E Lucean Le Stella international competition

This exhibit was at the Ex Chiesa (church) San Giorgetto. It is now used for exhibits. Tomorrow I will post others that were also on exhibit, but were past winners from other shows.

Canadian quilters at the Verona show.

I had the pleasure of viewing some very interesting and beautiful quilts that were in a special exhibit in Verona. They were at Museo di Castlevecchio. These photos that I have posted does not do them justice. This first set is by Gordana Brelih

Bergamo April 17 -18 2013

I got a real kick out of these animal heads. They were in a shop selling head bands.  I'm posting this from my ipad. Which is not very user friendly when it comes to posting. It will not let me scroll down to make comments on the other photos. So for how enjoy the photos and hopefully when I get home I can comment on the others. The last photo is of the hotel we stayed at.

This  was our 1st time here and it was recommended to me by my friend Ellen. Thank you Ellen. We thoughly loved our 2 day visit here

Kick Off Your Heels fundraiser

Today, instead of talking and showing you what I'm doing these days, I would like to show you what my friend Joyce Sullivan is creating. She has decorated a pair of heels that just tickle my funny bone. They were made for a fundraiser to benefit the Barbara Streisand Women's Heart Center, Cedars-Sinai Hospital in LA. The auction will start on May 1st.  For more information click here: Kick Off your Heels 

This years FANE project Finished

Gosh, I really love it when a project gets finished. So, here is my FiberArtNE piece for the the Mahopac Library Gallery show. Opening night with refreshments is scheduled for April 28th. This will be the 5th show and the 1st one I won't be at for the opening. I won't be back from Venice until the 30th.  Yes I know, Venice - Mahopac mmmmm what do you think.  LOL.....

This years FANE project

Another year and a new project for FANE (FiberArt NE)and the Mahopac Library Show. Which will be for the month of May. Any way I will have more information closer to the show. This time we decided to do something on the style of a  triptych,

But not necessarily in 3's. It would have to be 2 or more mini quilts that would fit within a 14" square. Here are 2 layouts that I'm considering.  Of course there is quilting yet to be done. And I'm also considering stenciling in some dragonflies with some metallic paints. Maybe with Shiva paintsticks
