| From a printmaking course at London College of Printing in 1999. Motifs are based on characters from Xu Bing's "Book from the Sky" |
 |
| Needlepoint based on a greetings card, late 90s |
 |
| Blending yarn colours is certainly different from mixing paint! |
 |
| Meant to be part of the "barcode series" (it needs some of the blue fabric to the left of the vertical strip of stripes) |
 |
| Silk purse from a sow's ear? No way embroidery will rescue this felt... |
 |
| ...but on the back, a painterly passage (and some moth holes) |
 |
| Journal quilts from 2008, back from some exhibition or other |
 |
| Potential cushion cover, made in Bob Adams' discharge workshop, 2007 (I never did put pix from that on the blog ... maybe the other fabrics will turn up) |
 |
| Scraps for a "Modern Quilt" - offered free to a good home... |
 |
| Meant to be a 12" square journal quilt - wool and velvet, and going nowhere |

| A sample for Hatching quilt |
My local hospice shop snapped up UFO needlepoints I had, especially as I provided the wool/thread too. Apparently they went as soon as they arrived! I sometimes wonder if they are still UFOs but in other cupboards.
ReplyDeleteI use my samples for testing stitches and paints - sometimes after several layers they end up quite interesting (or not..) Maybe a swap with someone else ufo's?I've just taken a couple to Sandown to the QG stand as donations as 'UnfiniSHED'
ReplyDeleteThen there's chopping up and rearranging - I used up a lot for 'bookwraps'.
I too have some needlepoint UFOs. They are modern, small and from NZ. My latest idea is to incorporate them with fabric into a sort of 'family history' project along with photos I plan to scan and a few pieces of my mother's table linen. A sort of quilter's autobiography rather than trying to write about my early life. However it is a winter project - I can't bear being inside for long when the weather is like this.
