"Community" 40"x40"

I just completed this wallhanging. It took me two months and it is the largest piece  to date.  I was challenged technically, and was able to find solutions. I decided to quilt with invisible thread, and I have learned to be very patient. This piece is going to be exhibited in May-June,  along with a selection of my watercolors. I am pleased with the way it turned out. Creating the twenty five blocks was great fun. It actually gave me some ideas for sewing small pieces and framing them. Below are pictures of few of the blocks. 

"Waterways" 36.5" x 36.5" wall hanging

I am trying to expand in size. This was a real enjoyable project, taking about three weeks to complete. I am focusing on getting few wall hangings done for a show in May and June. This is the first one.

Here is the work in progress on the design wall. I love the wall because I can shift pieces around to play with different arrangements.

Below is a photo to see the values.

"Growing" front panel

 This is the second pillow I finished recently. I love the red fabric. It has such a rich hue. I do not know where the name came from. The vertical stripes on the front panel remind me of vegetation, but the back panel has horizontal orientation. I suppose I could think of growing sideways that happens to lot of us with aging... or not.

Overwhelmed by events, finally I have completed this design. I am getting adjusted to having less time sewing, not painting, but gardening instead and then recupperating my sore body. The weather is spectacular and so I love being outdoors.
