Jenny Lyon was the speaker at SQG today. We had never met, but ten years ago I purchased her 12"X12" quilt "May Day" on the Studio Art Quilt Associates online auction. It is an exquisite silk piece with very fine machine quilting and it is embellished with the tiniest beads. She said today that looking through a book of Japanese Mons (komon) inspired her to design this piece.
Jenny Lyon, maker, and Del Thomas, collector, with Jenny's 2010 work "May Day", a 12" X 12" silk quilt with hand beading. Machine pieced and FMQ.
I did take pictures of the quilts that Jenny showed at the meeting, but AOL is having problems and I haven't figured out a way around them. So, I will try to post them soon.
Lots of rain today - hurrah! More is promised for the rest of the week. Temps in mid 60s and mid 50s at night. KoKo and I just walk in the rain and then come in and get dried off. It is not too cold and we warm up fast.
