Butterflies

I've been playing with butterflies, or rather photos from last summer,




with the goal of creating a more original and more personal image:

adjusting color:

croppping:



























deleting backgrounds:





I'm not sure where I'm going, but it has been fun, and thought-provoking!

MAQF 2009

Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival was a blast!
I didn't take classes for the first time, but was really inspired by the quilts.

there was not even a wind or a storm this day

I'm saving the tree to use as a bench, or sculpture...

A camelia blooming on the bush that had the funky icicles last month!

funky icicles

sideways, curved icicles!

I have never seen such a thing!

This icicle is almost 12 inches long!

SNOW!

finally!!!

I was working, but I did take a couple of photos!

Don't you love that brillant Carolina blue sky against the snow?

I love the interaction of the sunlight with the icicles.

my helper?

couldn't resist this one!

Rascal either lays on my WIP, or on top of my machine.

"Of course!," says he.

Starbirth revisited

Starbirth, Starbright 54"

Starbirth, Starbright 24"

Starbirth, Starbright has two versions, the larger one, pictured below at IQF Houston, (see November 1, 2008), and the original, which was too small to enter in "the Sky's the Limit"

(Double click to enlarge photos.)

I think they are cool side by side!

"The Sky's the Limit" will be touring for two years.

the next stops include:

International Quilt Festival, Chicago April 17-19, 2009

International Quilt Festival Long Beach, CA July 24-26, 2009

I also have two quilts in "My World in Black + White". This is a special traveling exhibit. It will be hanging at Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival in Hampton, VA. 2/26-3/1, 2009
