White Deer Quilt, finished embroidery and border

Monday, February 4th, 2008

Since I last wrote about this quilt I have finished all the embroidery, and appliqued the image onto a green background. I appliqued the deer image onto the background fabric just like I appliqued all the small fabric shapes and the deer. Notice that the wavy edge around the deer is on purpose.  It also looks kind of weird because of my camera angle.  I finished the edge with the maid’s hair stitch.    I had originally planned for a bright red border, but then I discovered this acid green.  I think it makes the image pop.

Farewell to my Children

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Well, it’s time to say farewell to my Children, ie my artwork.   20 oil paintings have left my studio and are heading to Galleri Urbane in Marfa, Tx.  Now it’s time for, at the very least, a day or two of relaxation. 

If you wish to see artwork for my upcoming show, click the category “oil paintings”.
