2QAQ meeting

 Just home from another 2QAQ meeting -  inspirational morning with Pam Hill, Sue Duffy, Alison Charlton & Glad Howard, sharing their knowledge about colour.  Pam talking about working in a series and how colour fades.

 Sue speaking about her methods of accomplishing her wonderful art works.

Alison intrigued us with her use of shibori and Glad spoke about the psychology of colour.  A ver interesting day.

2Q Challlenge - White for July

 This is the A4 piece, couple of crocheted doilies made the snowflakes and a bit of hand stitching added to the feel.

 This postcard is called 'Tracks in the Snow'

And this postcard is titled 'White Lace' 

Postcards for Granddies

 Frozen for Benni

Woof for Shiloh.  Missing them - everyone has been busy with life and I haven't travelled up the mountain to Mt Nebo for a couple of weeks.  Made the postcards yesterday & they'll be on their way tomorrow.

Journal Covers

Made for sisters, Heather & Annabel - noticed them drawing in church & thought they'd like a sketch book each to practise.  Pretty sure they liked them.

Workshop last week

 I attended a workshop with Sue Duffy https://ratherbequilting.wordpress.com 

She won Best of Show in Queensland a couple of years ago. Does amazing work.

 Used water colour pencils and thread sketching - thought this chick had a dinosaur leg.

 Placed on the background with the lily pads, the chick doesn't really look out of place.  Have yet to finish the applique.  The hen & chick have been trapuntoed (is there such a word??).

 Sue's piece - we could choose this one or another piece - similar theme.

 Detail of Sue's piece - can you see the reflections in the water?

Sue's piece - the bird is called a Jacana (for those who need to know) and it lives on lakes around Brisbane (& probably other places too) - big feet to 'walk' on the lily pads, also known as the Jesus bird!  It was a great workshop - now I have to finish it...……………..
