I’m working on my next challenge piece for Use Your Eyes. The theme is shadows. It didn’t take me long to choose an image to use. It was a photo I took as part of my C&Gs course. It was for an activity to do with the principles of design. I chose this photo to illustrate [...] I thought I had the quilt top for my final assessment piece finished. I had sewn all the spirals together and filled in the hole with the black circle. It was all pressed and ready to be admired on the design wall, but my eyes kept sliding off the black focal point to an annoying dark [...] The last two weekends I’ve been working on the piecing of the hexagon spirals. The first task was to produce a full sized cartoon on brown parcel paper. Since the sketches were 30 cm square, I decided the easiest was to scale up to a 30 inch square. No complicated maths to do then. I don’t [...] We had more snow overnight on Saturday and woke to white again on Sunday – not that we had many other colours beforehand except grey and a bit of vegetation finally peeking out. A good day to stay home and get on with my final assessment piece. I pulled all my fabric out onto the floor [...] We are holed up here in snow so I have some unexpected time on my hands.

As Marie pointed out – the metamorphosis ideas, which were influenced [...] I’ve been doing some design sketches and experimenting with ideas for my final assessment piece for my C&Gs. Marie, my tutor, had this to say about Reflections This is the standard of work you have been aiming for, now you have reached a level that you can build on to become the practitioner you hoped that you [...] I have been off work since Monday. The weather has been pretty foul. Lots of snow and then the temperatures rose and we had rain on freezing ground. We braved it out on Tuesday and did all the shopping for Christmas. Since then I have had time to work on my reflections quilt. I was working [...] I’m back and I’ve had quite a productive weekend. The first thing I got going on was my least favourite activity on the C&G course – sampling. I was a good girl though and sampled 3 construction techniques for the piecing of my next assessment piece, although only one was new to me! I used my [...] |
