Asilomar 5th Day 03-05-13

Exhausted!  Seems to be my normal state of being these days - I am too tired to write much and, as you see it is midnight.  Very stormy right now, strong gusty wind and rain.  These old buildings creak and rattle, guess I might need my earplugs tonight. 


I have mostly worked on this piece - this image was Monday night when I quit.   The skinny black vertical lines are very narrow cuts of black fabric, but in the final quilt they will be either couched rat-tail or stitched with perle cotton.  There is no blue in this quilt, the blue areas are actually white with black print.
 

This is where I ended tonight (Tuesday) and I forgot to pin in the skinny black lines.  I still need to sew on the acid green border on the right side.  It is on the table because I couldn't get the right light on my board.  It is about 15 inches wide and maybe 3 feet long.
 

I showed the "Sea Glass" quilt by Dolores Roseveare last night.  She made two more today - a "Sea Glass" series.  They look quite nice hung as a triptych.
 

Laura Lake made two very contrasting quilt tops.  This bright one with a black background.

And this orange and blue with a very pale background.
 

 
Barbara O'Beirne came the greatest distance for this class - the Yucatan.
She made two quilt tops - these bright houses and  very colorful abstract piece that I posted on yesterday's blog.
