I hope that May is treating you well. It's still cold and rainy in Ottawa but then it is only May 😊
Fibre Fling 2021 Virtual Art Show
The Out of the Box Fibre Art Group is proud to present our first virtual art show. I really hope that you will visit - the art is really amazing!
Here are the posters for the event. Does one of those pieces look familiar?

The posters may feature art from previous shows but I think that this year's show is one of our best. Of course it's not the same as seeing everything in person, but then I wouldn't be able to invite you all to attend!😊
As usual, I have entered the maximum number of art pieces that we are allowed. If you check it out, you will see my latest piece, After the Storm. I'll write up the post in the next week or so. It's one of my favourite pieces. (I think I often say that after I finish my latest!)
I hope that you'll go visit. It's well worth it!
May One Monthly Goal (OMG)
I've had a lot of fun posting on Instagram, but it's time to get back to work! I'm sure that that is what my son is thinking.😁
My OMG for May is to finish piecing Version 2.0 of my Mother's Quilt to my Son.
 |
| Ready for the borders! |
By the end of the month, I want to:
- Add the borders (figure out exactly how big I want it to be, cut and piece);
- Sandwich it (that is one huge job and the kitchen floor needs to be clean to do it!)
- With my son, discuss and plan the quilting of Version 2.0 based on my mother's notes to my son
If I can start free motion quilting (FMQ) it, that would be a bonus!

With my son's permission, I will share some of the story as I FMQ Version 2.0
I'm not adding a What I learned section because I haven't seemed to learn it...I think that this quilt has been an OMG at least 2 or 3 times....let's see if I can do it this time! For added inspiration, I'm pulling the quilt top and the border fabric and hanging them on the banister!

Monday Making, Midweek Makers, Patchwork & Quilts, Off the Wall Friday, Put Your Foot Down, Design Wall Monday, Needle & Thread Thursday, Can I Get A Whoop Whoop?,
Quelle belle expo ! J'ai commencé à regarder tes oeuvres bien sûr (et la belle photo de toi !), mais je vais prendre le temps de visiter tous les artistes. Merci pour le lien !
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup Frédérique. J'ai manqué de voir les oeuvres d'art en personne - elle sont toujours meilleurs, mais je suis contente que nous avons pu avoir une exposition quand même. Bonne fin de semaine!
DeleteOh I forgot all about your son's quilt but remember you posting about it a couple of time. Good luck with your entries and I look forward to seeing the post of what your entered. I often say a fabric is my favorite or this is my favorite quilt of all. Those are the ones piling up in my closets, lol. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise - thanks. I'm happy to say that I finally put on the borders for my son's quilt today. I'm hoping to piece the backing tomorrow and sandwich the quilt this weekend (we have Monday off!) Take care and thanks so much for hosting!
DeleteThanks for the invitation to view the art show, Andree!! Off to take a look...
ReplyDeleteHi Joy, I'm so glad - hope you liked it! We have a lot of talented artists in our group!
DeleteHope the art show went well. Good luck with your May OMG (hopefully by this point you've gotten it finished!)
ReplyDeleteHi Kate - the art show was a huge success. We reached so many more people than we would have in a real show that only lasts 2 days. As for my OMG - I've just put the borders on. Tomorrow I will piece the back and since it's a long weekend, I should be able to also sandwich it!....I hope :-) Take care.
