Annual Report Monday 12 March 2018
Needless to say I am not addicted to blogging, since I appear to have skipped an entire year.
Briefly on that score, I spent the last three months of 2017 nursing a fractured right arm/shoulder so was immobilised in a sling for seven weeks, and convalescing until Christmas.  Very frustrating BUT because of the internet was able to research masses of information and tutorials on my favorite subjects, although at the same time, resisting the urge to run off and experiment because of my handicap.  Did manage some left handed drawing.

Some finished work from earlier in the year, small quilts and some embroidery and painting on hand dyed silk.

Hand dyed silk, stamped, machine couched metallic thread, built in embroidery stitches, metal coins and other items,  beaded.

Collage- cotton batik and prints,  tulle, free motion embroidery, applique, beading, paint.

 Cotton batik background, built in embroidery stitches, rayon and metallic thread, hand embroidery with perle cotton, beading.

Leftover batik squares, machine pieced, quilted,  organza overlay, foil, stamped, couched heavy cotton yarn.

 So not completely unproductive.

Currently working on new art quilts, and of course, still enjoying wonderful golden days dying silk with Ken Smith and the gang of other enthusiasts.  My silk dying technique seems to be improving - and it's only taken 17 years!! 

Talk again eventually.
