So I was on the computor and  saw that the Northeast Fiber Arts was having a challenge.
They (Jennifer) would send out a bag of different fibers and you could make whatever you
wanted with it.
When finished take a photo and everyone gets to vote on who they like best.
This was alot of fun.

This is how it started. There is batt underneath that you can"t see.

Then I deconstructed the batt.

Added the camel and down I think that is what it said.

Silk hankies are added.

Prefelt circles...

Wool fringe
and bits of cotton and silk fibers

Bits of blue silk fiber

Add soap and water

A wee jumper!

All I need now is another baby grandaugter.

Prayer for Water

So one morning I was on FB and I see an invitation to the Indigenous Peoples Task Force.
To offer a piece of Fiber art to be pieced into a quilt. The theme is the mighty Mississippi.
More precisely the "Sister Mississippi".
The women are walking from the mouth of the Mississippi in Minnesota to the end in the Gulf Coast. Praying all along the way.

By the way, Felt United theme this year is Water.

So here is my piece.





I have asked that the people who receive my piece will send me a photo of the completed quilt.

Will post if I get it.

Finally finish the pillow. This one I felted and then used machine embroidary and then did some hand embroidary. It was fun rembering the stitches. It is off to a new home soon to be enjoyed some more.

Inspired by lil fish studios. She creates beautiful stitches on egg shaped stones.

Mine is a dandelion that has gone to seed, with the center being some of the seeds.

Had a great time with the stitches.

As you can see I have been busy. Just didn't post.
The bags have been fun and a learning process. You can't be doing anything but thinking how to construct a bag when making one. Or else you will have to redo it many times over. Lesson learned.

The gloves are alot of fun, they are lined in cashmere.

The hat was inspired by a woman from Norway her name escapes me right now. She does beautiful embroidery. I haven't  done embroidery for years and it was fun to try to remember the stitches.

I am going to try to keep more in touch.

So until next time, keep on creating....

Bags, gloves , hats and more
