Sorry I'm a day late, but I'm not, NOT, a dollar short.
But, as promised: I've got goodies for you.
Up first, is a pair of blocks created for Thomas Knauer. He asked for makers to create a block using his pattern and fabric choices, and, I jacked up the first block (made it completely opposite of the way it's supposed to be). They're 20" x 20" finished, of cotton solids, which I don't usually work in. It's a visual representation of a coded letter U. I don't know which letter the wrong version is. The top block is incorrect, the bottom one is correct. :)
Next up, I've been working on creating backs for the tops I've been making, but I decided to go ahead and make the backs as tops, so the quilts can be reversed each month (just think: two quilts in one). Soooooo, this is the back for "Self as Peach, Sliced":
It's in the vein of seam-showing minimalism, as are the other two.
Next is the back of "Self as Strawberry":
Finally, I was getting bored with the straight vertical stripe thingy, so here is the back of "Primrose Party":
Next, I was taking the trash out one day and saw these photos by the dumpster and when I got back home, thought, "Hmmm, that'd make a really cool photo," but I was also bummed that someone wanted to throw away those memories. I figure somebody passed away and whomever cleaned up didn't want to keep the photos around (lots of images of an elderly lady and gentleman); so, not only am I preserving (maybe stealing) someone's memories, I'm making something new out of them. I also appreciate how they're soiled, suggesting our own mortality (we're all dirt), the whole dust to dust thing.
Here are a few:
Finally, here are a couple haiku/senryu from the week:
crying at the window with
the cat opening gladiolas
Sunday sunset
empty church parking lot
caw caw caw
Enjoy creating!
For now,
M
