Get 'er Done

If real deadlines did not exist I would have to invent them just to get projects finished. Let's just say that most of the time I 'mosey' through my artwork, especially fiber art, which tends to get done one stitch at a time, with lots of pauses in between to work on other, less snail-like projects. Nevertheless, I have not posted much lately because I do have real deadlines approaching, one for submitting an artwork to the Lubbock Arts Festival, the other for getting a series of quilts, especially a very long banner, ready for a show in March at South Plains College, then later at LHUCA in June. As I type this I am on the clock. I can hang out here at the computer for twenty more minutes then it's time to pick up that needle and thread and stitch, stitch, stitch.
Here then is a preview of that banner, as part of a series of two-sided banners our Caprock Art Quilters group is working on, around the theme of "Textured Land and Sky". If the images remind you vaguely of the area around Lubbock.....then my job is done. These are my own quick camera shots. I will get my daughter to take more professional ones when the project is complete. Because she is really really good at that.
The first few images are from the 'Day' side of the quilt. and the last one from the 'Night' side of the quilt. Day is done. Night is still being stitched with silver stars, a moon, and more texture in the checkerboard field.

The finished banner will be 7 feet long and hang free from the wall so it can be viewed from both sides. Onward and upwards..........
