Friday Feet 05-06-16

I started doing Friday Feet in January 2011, not that I have done EVERY Friday since then.  When I started it was my feet, but that got old fast and, to be honest, wasn't very interesting.  Unlike the bloggers who show themselves doing yoga in fascinating places around the world. 

 

Among the early postings (01-13-11) were these tiles in front of the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles in San Jose.  At that time I was just showing the toes of my shoes because the point of the pictures wasn't really my shoes, but what they were standing on.  Later I got into not only feet, but entire legs! 

 

A kind of loose Drunkard's Path.

Tumbling Blocks.

Another Del quilt from long ago 05-04-16

"Hanging Ring"  Del Thomas 2005  24" square

Cotton Fabrics, cotton batting, cotton thread.

This was made for Fabri-Quilt's booth at Spring Market 2005. The requirements were the size and using all Fabri-Quilt fabrics. I sold it at an exhibit a few years ago.

I had never changed the bobbin when I changed the top thread, but it seemed like an interesting idea and I very much liked the way it turned out.

A detail shot.

The label.

An early Cynthia Corbin quilt 05-01-16

Machine pieced and quilted.

I met Cynthia Corbin at Empty Spools Seminars at Asilomar.  We were in a couple of Ruth McDowell classes together in the early 1990s.  I admired her work then and still do today, but have never added another of her quilts to the Collection. I believe this was started in one of Ruth's Symmetry classes and the "border" was added after Cynthia was home in her studio.  I love the addition of brown in the border and those swirling "ribbons" pop out the center panel and add a lot of motion to the composition.

Cynthia lives in the Seattle area.
