Being retired, Monday holidays just confuse my life!!
This 3 x 3 is a hand-dyed silk organza that I folded and hand stitched in place. I don’t think my photo captured the texture of the scrunched organza.
Here is the other 3 x 3 for today.
It is fun to be working with a new color.
Today, I delivered a quilt to the quilt shop in Lake Oswego for the Quilt Expo coming up. All 288 of our 12 x 12 quilts will be on display. One of the coordinators wants Terry and I to do a bit with one of the local (sort of wacky) morning tv guys. He goes out to venues and takes part in some way. The premise is to help him make his own 12 x 12 quilt. Mind you, this will take place early in the morning – like 4 or 5 am.
I spent some time working on my kelp/water piece. I have to figure out how to arrange these and maybe add a little pizzazz.
I need to make a few more blocks, but it is coming along.
We have been glued to the tv since 5 pm when coverage of the DNC convention started. It was an amazing night – as one commentator said — an embarrassment of riches. I enjoyed every speech. As my daughter said on Facebook, these are my people!
We are having a lazy last week-end before the busy fall season of meetings and events start up. Yesterday, we went to Art in the Pearl, the annual festival in downtown Portland. I collected business cards from artists who live in or near Portland so that I can invite them to apply for Artists Among Us.
I took a few photos. This chair was so lovely. It had a footstool with it. The other furniture made by this artist, Victor DiNovi, was exquisite.
This glass artist, Morgan Madison, does some beautiful work. I loved every thing in his booth.
Here is my friend Teresa Rusch, in her both. She dye paints wool yarn and weaves gorgeous scarves and shawls.
I saw these collages and was struck by how similar the elements are to those used by fellow twelve, Deborah Boschart. The artist is Marcy Baker.
We sat down to have a cold drink and saw the top of The Henry, a building with cool condominiums. Mr C said he would like to live in the pent house condo at the top! It is a little out or our price range.
I also liked the canopy of leaves above us.
Here is today’s red-orange 3 x 3.
I also cut some batting and backs for the 3 x 3’s.
Tomorrow, we will have a BBQ with the family. M and M go back to school on Wednesday. I have a full schedule of activities coming up this month. Where did summer go?
