Peter Gabriel’s “Steam” – “Steam” won a Grammy-Award in 1993 for “Best Short Video”. The song was also nominated in the category “Best Rock Vocal Performance”.

The CQFA meeting last Saturday went really well. We laughed a lot. Nancy, one of the members, is on a quest to improve her art. She took a long course (certificate program??) in Seattle that ended last year and is diligent. When she comes to the meeting she brings works that are very different from what the rest of bring. She often has interesting construction problems that make us think outside of the box. We were helping give her ideas about what she could use as a form and that led to extreme silliness as many great ideas were generated.
Everyone looked at the two Lark Books I received last Friday thoroughly and Terri said that she thinks Lark sold at least 10 copies by sending me those books. 😉
Maureen’s ATC exchange was a raging success. I showed mine last week in the Saturday post. I liked them, but they didn’t seem to be that popular. People made wonderful pieces, so perhaps it was just hard to choose.
March ATCsThe ATCS I Received
Below are the others that members brought. The lower left is one of Sonja’s. Originally I picked a different one, but when I saw the chair, I switched!
Maureen’s
I didn’t get one of Maureen’s. I did get one of hers last time that I keep where I can see it all the time.
Bron’s
Bron’s have a very New Zealand look to them. She doesn’t do a lot of fiber, so I was glad I chose one of hers.
Caroline’s
Caroline’s jacket was in these same colors. I think she works in them a lot.
Dolores’
I was also sorry not to get one of Dolores’. She did a great quilt at the retreat in January and I admire her dedication to her work. How do you like that one curved corner? Clever, don’t you think?
Sonja’s
Sonja’s are very subtle this time.
Diane’sRobin’sSue’s
I think this is the first time that Sue has participated. I didn’t get one of hers either. The flowers really attracted me.
Debbie’s
Debbie hasn’t been to a meeting in a long time, so I was pleased to see that she brought ATCs. I was also pleased to see that she used her signature style on them.
Maureen is a great ATC Shepard for CQFA. She reminds us to get our ATCs done and how many there will be to exchange. At the meeting today we will be exchanging 4 each. I worked on mine a couple of Fridays ago when I kicked the boys out of the house and spent the day sewing. I don’t normally sew during the week, but don’t have as much time so forced myself to pretend it was the weekend and sewed.
March ATCs
I wanted to use the current Creative Prompt and remembered an African fabric I bought with eyes on it. Amazingly, I was able to find it and use it. First, I found the mask fabric, which I thought would work. I wasn’t as happy using it, so I went back for the eyes.
I thought of Pamela Allen the whole time I was working on these as she has a thing for eyes.
I made an additional 8 (only 6 shown above) thinking that we would be exchanging in multiples of 4. Then I went back and read her message and found that she only wanted us to bring 4. No problem. Now I can send one to a friend and keep one for another project I am working on.
Leftover ATCs
In case you can’t tell, I am making a series. The two highlighted above are first in the series and I thought I would bring them along (had to finish them first!) and see if anyone didn’t get the first series.

When I took art classes in college I always enjoyed contour drawing. Contour drawing is where you look at the object you are drawing and NOT at your paper.
I got quite good at it and decided that I would use that technique for my Inspiration drawing. It took me awhile to actually get to it and when I finally did I just sat down and drew with what I had – no fancy drawing book or paper or pen. I used the following two photos as the basis for my inspiration drawings.

And here are the contour drawings:

Serveware Contour Drawing
I left a little of the notebook page in when I cropped the picture so you could see that I just used my working journal; I didn’t use anything special. I did the drawing at a Starbuck’s using a picture on my phone and the pen I had in my purse.
Here is the place setting:
Place Setting Contour Drawing
This one came out much better. I am out of practice using this technique. One of the things I like about contour drawing is the movement you get in the drawing.
This word wasn’t planned at all and I was contemplating how I would fit a whisk into one of my drawings when I saw this display! Whisks on the Wall
Lucky me!

I often sit down at my sketchbook and wonder whose dumb idea the current word is? Then I remind myself it was mine and resolve to find a better word for the next week.
This one actually formed in my head pretty quickly. I wanted to look up an actually picture of Big Ben and Parliament, but was, ultimately, too lazy.
OK, girls and boys, I am here to announce the winner of the one World One Heart blog go round/ blog project/ whatever it is called.
First, my goal was to get new blog readers, so I hope some of you will stick around and join our little community here.
Second, I appreciate everyone who actually took a look at my blog and followed the requests that I had about entering . I really wanted to know where everyone was coming from.
Finally, I also really liked it when people said something about my posts or a post. I was tempted to toss those who didn’t follow the directions out of the drawing. However, I was persuaded otherwise and everyone stayed in.
TA DA!!! The Winner is:

You can also make your own Over the top bag. The pattern is from All People Quilt. You can read about my bag in my August 26th post. Lisa put up a list of all the OWOH participants in alphabetical order. Great list if you are looking for some blogs to read!
In addition to this post being about a creative prompt response, since it has hearts, it will also be a Valentine’s wish for you!
Heart in Hand CPR#51Sketching #51 Study #1
Here are some of the designs I was working on. What I wanted to draw was a Baltimore Album Quilt in the window of the shop I have been drawing. I started to test the basket design and just didn’t feel the love. I have been feeling a little impatient lately and I think my inability to settle on these last few drawings is a symptom.
Sketching #51 Study #2
I did this study after the main part of the hand drawing. I was trying to see if I could add more detail and make the piece look better.
Definition: A whisk is a cooking utensil used in food preparation to blend ingredients smooth, or to incorporate air into a mixture, in a process known as whisking or whipping. Most whisks consist of a long, narrow handle with a series of wire loops joined at the end. The wires are usually metal, but some are plastic for use with nonstick cookware. Whisks are also made from bamboo.
Etymology: Middle English wisk, probably of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse visk wisp; akin to Old English wiscian to plait
Date: 14th century
2 a: a usually wire kitchen utensil used for beating food by hand b: a flexible bunch (as of twigs, feathers, or straw) attached to a handle for use as a brush (from Merriam-Webster)
