Buzzin'

I have my granddaughter and daughter with me this week so not much studio time. I've been saving this piece to show for just that time when I haven't had anything else going. I did a smaller version of this a while back for the Alzheimer's Initiative. This one was done for Galleribba - small art for the wall. I know I've mentioned this wonderful online gallery of small quilts - Check it out here.

I have a lot of deconstructive screenprinted fabric I'm trying to work into some projects. I also loved screening and above is one of my grandmother's recipes for Carrot pudding..

I used my favorite stencil which is a mesh used in laying tiles (small squares) and did some hand stitching around the gold strip.

I use my screen of a dragonfly quite often - also some large stitching using 2 strands of embroidery floss.

I used 2 different bindings as I liked the look and thought they worked well with the piece - some black and white dots...

and silk organza on the other 2 sides.

And the finished piece - Buzzin' which you can see at the Galleribba Gallery.
Til next time....
