Went to the Leger show yesterday at the Philly museum. Rocky has stopped running up the steps! It was great to see some of the mid-century modern guys, and those from before, like Leger. There was a painting by Kropik i particularly like and it has inspired me to do an art quilt in a similar style. Will work out the paint or dye issue. First thought is painting with dye on PDF cotton. Second is color blocking and appliqué. Third is patchwork. Yup. Probably will try all three. I have always loved modern art and as I am a mid-century modern piece of work myself, it is a time i enjoy! Told dh i want an atomic ranch and he was pretty baffled . I would love stained cement counters and floors. Floor to ceiling windows, skylights, color blocked walls, need i go on? I would even make "1 more Rya rug. I think i remember how. Granted that was in the '60's, but since it's not essential, i still remember it. Lol. Only important stuff is forgotten! Meanwhile, or beforehand,i have a ton of stuff to make before i head to dallas on Sunday! I have done nothing all week due to a persistent headache, but now i have little choice. Can't arrive without hostess gifts, and two birthdays while I'm there. I have made one doll outfit so i need one more and a girl dress to go with. Sew, sew, sew!
love the cat pic! And Suzie, love the musical! I can hear it! Lively, and makes me want to dance! A fun idea for quilting would be the lyrics from a meaningful song. But then, i love to write with the sewing machine, lol !
