I sold two small pieces at the opening reception of my show at Art City in Hamilton. Here are pics of the two pieces. They were both small but lovely little works and I will miss them, as I do many of my quilts when they go!
Nature's Palette I:
In The Pines - Detail of Thread-painted branches/needles:
In The Pines - The pine branches on the bottom and right are threadpainted over a stamped image and the one on the left (in the detail above) were created free-hand.
In April the Art City Gallery had a "Recycled Art Show" and in the spirit of recycling our project for the Tarts class was to use plastic shopping bags to create a sort of "fabric". You layer 3-5 layers of plastic bags and fuse them together with your iron between two applique pressing sheets. Then they can be cut up and used however you like and there were quite a number of unique uses. I just used mine as fabric and then chose complimentary fabrics and found items to create three fiber art pieces. The embellishments and most of the fabric are all things that were given to me or found or from past projects.
Refuse II: Rescue
Refuse I: Transformation
Refuse III: Gathering
If I don't get back in my studio to create some new pieces, these may be in one of my next two shows!

We were finally in Hamilton long enough to hit Art City on an open day....your show is wonderful! I particularly appreciated your dimensional piece, "Jewel of the Forest"...as always, dynamic use of color and great quilting and bead placement. Enjoyed all the pieces...Judy and Larye
