October topic

The topic for October is memories. Think carefully!!!

oh

And the new topic is??????

well done

Great work Linda....nice one.
Greg has given up! So I am unsure when mine will appear....Can you put a phone picture into an email?We have been reading manuals but cant seem to crack it!
Maybe next week or even while we are away if we get the laptop working again!
Cheers Bev
Do you want a description?

Just pointing out my 2c material from spotlight is used for the background!!!! Could have been my frugal quilt. LOL

My History

This is my history. It turned out quite well (I thought). The picture is of Ian's Dad who was in WW2 and was wounded twice - hence the telegrams and the newspaper clip. I used things I hadn't used before - the t-shirt transferand printing directly onto fabric. The book I got from the library really gave me heaps of ideas - lots more to try out.

calms

not clams

waaah

The camera is playing up.....it seems that my puter meltdown last week may have been the result of Greg using an infected thumbdrive(?) thingee to transfer photos from his laptop .So when he tried to use that thingee it has shutdown his laptop.....he isnt very happy......But at least Liezza who we had blamed (not too her..she is only 6) is off the hook!

Still there is time and when Greg clams down and thinks..I think he will figure it out! Otherwise I will be late like Jan!

History

I have made a picture of Clio,the muse of history.She was the daughter of Zeus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clio_(muse)) and was one of nine goddesses. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse)

I think I found her on the first of Sept and did a bit of research on muses and greek mythology in general.Brandon was quite helpful and really we are learning together about this history.

I found the original image...which I think is a sculpture and then using prismacolour pencils and threads sewed a sort of likeness...hoping all the while that the photo would look better than the quilt! Actually I have enjoyed the process and intend to do more..it was fun.

Have a great day....hope the next months theme leads to more learning!

Bev

phew

I finished ...well it is done but this time I was trying a new technique so its rather basic.I will post tomorrow since wednesday the family and I are heading to the farm for a week.
cheers Bev

Hi Ladies
I'm going to have to be late with my quilt again this month, I am going away tomorrow for a holiday. I will get home on the 7th October
I'm taking my girls to the South Island for a ten day road trip, should be great. Then when I came home I will have four days before I go back to work so I will have time then to finish my quilt AND find out the word for October then as well and maybe even get going on that quilt too!!
Dreams are free!
Have a great month and look forward to seeing your quilts when I get back.

oh my

Next Tuesday the reveal day will be tomorrow! Eek.
Bev...yep havent started yet.

September

It is the 14th today and you know what that means? Yep it is nearly half way through the month. And I'm done (in my dreams!!!). It is rolling down to the 30th - only 30 days this month so it will be here quicker than last month
