Oval: An oval is a curve resembling a squashed circle but, unlike the ellipse, without a precise mathematical definition. The word oval derived from the Latin word “ovus” for egg. Unlike ellipses, ovals sometimes have only a single axis of reflection symmetry (instead of two). Wolfram

I like SherriD’s response much better than mine, but I was on a roll, so here it is. Part of my unhappiness has to do with the size of the paper and the consistency I want to keep in the drawings. I may do another response to this prompt. We will see. Enjoy!
That umbrella keeps appearing. I really like the idea of sitting under an umbrella on the sidewalk, in a cafe’. I never have found the reality to be quite as wonderful as the idea, though.
Last week Jill mentioned the crack in one of her comments. That comment brought this response to life. I think I could have made the stem a bit taller. I may draw it again with a taller stem, but we will see.
The CQFA meeting was Saturday. We had two new people and that was GREAT. The whole meeting, actually, was great. There was LOTS of laughter. People who came late said that they could hear the laughter out in the parking lot. I need to attend more meetings where everyone is laughing.
As usual, show and tell was excellent. Everyone is really churning out the work and being inspired by each other. It was great. I showed Passionate Purple, the Chocolate Box and FOTY 2009. I also showed some books, talked about the Dale Fleming class and traded ATCs.
My ATCs
ATCs
People did really nice work for this round of ATCs. I was really pleased with the ATCs I chose. My score were the pears! I love them all though.
NancyBron
Bron used FabMo fabrics for her ATCs. She is on the board and finds all the good stuff there!
Maureen
Maureen has a new blog, Flies in a Cathedral. She only promises to post once a week. I look forward to hearing about the flies.
DebbieAmy
I wasn’t fortunate enough to get one of Amy’s cards, but I loved the texture.
JulieDiane
Diane is a very accomplished silk painter. When I saw those pears I knew I had to have them. I wasn’t the first person to choose either, so I feel very lucky to get that card.
My ATCs were really fun to make. I haven’t had much fun making them in the past. I am working on a series of ATCs and I may have to rethink that as it seems like a chore — until this go ’round.
QA Article by Cindi Huss, Apr/May 2010
I was reading Quilting Arts magazine last Thursday night and saw a picture of a leaf in an article about wool felting or something I wasn’t interested in. The article was by Cindi Huss I was interested in the image and the technique.
April ATCs in Progress
From what I could see in the picture, the author stitched zigzag lines three times with different threads. I did that in the picture above. One of the great things about my machine is that it has a very precise stitch. I can stitch over the same line and the needle will land in the same hole. That wasn’t what I wanted to for this. I wanted the zigzag to be a bit messy. I wanted the colors to blend. I had to readjust the needle to get it out of sync with the previous line of stitching.
Because of the Dale Fleming class, I was no longer hampered by changing the foot. I know it sounds silly, but sometimes taking off the foot holder is just too much of a hassle. I think I am over it now. I put on the darning/free motion foot and created the circles. I drew them lightly with a white pencil first so I had something to follow. I also slowed down the machine and that helped make the stitches show. After doing all of the circles. I went over some of them with two different colors of thread. Using Aurifil means that the stitched area does not get too bulky.
My idea was to make one piece and then cut it up. I had planned to try this technique in paper, but was inspired by the QA picture that I decided to go for it. I did make the background larger, but if I do this again, I would make it even larger and the ATCs were a bit small this time.
April ATCs cut
I have never made one piece and cut it up. I didn’t think people would like the right and left bottoms, but those were the first to go, actually. After cutting, I took apart a necklace Lil Sissy brought me from the Carribean and used the hearts for embellishment.
April ATCs finished
Here is the piece (minus the middle) embellished and finished and ready to be distributed. I was really pleased that they were so popular this time.
This happening tomorrow, May 2, 2010. It will be at 8am on the West Coast of the US.
A Moment in May is a project where the organizers are hoping that many, many people will take a photo at the same time. “That moment will be 15:00 hours in Coordinated Universal Time or U.T.C., the contemporary equivalent of Greenwich Mean Time. In the United States, under daylight time, this would be 11 a.m. on the East Coast, 10 a.m. in the Midwest, 9 a.m. in the West and 8 a.m. on the West Coast. For local times around the world, you can consult this converter from timeanddate.com.”
I plan to photograph a quilt or something quilt related. What do you plan to photograph?

This prompt response rattled around in my head for quite a while. I had a different imageof what I wanted to do in my mind, but changed what I drew at the last second after looking through my prompt responses from before. This drawing is related to Winter and Trees. I might need to work through my original idea as well. We will see.
I am trying to get back to sketching more detail. I am still trying to refer back to other responses. Do you remember the umbrella from Flame and Summer?
