Rooting Around Again

The local SAQA group wants about 3 pieces from each of us for the Rooted show..........So here we go again.
Checked out some doodles...



Chose my fabrics, they are Egyptian cotton and no good for hand work.
Machined them together with some textures.
At this point it lay around my studio as I stitched on other pieces closer to my heart.
Will show you how it's developed since then, tomorrow.

  6. The rich colour and texture is amazing! I like the way the smooth area at the top, plays off the couching on the bottom. I'm also thinking that I need to start a piece with some unplanned,sculptural pintucks.

  7. I said couching, but I really meant pintucks. Are they stuffed with yarn or heavy thread?

  10. Hello Penny, I was at your presentation tonight at the Annapolis Region Comm Arts program. It was so wonderful to see your work first hand and to see your slide show and hear your comments. I look forward to "chatting" with you through your blog. Rita
