| Fibre Fling 6 Show & Sale |
This will be my second show. I'm really looking forward to helping to set up the show. There's so much to learn when displaying the art....and of course, seeing all of the wonderful art pieces is a real treat.
Incredibly, I've submitted all of my pieces and finished making and attaching labels on all of them last week. This is the first time that I'm not panicking before a deadline for an art or quilt show. It helps that I only chose pieces that were already finished.
Since I've been making art quilts for a while, I had a few that had never been exhibited. You may have seen them on my blog, but not in any shows.
Here are the fibre art pieces that will be in the show as well as the labels that I made for each of them. All of the labels were foundation paper pieced except for the hexies.

- Getting ready for a show when you have all of the pieces ready is so much easier (and less stressful) than trying to finish things for a deadline.
- It's amazing how many pieces I've created, "just cause I felt like it", that could go into the show. Looks like I may have found my niche!
- I asked my daughter what I should do with all of these finished pieces. She pointed out that most of the house (except for the living room and my own room) doesn't have any of my finished pieces. I guess maybe it's time to start spreading out :-)

Yes, you need to be hanging your artwork, in your own house! Thanks for sharing on Midweek Makers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. I agree....I'm making plans for when it comes back!
DeleteLove the variety of your labels. I've neglected labeling in the past few years -- unless the quilt was being given away. Sigh. I need to follow your example. I particularly enjoy your Northern Lights piece. Yep, time to hang some around the house!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bonnie. I've been neglecting labels too! Once the quilt is finished, I don't feel like doing the rest...like labels. That's why I try to make them fun.
DeleteI love your quilts! But most of all you have given me hope for my hexie addiction! Quilt lables! I love it! Thank you for sharing! Visiting from Midweek Makers form Quilt Fabrication!
ReplyDeleteThanks Miaismine, I'm also trying to find something else to do with hexies and other EPP. They are relaxing hand-sewing projects.
DeleteThose pieces are so amazing! I am so happy that you would get to use the piece you made for the blog hop last time for other events! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alida. The show is this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it.
