STUDIO THIS MORNING

3 pictures of the studio this morning before I started to work. 

I'm happy to say the bindings are done and I'll add ribbons, rik-rak, and buttons, tomorrow. 

But before that I want to put away the excess of materials covering every table top. 

Hard to think in the middle of such a mess!

FITS IN A SUITCASE

Nelson designed a PVC pipe structure for hanging 3 quilts during presentations. 

It breaks down into pieces that fit into a suitcase and is simple to put together. 

This morning we put the parts together for the first time to see how it worked.

It sagged and was too long. Back to the workshop.

Third quilt - heading towards completion. 

Machine quilted squares and clouds.

Sewing on the golden 'rope'.

Tomorrow, sewing on the binding.

STUCK

   

I was stuck yesterday. I did not like the cross and took it off. Now what!!                             Lord what is the answer-how do I do this cross?                      Early this morning at 5am I went through my Peru papers and quilt notes. The answer dawned on me as I read.                              The teaching I offered to do is all about the story rope-why, how, where, experiences and let's do it!   Of course. I drifted into complicating the simple!                                            Back to the story rope on the face of the quilt-ribbons and all.                                 Went out for more ribbons and other notions to finish it up.                                  More hours ahead but I know what I'm doing now!

STUDIO AT REST

Pat and Martha are coming. 

I'm putting the quilt aside until Monday.  

It's coming along. 

Often it is good to be away from working on an art project for a couple days.

It helps me be more objective.
