My First Quilt

The Potomac Fiberarts Gallery in the Torpedo Factory, Alexandria, VA, an artists cooperative, to which I belong typically has a new show approximately every month. The upcoming show beginning October 22 and running till November 18 has the theme "Black and White". The necklace in the last blog post was created for that show. I also chose to interpret the theme in a different manner-thread painting by sewing machine over a photograph of my puppy and another member of his litter. I call it "Brothers Under the Skin". It is presented as a small wall quilt (26"x23"). Joanne

Machine Embroidery Exhibit

I am almost finished the set of machine embroideries for my one person exhibit at the Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center in Frederick, MD. I just finished framing the 19th one. I hope to complete 2 more this weekend as my dog agility seminar has been cancelled due to Irene. Subjects range from flowers to architecture (windows and doors) to lighthouses to animals. Hanging will take place next week. The opening is Saturday, Sept 3, 3-5 PM. Here are a few of the latest. Joanne
