Was thinking about my women of the bible quilt. <a href="http://doloresfegan.wordpress.com/women-of-bible-quilt/">Dolores Quilts - Women of the Bible</a> Here is a link that gives pictures of each quilt and poem and more information</div>

I just found that there is a women of the bible quilt along starting now. It is a women's bible study and 52 week of quilt blocks. It uses simple block patterns to represent each study. They use the Women of the Bible devotional book by Ann Spangle and Jean Syswerda. Here is a link to the yahoo group. <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/WomenoftheBibleQuilt/info">http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/WomenoftheBibleQuilt/info</a> I have no connection but thought it was worth passing on.</div>

As usual I started out the new year with a new word and cleaning my sewing studio. This years word is <b>choice</b>. Last year's was evolve. I think I have improved some of my skills and am hoping to continue improving my drawing skills. Choice is my word this year because there are so many -- choose to find time for art, chose to keep things organized or not, choose to practice and hone new skills ... I chose to recover my chair while I was cleaning. I really like it. The main cleaning is done, but the small sorting goes on.<br />

I have finally made the commitment to unstitch my goddess for my mother earth quilt. Taking out tight stitches in 2 pieces of 1 inch foam stacked and fabric was tedious. I love the new results and can now finish quilting the background and adding the beaded spiderweb. Then for the trees and 3-D leaves.<br />

The party was to thank all those who have made my life what it is. The menu was lasagna, spaghetti, garlic bread and vegetable soup. I also baked two chocolate cakes from scratch and made chocolate molded pretzels. Family brought fruit and veggie trays. We had a great time. Guests were to entertain me. Even my grandson stood on a bench and sang in front of everyone. I wrote and sang my own old age song to the tune of My Favorite Things.

There is always a stage where you think that it all looks bad, and too much thread has been used. This is when I keep going and add some more. Here 's a look at the thread I chose to paint the pug. The following are some pictures of the dog in various stages of being thread painted. <br />

Here are some pictures of the process of adding the fabric to my canvas sketch. I free hand cut all the fabric, added each piece and then choose and cut another piece. I think the blue and purple under the black thread painted layer will help add dimension. <br />
<br />
<br />
To hold everything together until covered with thread painting I use a bit of elmers washable school glue and freemotion zig zag stitch with invisible thread.<br />

I spent 3 hours last night doing the thread painting over my fabric dog. I am really please with the texture and the colored fabric that shows threw all of the thread. Used 3 bobbins of sulky invisible thread for the thread painting. I used mostly Isocord thread on the top which is one of my favorite threads. Seven colors used, not including the Superior metallic for the collar. I cropped and added a backing and batting and then out lined the dog and areas I wanted to stand out. The background was densely free-motioned quilted with a variegated Superior thread in the top a and variegated brown in the bottom. I used another whole bobbin just for the background even though the entire piece is only about 8 by 7.<br />

My newest project is to try and improve my drawing skills and my thread painting. I downloaded some copyright free images of dogs. I am using 1 day to sketch the dog and transfer to fabric, one day to freehand cut out fabric and tack it down. The third day will be to finish with thread painting. Now I'm not planning on spending an entire day, just allowing a short practice time. <br />
<br />
Here are some pictures showing my transition from day 1 to 2.<br />

I changed my mind on the black back ground after sewing all the loose fabric down. It looks too much like it is the dog's fur. Here is a cropped pic of the before and after change.<br />

First I made my favorite and easy chocolate cake from scratch. Super rich chocolate and no egg or milk so my daughter can eat it. All you do is pour all the ingredients in a bowl and stir with a fork. I'll post the recipe later.<br />
I used chocolate frosting then covered it with a mix of melted dark chocolate chips,white chocolate chips mixed with almond milk. I used pink and white fondant kneaded together for my pig color. Other colors were white fondant mixed with food coloring. Here are some other views and some close ups.<br />

I thought with some work it would be really pretty. Then I found it housed an old singer. Now that was covered in black grease and layers and layers of dust. I plugged it in and it worked great. So now I am the owner of a 1948 model 15 Singer sewing machine. <br />

The cabinet turned out beautiful just by rubbing it with dark oak restoring stuff. The machine cleaned up quiet nicely, as well.

We learned about non-woven materials and painting and dyeing with paintsticks, acrylics, ink-intense pencils, and fabric dye. Betty is an extremely good and generous teacher. We learned a lot and had lots of fun. Here are some pictures of the workshop. <br />

I was really honored as there were so many beautiful quilts to choose from. I was genuinely surprised. My thanks to all who voted. The greatest aspect was not the award, but finding how my quilt touched people and evoked emotion. Here is a picture of the Berea Arts Council director and me in front of my quilt.<br />

It’s that simple! No strings attached to this challenge except to use a technique new to you. Search your kitchen drawer, your mother’s, grandfather’s!!, anybody’s. Try boutiques, flea markets… The apron is the impetus, not to be copied, for your work. “</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The exhibit is now up at the Berea Arts Council. They did a fabulous job hanging so many quilts. The Exhibit runs from July 8th - August 23rd. My Quilt has a very long title: "Broken Apron Strings; Women </span>Pioneering<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Reform in Kentucky." Eight of these quilts quilts and a couple of alternates are selected from this group of quilts and photos are submitted to the American Quilt Society (AQS) as entries in the Guild Challenge quilts that are shown at the AQS show in Michigan the following July.</span><br />
So with this possibility no photos available.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I will also have another challenge quilt I am working on for our "Road Trip challenge. My quilt is called "Trail of Tears." I cannot show a photo, but I will share the original poem I wrote for this quilt. A special thanks to my husband who assisted with the editing. This quilt will be hanging during the Berea Quilt Extravaganza Exhibit August 2nd and 3rd.</span><br />

This flowerer was free cut from one piece of black and put over a batik fabric and appliquéd . If you look you will notice that the flower contains a dove and a figure inside. The roots (cursive words) were cut as one piece of fabric and appliquéd.<br />

This year we are allowed to enter two quilts. My 1st quilt is "Feeding Time." It is entered in the wallhanging category. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Feeding Time was inspired by the following haiku poem that I wrote:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
young geisha delights</div>
<span class="s1"><div style="text-align: center;">
envisioning diamonds and pearls</div>
</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">koi flash and sparkle</span></div>
</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
Size: 53 ½" X 41 ½" </div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">This quilt is my original design. The background is constructed using curve piecing of batik and some of my hand dyed fabric. The Black outline was cut from whole cloth and fused to fabric and then appliquéd to quilt. Tree branches are made dimensional using trapunto. Cherry blossoms are made of fused fabric and beads. Some fish are overlaid with angelina fibers.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span class="s1"><span style="text-align: center;"><br />This entire quilt was constructed and quilted on my home sewing machine.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="s1"><br />Close-ups</span></div>
