Mom Star for San Bruno

Mom's Star for San Bruno
Mom's Star for San Bruno

The good thing about being off of work for a few days is that I can post things as they occur rather than waiting until I have a spare minute. Mom made this star for the San Bruno quilt this week and I think it will go very well with the others.

All star blocks are welcome!

Block background: dark blue
Block design: Yellow star (any pattern)
block size: 8? or less (we will work with any size)
Remember to sign your block!

Deadline: TBA

Creative Prompt #99: Wicked

I thought about skipping this week, but realized if I put up a prompt this week and next week, we will have made it to 100. Have you done all 100? Also, I couldn’t get today’s word out of my mind. Not sure except perhaps I would like to act a little bit wicked today, since I have been so exceptionally good? Hhmm.

Post the direct URL (link) where your drawing, doodle, artwork is posted (e.g. your blog, Flickr) in the comments area of this post. I would really like to keep all the artwork together and provide a way for others to see your work and/or your blog.

“Wicked problem” is a phrase originally used in social planning to describe a problem that is difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements that are often difficult to recognize. Moreover, because of complex interdependencies, the effort to solve one aspect of a wicked problem may reveal or create other problems. (Wikipedia)

Gregory Maguire

Definition from Merriam-Webster: 1: morally very bad : evil ; 2 a : fierce, vicious <a wicked dog> b : disposed to or marked by mischief : roguish <does wicked impersonations> ; 3 a : disgustingly unpleasant : vile <a wicked odor> b : causing or likely to cause harm, distress, or trouble <a wicked storm> ; 4: going beyond reasonable or predictable limits : of exceptional quality or degree <throws a wicked fastball> ; — wick·ed·ly adverb

that was a wicked thing to do!

I received these blocks from SherriD yesterday. Aren’t they great? I love the combinations of goldy-yellows and blues she chose for the blocks. They glow.

Sherri told me that she tried a new technique to make the blocks, which is a great idea. It is nice to not have to commit to an entire quilt if you want to try something new.

If you would like to make blocks, too, here are the parameters:

Bron's Stars
Bron's Stars

I mentioned that I went to a party on Sunday. Bron, a CQFAer was kind enough to give me two star blocks for the project. Bron is originally from New Zealand and is the leader of our little band. She keeps us on track at meetings. I was fortunate enough to see some of her work last Sunday. She does beautiful NZ imagery.

If you would like to make a block (or blocks), here are the parameters. All blocks are welcome!

Stars for San Bruno

On September 10, 2010 a gas line exploded and leveled a neighborhood near where we live. It was big news at the time, but the world has moved on. In that neighborhood lived our cousin. His house was not destroyed, but was severely damaged. Also, the Young Man’s school friend lived there. His house was destroyed and he and his father ran for their lives.

Barsha's Star
Barsha's Star

My mom put out a call for blocks that we can make into quilts for these families and we received our first block today. One is promised and one is in the mail.

Barsha taught sewing in a local county for years before she retired. She is a gifted seamstress and I go to her when I need new pants. 😉 I first met her through a local guild. She is also a gifted quiltmaker, teacher and wearables artist. She has a wonderful, light studio and knows how to use a serger.

Thanks, Barsha!

Would you like to help? The parameters are:

Block backround: dark blue

I spent several hours having a test at one of the labs at the hospital on Friday. It wasn’t invasive or painful, so I spent time reading, drawing, writing in my journal and staring at the wall.

I spent the time doing this Creative Prompt response. I am really happy to have gotten it done so quickly. Check out the original prompt.

CPP Response #93: Twinkle

I know! I know! Thanksgiving isn’t even here and I have a response that includes Christmas. I am sorry! Really I am! I promise to honor Thanksgiving suitably next week. I have a different project where this will come in handy and the prompt lent itself to the response.

I am still liking the view out the window.

CPP Response #92: Move

I took the easy interpretation out and used the concept of moving house in my response. I was intrigued by the view out the window look of my last response and wanted to work with that a little more. I still don’t have a really good handle on cars, but will work on that some other time.
