My irrigation circles are almost finished. Today, I worked on the edges for the silk circles. I cut one inch wide strips of the various fabrics I had used in the quilt top.
I then fused them to the edge of the quilt in random order.
Now I am hand stitching embroidery thread over the binding so that it blends with the hand-stitched top.
Tonight, I did my talk about becoming an artist at an older age for the group at church that is working through the Artist’s Way book. I hope I didn’t blather on too long, but this is something I love to talk about — my passion for what I do. I also bragged a lot about my artsy kids.
Tomorrow is STASH— I’m looking forward to some girl talk while I stitch the binding on my quilt.
Gerrie,
I love this piece, the hand stitched silk is gorgeous. I think it’s great that you are spreading the word about the joy of becoming an artist. I always think of you as living my “someday life” (retired from the day job, working in art, and enjoying your grandchildren.)I don’t always have time to comment or post, but I always appreciate the inspiration. Jen
Looking FABULOUS!!!
Looking great!
I love those pieces, Gerrie. The colors are wonderful. The hand stitching on the silk one is terrific!

I would love to see this one in person! It just speaks to me………oh, uh, did I tell you that my birthday is coming soon? LOL
I cannot get on to Kristin’s blog to save my life. Maybe she will read this and help me out….or perhaps you can give me some pointers? I have the correct address, but for some reason I can’t get through.
Your talk was most inspirational, I’m guessing. They couldn’t have asked a better person to speak….just my humble opinion.

Congratulations on your talk — I bet you were quite inspiring. The crop circles are looking good. I see a bit of Deborah’s influence there. 😉
