It is not opposites, but...

Hi everyone,
Once again, I have missed a challenge. Just seem to be focusing on getting some special pieces done this month.
I thought I would share this piece which I finished a week or so ago. I am particularly pleased with how it turned out.
It is based on a quote I read in an annual report of the foundation of  author Greg Mortensen (Three Cups of Tea). The quote is "When it is dark, you can see the stars." I used thread painting and beading. (I have been doing an online workshop in beading these past weeks.) It is a foot square in size.

Hope you like it.

Rediscovery

Hi everyone,
I joined this group back on October 20 and then somehow got lost. I just rediscovered everyone and am so happy to be back. I will be posting more in the future. I have another trip next week but after that I hope to settle in and sew for all of February. Will be delighted to share my explorations and ask all of you for feedback. Maybe I can also post something for sale.
Happy New Year!

Another Judy Joins the Group

Hi! I live in upstate New York and began this phase in my quilting life about seven years ago. (I handquilted a piece for our queen size bed about twenty-five years ago and swore never again!) I have been involved in fiber arts in one way or another most of my life. This is definitely the first time I have accepted the title of artist. You can find more about me and a gallery of my work on my website. I also have a blog, Explorations in Quilting and Life, that I am really enjoying maintaining.

I am a member of SAQA and the Genesee Valley Quilt Club. It was through the Visioning Project of SAQA that I really began to develop as a fabric artist. My greatest accomplishment to date was having one of my quilts accepted into the No Place to Call Home exhibit of SAQA.

Art quilts are really my latest means of expressing myself in this world. I have done many things in my lifetime and volunteered in many capacities in various organizations. I find it fascinating that, diverse as these activities are, in many ways, they all tie together. These days I find I am finding more and more time in my days to create quilts and I am totally enjoying being part of the greater world quilting community.

I am really looking forward to participating in this blog in the coming months. Thanks for inviting me!
