I will be attending the Textile Fibre Forum at Geelong the next four days selling Fiona Wright's Pukka Finds & Stitching Project -clothing and sari silk scraps. Some of the stitched jackets are to die for- luscious colour all stitched and so wonderfully soft. I will share some photos next week!
I have also been working on my travellers' blanket again- I want to get it finished. I am on school holidays at present but went up to my mothers for the weekend ( hence the flower photos) and by the time I got back and attended to some necessary administrative tasks it's Wednesday already.The cloth that I am working on for the travellers blanket was only partially tie dyed - and the tied areas leant themselves beautifully to being stitched. For the rest of the blanket I am using sari silk scraps and the effect is quite different- though I have been working on blending them in with the stitched tied areas. See what you think...
I can't wait to see what the whole blanket will look like- there is so much stitching happening on this blanket and I haven't yet decided what I will do for the "quilting" stitching and what colour.
I have also decided to do one more online linocutting class for the year.It will commence on 14 October 2011- so you will be finished before the madness of December. Here is a description:
The course is 3 lessons ( with various exercises) delivered fortnightly with the intent of building your skills with the tools as well as your design skills, looking at how to use your photos,three colour printing and various other things like simple repeats, alphabets etc. The cost of the course is $55US. Lessons are delivered as a pdf file and number approximately 100 or so pages, with exercises and tips and inspirations. I also organise a discussion group to troubleshoot problems or discuss discoveries and to share work.
If you are interested in enrolling and learning how to make your own linocut and stamps please contact me.
And last but not least some flowers for you from the garden of my mother:

And of course a great favourite- an uncurling tree fern frond- I am not sure why I love these so much, but love the idea that the whole fern frond is contained within that spiral- and the shapes.

It has been so much fun watching the metamorphosis of this beautiful quilt--I can't wait to see it finished--but I know that all good things take their time. It is so beautiful!
