This is Word #1. It is a painted wholecloth with some piecing added to the right side. I shared a detail of it in an earlier post. It measures 14x16. I am displaying it pinned to a scrumptously beautiful scarf that my sister knit for me, thrown over my sewing room door. This door is never closed - so the scarf is safely on display also this way! as it is definitely NOT being used in our 100+ degree weather here in southwest Tennessee!
This is Word #26. Only 26 more to go for 2009. Actually, thats not quite true as I have missed a few weeks - so I am playing catchup. This one is made using cutoffs from a block I made for my sister in our May 4sister blockswap, inspired by Joen Wolfram work - I arranged my blues in order by value. For this piece, I had to add a beautiful dark purple and an almost orange batik to the turquoise blues. This piece measures 8-1/2x9.
This is Word #22. The pears are painted with inks - then I played some with the quilting. It measures 15x11 and has become my placemat.
This is Word # 20. It measures 7x10. The verse A merry heart does good like a medicine. Proverbs 17:22 had two weeks of pondering to it - so it was used on #19 below also.
This is Word #19 - size 7x13. The little yellow 'things' attached to the orange strip are the plastic centers from the white silk flowers used in Word #26 above.
