Where did you say July went?<\/p>\n
I haven’t been to a BAM meeting in forever, sadly, but Kelly has been a great sherpa for me. Yesterday, I sent off my round robin work along with some cat beds and she will, once again, kindly, sherpa them to the meeting this Saturday.\u00a0 Someday I will see the BAMQGers again.<\/p>\n
I wasn’t able to finish the orange and grey donation quilt<\/a> yet. I didn’t really work on it last weekend. I’ll get back to that as soon as I pick out a blue for the sashing. Apparently, that is the hold up in my brain.<\/p>\n I did make some time last weekend, in the midst of the quantity to do some quality.<\/p>\n This is Chris’<\/a> piece and when I first saw it, my impression was that it needed some space. I used the white to give it some space, but didn’t want to just put white strips on, thus the corners.<\/p>\n I also varied the width of strips a little bit so it would have a bit of movement, or viewer’s eyes would move around.<\/p>\n Now that I look at it, it kind of looks like a tulip.<\/p>\n I tried to make the white the same white as in the flowery black\/white\/yellow print so neither would look dirty. The black on white I added is pretty bright. I think it works. I hope it works, at least. Chris makes art quilts, so she can paint over the white, if she doesn’t like it.<\/p>\n This project definitely involves muscles that are atrophied in me. I am committed to working through all of the pieces, but I am not sure about the project. I am anxious about doing a good. My technique will be good. I hope the design will be, too. I am not sure if my design work fits the piece. It certainly isn’t terrible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I didn’t know what category to put this post in, so I hope it works for those of you who are category-crazed.
