pretty good I think.  Tomorrow night is the Opening and Artist's Reception.  So Ronnie and I will be there to meet people and talk with them about our photographs.  Some of Ronnie's deer antler jewelry is on sale there too!

Bye for now!

The Results: Fiber Art Quilt

I used some of the fabric I recently screen printed, etc. and completed a fiber art quilt that I'm quite pleased with.  I think this will be a series.  I'm calling this one "Leaves 1" so now I go on to "Leaves 2" in the very near future.  So here is the result of my playing with fabric these past weeks.

Playing With Fabric and Paint

Yesterday my good friend, Kathleen came over to "play".  She worked on an unfinished project, a wonderful small art quilt.  She used a photo transfer of her dock at Webster Lake and went on from there with beautiful fabrics.  She finished the piecing and moved on to the machine quilting.  It made me want to make another one with the same process.  I made one a few years ago but maybe it's time to try another.  We'll see.  In the meantime, I enjoyed silk screening and thermofax screen printing with paint on some fabric I had previously dyed and painted.  I have an idea in mind for the fabric and might get to do some sewing tomorrow.  They say it's going to rain! 

I got my Morning Glory seeds planted (Heavenly Blue).  It's a little late but I'm hoping I'll have a few later in the summer.  My vegetable garden is planted, finally!!  We had so much rain, then I went away....it did take some time, but it's in and GROWING.

I have some more rusted fabric hanging on the line and more all wrapped up in rusty things, making magic!





Until next time, stay cool and happy!
