Challenge block No 10 - in process.

Thoughts and process:-

Just at the moment the quilt lacks spontaneity...

I'm about to sandwich the quilt and I think I will hand stitch the fabric down with big colored stitches, (Vertically)

The strips on the side are a handwoven belt that I bought just for this purpose.... (I cut it in half) and yes, i want one strip longer than the other.

I think I will add turquoise and orange ribbons too. I don't have them in my stash.....!!!

Challenge block No 15. It was difficult to complete the blocks as I traveled. I've shared ideas and drawings, but tonight I got out the fabric and I share with you my ideas. I purchased a child's bib made by the artesana Nasaria Patishtan Diaz from the municipio Chamular. So, my Spanish is not very good. and I have been trying to find out more about the program under which this small garment was made. I will investigate further. I bought the garment with the idea of using it in my challenge series on the last day of an exhibition at the Oaxaca Textile...

finished. I've finished my first block, which actually turned out to be a small quilt 17" X 23" I'm going to add another installation to this quilt, but that will be counted as a separate block. I'm going to make two stand alone lilies and they will be placed in the top of the embroidery. To be honest, I don't know how I will make them, but that's part of the challenge. When we travel, we buy things that get put into the drawer, ore sometimes even put on view for a short time... With this quilt, I've completed a challenge...

This is a blog to document a challenge between friends. Carolyn Foley and Pam Holland. Each week we will make a small 6" block documenting the detail we have noticed in our experiences during that week. The rules are a bit fluffy right now, I guess we will make them up as we go. I will add my ideas, sketches and auditions daily... You will see the finished block or illustration at the end of the week.
