Rust Quilt Entry

A House In Harlan

  

I have been making Rusted cloth for a couple of years now, and this "call for entry" came from Rust-Tex, the sponsors of the exhibit, a group of ladies that I know challenged each other to enter with some rust dyed cloth that we had created during a summer workshop,

This is the first Juried Show, I have ever entered (or any quilt show for that matter). I don't know how I will do, but it was no pressure, my Goal was to get them finished and entered which was a Big step for this procrastinator! I have about three other Rust Quilts in the works but I feel very good about finishing these  and getting them entered .

This Quilt - A House in Harlan is a very personal quilt made with old family photos, from my Dad's Mothers Family, The pictures date from the 1930's.

More Fun in Summit

Once again a great time in this little coast range community , We saw many old friends that we have made over the years, and many return customers. And it is always a fun surprise when people show up that you have met at other art shows and they recognize you !

More Houses and Mushrooms

SOME OF THE NEW STUFF, GOING TO THE SUMMIT FESTIVAL

Perfectly in Place

A little house perfectly in place along with some Mushrooms, After making the flat cut out mushroom's I wanted to try some 3-D mushrooms! So here they are. The set was a Mothers Day present for Mom this year. Mom and Dad's Campground is my personal "Outdoor Sculpture Garden". I usually give Mom or Dad some kind of sculpture for a special occasion.

Dad's Big Sculpture

This is a big piece I made for Dad in 2007, My niece is ringin'Da' bell.

"RUSTic" little houses

Another set I started was little Rustic Houses, they are small and fun to make, and embellish. I was trying to make some Wonky , but they all turned out pretty straight.
