NEW WORKS FOR JULY & AUGUST 2014

It's been a nice summer weather wise so maybe that has inspired folks to be creative.
Roberta Ranney has a new/first grandchild on the way so she is busy making baby quilts. Here is her first one. Such fun.

Donna Olson created a quilt for her son entitled "Paper Weights. It's Hugh and gorgeous!

Merrilee Tieche is working on a Quilt As You Go piece. Here are two photos of the work in progress. Hats off to Merrilee for working with triangles instead of the usual square or rectangle blocks.

The last but not least is Sally Robinson's Oriole, created from one of her photographs. Sally is our newest member, a photographer/emerging art quilter.

VIVIAN TERBEEK

Vivian loves embellishment. She works with commercial and hand dyed cloth, thread, yarns, and beads to express her emotions in vibrant color and organic forms. Working intuitively, she manipulates the fabrics as thoughts come to her.

April's Show and Share

Vivian Terbeek has done a piece with two layers. Two quilts in one! The top is like a "fringe" of white and small pieces of fabric.

 

 The bottom layer is a pieced "quilt."

Winter's Bonfire

Lodge Pole Pine by Roberta Ranney

 Clouds and Shadows by Lettie Blackburn

Lettie won the Fiber Award in the Senior Art Exhibit sponsored by the Missouri State University Gerontology Department. I think Lettie is our youngest member; Barely a "Senior."
