Fun Name Badge

Linda Kemshall encouraged her viewers to make a name badge for themselves for Festival of Quilts in the UK. I think she said everyone with a handmade name badge would get a special something from her booth during the show. Well, I am taking a workshop this weekend at ProChem, teaching a workshop at Fiber College, and hosting the Northern New England SAQA parlor meeting a.k.a. The Maine Event so I felt that plenty of reason to stitch up a fun name badge. Here it is in all its glory.

Standing Stones

After looking at this quilt for a while, I decided to rename it. It reminded me of the way the standing stones are supported at Stonehenge. I also took some more detailed photos of each block because it is a riot of free motion stitching. Here it goes.

Update

I cut another sharper version of my image and made some prints. The first 3 over 3 is on plain white.

This is done in Probrite (metallic) rust . Much nicer detail. The next one was on hand dyed silk and is sitting on a piece of hand dyed cotton.

 I will call this Deja Vu. I really like this one the best. The last is one a piece of hand snow dyed fabric.

This will be called Clouded Mind.

I am also going to start dyeing corn husks. I think that Judith is probably the only person who will go, OOOOOOO!!

and here is a peek at the stitched portrait in progress.

And last of all, here are 2 of the surface design Round Robin pieces before they are mailed out.
