SAQA Trunk Show
I finished my piece for SAQA's Trunk Show. The Trunk Show is literally just that. The quilts get mounted professionally and then put into a trunk and then travel to all sorts of guilds and venues for up to three years. If the artist wants to offer them for sale, they are put up for sale, if not, then they are returned to the artist at the end of the show. They all have to be 10" x 7" and they will premiere at the 2014 SAQA conference in Washington, DC, and then travel all across the United States and around the world. I got to see one of the trunk shows at our art group meeting one month and the quilts we saw were spectacular.
Here's my contribution:
If you look back at its beginnings from the impromptu session ( Impromptu ), I ripped out much of the stitching and redid it to place the right elements on top. All of the stitching is done by hand (unusual for me) except for the yarns on the outer edge. Those are machine zigzagged on. (I never know how to spell that.) zig-zagged? zigzagged? zig zagged? Please comment and correct me on the spelling. The computer spell check accepts all of them.

You hit the perfect combination....a very peaceful scene yet the design is so well composed.....it keeps one's interest.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I like peaceful these days.
DeleteLooks great Regina! Why not just say ziggledy zaggeledy stitches and no one will know if you spelled it right, lol. Made up words are the best!
ReplyDeleteGreat words!
DeleteI zig zag over cording so I just say couched. I can spell that! And I agree with Janice--made up words are the best!
ReplyDeleteI like to couch. One of these days, I should try doing it with a more fancy stitch. I like the words Janice used, too.
DeleteHow nice to be a part of this show.Congrats,

Actually, any member of SAQA can participate. This show isn't juried. (Another reason to join.:))
DeleteA very atmospheric piece.
ReplyDeleteI'm into the light and airy these days.
DeleteA very nice piece, Regina! I have to get going on mine. As for 'zig-zagged', that's how I spell it -- with a hyphen -- or as 2 words. It's a Canadian/UK thing, I think. People in the US run more words together than we do, so you could spell it 'zigzagged' and not freak out "Spell Check". ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margaret. Now I have to do the mundane... the label.
DeleteVery nice piece. No matter what the spelling - we know what you mean.
