We have had struggles through covid, losing a lot of our members. We now have a new permanant meeting location, at Everything Sew Nice, quilt shop, 2405-10 Diamond Lake Blvd, Roseburg, Oregon. so we no longer meet at members' houses. You can phone Laura at 541-236-7139 for directions to the shop. There is a very large classroom there, with new lighting, large cutting tables, and irons. There is space for us to grow our membership. Of corse for your shopping pleasure, there is fabric, thread and patterns and Bernina Sewing machines. We meet the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 10:30 to 12:30. Contact our email, info@fybercafe.org. Search for us on Instagram, Threads, and Facebook Groups. Please come and join us for new fiber techniques, challenges, fabric dyeing workshops, and friendship and inspiration. Currently we are working on a challenge to do a mixed media collage from a flower closeup, with hand dyed fabrics, shiva oil pastels, watercolor pencils and sheer textiles and beading. We just finished a tree/landscape challenge, where we focused on texture for bark, leaves, rocks and water. If you are local please feel free to come join us. No dues, very informal.Amy Art Quilter & Fyber Cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11676682258155326783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432990328335563876.post-69803483352751384202017-10-17T10:34:00.000-07:002017-10-17T10:34:21.627-07:00Aprons<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNeD6pEyT2JDQ5IatuQWTDlHkDwtosCfw_st-oaRmVd2VPInrR5R2LARUIHyhIP_TgIoITWSVJZCK55fcR72W-x8elyGOVzlF91ZoD_yQIYR3U0LaKue7OmzzWGpBkbzA_wjldRNWYc7Q/s1600/FyberCafeE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNeD6pEyT2JDQ5IatuQWTDlHkDwtosCfw_st-oaRmVd2VPInrR5R2LARUIHyhIP_TgIoITWSVJZCK55fcR72W-x8elyGOVzlF91ZoD_yQIYR3U0LaKue7OmzzWGpBkbzA_wjldRNWYc7Q/s320/FyberCafeE.jpg" width="320" height="213" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1067" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrWllJKgtBjWiZG5lmaqubrcIhvCXUGqkeTp5VVeFMTuEAURixNHR1ASH5x0woUlhTJlAM5yTa1jByb0krjQWyepcvSEtRfDknH6Pvc49IxtIkmDEyrVjA0-FE9j28hGy-oXmV6lZtlk4/s1600/SaraFyberCafeEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrWllJKgtBjWiZG5lmaqubrcIhvCXUGqkeTp5VVeFMTuEAURixNHR1ASH5x0woUlhTJlAM5yTa1jByb0krjQWyepcvSEtRfDknH6Pvc49IxtIkmDEyrVjA0-FE9j28hGy-oXmV6lZtlk4/s320/SaraFyberCafeEWr.jpg" width="213" height="320" data-original-width="1067" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>Our group has decided to decorate aprons for us to use at events, so that we can be identified as a group. For the local quilt show this will set us apart as textile artists, as opposed to the regular guild membership. We discussed t-shirts, but thought the aprons would be more fun, and have more area to cover. I created the type setting in Photoshop, in several different fonts, and we voted online for the one we liked best. The "Papyrus" font won the vote. I scanned it into the Brother Scan N Cut, and cut a stencil on exposed x-ray film. The stencil worked great, the plastic film is just perfect. We took turns stenciling acrylic paint with a foam brush onto the top of each apron, we could choose our own colors. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJO21JuzDeNYevoo5CtQwRi7CL06CcY_lEsrohpv_EVOWqri3W11R1TMLER-tnCntqhuDd7tSnjxFD0lpvbl06iixsGBcEEEhhUFUEHin_s3OinQ55gDNkuEit7pMVNpJfwmDZ1T1TJ4E/s1600/AmySpirals2EWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJO21JuzDeNYevoo5CtQwRi7CL06CcY_lEsrohpv_EVOWqri3W11R1TMLER-tnCntqhuDd7tSnjxFD0lpvbl06iixsGBcEEEhhUFUEHin_s3OinQ55gDNkuEit7pMVNpJfwmDZ1T1TJ4E/s400/AmySpirals2EWr.jpg" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1067" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1fSLWVgiNGPjpmkwkdxSK7bNW1Gfq_Ip1RoF_fjBGX6Xna_l40-fMlLg-_kAhLLheAMu1RT-FZZNbRtqSi5egaG8LJCtVjuoNSTOrGOAvL0f4-7b3hMwQx9wi_SshxxVAYpiA6RJexlU/s1600/JenHandEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1fSLWVgiNGPjpmkwkdxSK7bNW1Gfq_Ip1RoF_fjBGX6Xna_l40-fMlLg-_kAhLLheAMu1RT-FZZNbRtqSi5egaG8LJCtVjuoNSTOrGOAvL0f4-7b3hMwQx9wi_SshxxVAYpiA6RJexlU/s400/JenHandEWr.jpg" width="267" height="400" data-original-width="1067" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div>We were originally going to start with ice dyeing the aprons, but the weather wasn't hot enough to set the dye or melt the ice. So we began by using acrylic paint, which will act as a resist for later dyeing, the aprons will get many layers of techniques built up. Amy used blue & purple to stencil the spirals on the bottom of her apron. Jenny began with a very personal hand print. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCA0l0ocekswAhiEAJIOqAHVxh2AiYW7nsSvaOJIa_0_iRzTa6on5AXqLljAv0N4ZINGMtfwpHclJFaWQ2VZzjGAxaT5hDxi9TOQMqxiq4Vo8ixhAgmZqyn8Yi_RkrNS7buMqe70Ny6zg/s1600/CherylBubblesEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCA0l0ocekswAhiEAJIOqAHVxh2AiYW7nsSvaOJIa_0_iRzTa6on5AXqLljAv0N4ZINGMtfwpHclJFaWQ2VZzjGAxaT5hDxi9TOQMqxiq4Vo8ixhAgmZqyn8Yi_RkrNS7buMqe70Ny6zg/s400/CherylBubblesEWr.jpg" width="267" height="400" data-original-width="1067" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVoSS_bmXwkM9el9p2J-5VEBeobTEsTcH3QAXdjltxVUAFyIlNksE07j0mpqCxeJm_K6qEtr4PGvfFw5QE0FQqoo5X0MDPb5ya_QIb-hvmCFa7PDdbUpVB_B6PTtPbln4H_8_JYovorXU/s1600/JenChevronsEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVoSS_bmXwkM9el9p2J-5VEBeobTEsTcH3QAXdjltxVUAFyIlNksE07j0mpqCxeJm_K6qEtr4PGvfFw5QE0FQqoo5X0MDPb5ya_QIb-hvmCFa7PDdbUpVB_B6PTtPbln4H_8_JYovorXU/s400/JenChevronsEWr.jpg" width="267" height="400" data-original-width="1067" data-original-height="1600" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1iqjVuwRH-YybssBC4iBuRji6hxaOD_YdUvk9sdYSXiofiVS54GQipNFXbDjf15QDKoA0LpXWkXX8McQ9jGE_h17cr3TuhRisBDiFDNBYxMgyNXDoD0gRLNuwATqDDtSGWRgBFqlUnFg/s1600/LorraineLeavesEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1iqjVuwRH-YybssBC4iBuRji6hxaOD_YdUvk9sdYSXiofiVS54GQipNFXbDjf15QDKoA0LpXWkXX8McQ9jGE_h17cr3TuhRisBDiFDNBYxMgyNXDoD0gRLNuwATqDDtSGWRgBFqlUnFg/s400/LorraineLeavesEWr.jpg" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1067" /></a></div>Different stencils were used as we began.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD9vIJTpFPZ51icP43hSgjSldzG9Lrizclc0-3ZvBeR9bjEcDs6YQDDXOIEgShuf1Ds0H7gFCMPArRARuOrfrkKSzu8sNmytSQCswezHX-whZ-VVss0EwkbYgAZYhJjXi78ivdGs3BCvA/s1600/PatFlowersEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD9vIJTpFPZ51icP43hSgjSldzG9Lrizclc0-3ZvBeR9bjEcDs6YQDDXOIEgShuf1Ds0H7gFCMPArRARuOrfrkKSzu8sNmytSQCswezHX-whZ-VVss0EwkbYgAZYhJjXi78ivdGs3BCvA/s400/PatFlowersEWr.jpg" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1067" /></a></div>Pat used a foam stamp to create a multi-colored bouquet of flowers.

This is wet from the dye bath, it will rinse out lighter. So this is just the beginning for us, some are considering applique, more dyeing and printing, others are going to couch some of the dyed yarn from our Shibori dyeing, and others are bead-aholics. Who knows where we will end up.

Use water from the stove that is just about to simmer and heavy latex gloves, dip the ball in the hot water and add a squirt of cheap dish soap. Careful not to burn yourself. Now rub and agitate the ball, for several minutes, scrubbing, turning and rolling to get all sides. Remove from stocking and peel off the tulle, if the tulle sticks, just pry it away, we had to leave the tulle on one because it was felted in. Keep rubbing hard in soapy hot water until felting is finished and fibers are firm together. I ended up using a plastic basket from the dollar store for a ribbed texture for rubbing, we also tried an old fashioned laundry scrub board. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIvVJYnGi56Ncsj5y_26wFgMhv_RaPAxUP1BCcLCcAD7eWnqCHg4i4k4_FbnpqoGubsPJkIr6hs1HrWz-rDFG_wCpQsjFsTVpapjQ7BeeM0I_7fuZf2trzBPGPDLBcOT9-KLQpJLsf9MM/s1600/FeltBowls002EWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIvVJYnGi56Ncsj5y_26wFgMhv_RaPAxUP1BCcLCcAD7eWnqCHg4i4k4_FbnpqoGubsPJkIr6hs1HrWz-rDFG_wCpQsjFsTVpapjQ7BeeM0I_7fuZf2trzBPGPDLBcOT9-KLQpJLsf9MM/s400/FeltBowls002EWr.jpg" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="1067" /></a></div>Now the fun part, removing the orange, if you have a thin spot, choose that as the opening and pry the fibers apart, until the orange can be removed. Or cut a small circle at the place you want the top to be, about 1-2" diameter, then pry apart with force until orange comes free. The 3rd choice is to cut an "X" into the top, flip back the flaps and remove orange, the cut can be like flower petals or any other shape you want it to be.

Try wool yarns, especially handspun, to layer in the mix, just don't add it at the top, cover with a few wool fibers, cause it wont always felt in, and then you have loose strings.

The weather had been close to 100 all week, but it cooled down for us to a perfect 85. We mixed up two buckets of soda ash, so we could pre-soak our fabrics. Amy had the backyard set up with wire shelving for racks and we all brought different plastic baskets, wire baskets, colanders and stuff to place the fabric in and let the ice drip through.

The fabrics were left over night in the plastic bags, then rinsed until the water ran mostly clear, then washed with Synthrapol in the wash machine and dried and ironed.

It was suggested we continue with a "wings" type theme as people had unfinished projects, good intentions and more ideas for that theme. A round robin tote bag was discussed, instead of a vest or other wearable art. Look for a favorite pattern we can use. <b>Show & Tell</b> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2OvPQvHH7mqLdpBovs0b3swI117zAheeHqXQGs_HWjPKYUaIysNOOnb2y-mWYknmFdCQcyHU7eL7MeyC-LjwsX9idMhHOQQCBtLQInORQuQ7P-FSEYox5KuutVLnft08zRD9NV0Yn_BY/s1600/ViIndigoBooksEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2OvPQvHH7mqLdpBovs0b3swI117zAheeHqXQGs_HWjPKYUaIysNOOnb2y-mWYknmFdCQcyHU7eL7MeyC-LjwsX9idMhHOQQCBtLQInORQuQ7P-FSEYox5KuutVLnft08zRD9NV0Yn_BY/s320/ViIndigoBooksEWr.jpg" width="320" height="229" /></a></div>Vi brought two books on Indigo and Sun Printing for us to look at, she also wore her sun dyed vest again. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVP0CYKCTuOA4vnQjjxEvvKuhGL2nwcrYdu-OAJ_C0ivrmA05wDAzUtwD-27I-YaK1ey2kPn1iXQ4EzmCC6EnQu45t3-a59EgmxPImq9jsmV_EVd_Mr6bINXB5BLYphKgUC_Q5wNoNsxI/s1600/BarbFlowers02EWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVP0CYKCTuOA4vnQjjxEvvKuhGL2nwcrYdu-OAJ_C0ivrmA05wDAzUtwD-27I-YaK1ey2kPn1iXQ4EzmCC6EnQu45t3-a59EgmxPImq9jsmV_EVd_Mr6bINXB5BLYphKgUC_Q5wNoNsxI/s400/BarbFlowers02EWr.jpg" width="286" height="400" /></a></div> Barb is making progress on her moonlit Mardi Gras flowers wall hanging for her friend.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7QALsAKCsXTJtrJzcMsYtkGdnOsh2NcaON1HquOTno6CrdiPKKRRQSCjWeIklBsT692QF0CbFeKX8ADQKOWg2q61-AFRByJ4aVonj61fpMrUxs2Mh6VKe0_UglVo2tBY86w4X0X1lZ10/s1600/BarbFlowersClsUp2E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7QALsAKCsXTJtrJzcMsYtkGdnOsh2NcaON1HquOTno6CrdiPKKRRQSCjWeIklBsT692QF0CbFeKX8ADQKOWg2q61-AFRByJ4aVonj61fpMrUxs2Mh6VKe0_UglVo2tBY86w4X0X1lZ10/s400/BarbFlowersClsUp2E.jpg" width="286" height="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUUAcbAvBxGi5XiEvmi6b2x4GcuAo4G7e-d4WLpAlQAyrcRsdoyGxonhZNbhcCUKKhUXDr4Lz5Yk8i8MRYx1Joffx_evKo8U4BWgARq8Q0hS9ixa2AfEojJS3024KeSygl5H2cEaMnTmE/s1600/BarbFlowersClsUp11EWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUUAcbAvBxGi5XiEvmi6b2x4GcuAo4G7e-d4WLpAlQAyrcRsdoyGxonhZNbhcCUKKhUXDr4Lz5Yk8i8MRYx1Joffx_evKo8U4BWgARq8Q0hS9ixa2AfEojJS3024KeSygl5H2cEaMnTmE/s400/BarbFlowersClsUp11EWr.jpg" width="400" height="286" /></a></div> She has used many different techniques to make bright 3-D flowers, some have beads in the center and other details. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZYFmLjwA7xG6nXWwH7ZkxDmSyW35UlEdJ31yJh0Zq3EpLqlgNYLYx0pWOTDswoZaocDwJjbU2npk9LG6KVeuPs6-bpdamrQ8O7A-crffu3Bme7EQcUxRnfqa_TQPk_j7BSRfQNQEHSbM/s1600/SaraBeadKumihimoEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZYFmLjwA7xG6nXWwH7ZkxDmSyW35UlEdJ31yJh0Zq3EpLqlgNYLYx0pWOTDswoZaocDwJjbU2npk9LG6KVeuPs6-bpdamrQ8O7A-crffu3Bme7EQcUxRnfqa_TQPk_j7BSRfQNQEHSbM/s400/SaraBeadKumihimoEWr.jpg" width="400" height="197" /></a></div> Sara brought her beaded Kumihimo bracelets, they are so intricate and feel slinky on your wrists.

We really appreciate the opportunity to display our work. This year they had moved the venue into the BIG Douglas Hall at the Douglas Co. fairgrounds.

The first challenge is the Oregon State motto, "She Flies with Her Own Wings." <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbA1OTzyYg8pTeLqbWL7Oqbz0UhaBTY1IyrrN-OAbVd2qDsY6Ic7g09myb9inHK8iCTvLV8W6lDYLPaPoGDOMEOi7orIY3nFc4UaLGdbIVTi55S_hzKOKHktBZpR1wOdhsKHS3teG3nbk/s1600/FyberCafeWings04EWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbA1OTzyYg8pTeLqbWL7Oqbz0UhaBTY1IyrrN-OAbVd2qDsY6Ic7g09myb9inHK8iCTvLV8W6lDYLPaPoGDOMEOi7orIY3nFc4UaLGdbIVTi55S_hzKOKHktBZpR1wOdhsKHS3teG3nbk/s400/FyberCafeWings04EWr.jpg" width="400" height="195" /></a></div> We had several art quilts to display, but we have a diverse group of artists so other media were acceptable.

We really appreciate the opportunity to display our work. This year they had moved the venue into the BIG Douglas Hall at the Douglas Co. fairgrounds. We displayed our two challenges that we had this year for the group. The first challenge is the Oregon State motto, "She Flies with Her Own Wings." <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbA1OTzyYg8pTeLqbWL7Oqbz0UhaBTY1IyrrN-OAbVd2qDsY6Ic7g09myb9inHK8iCTvLV8W6lDYLPaPoGDOMEOi7orIY3nFc4UaLGdbIVTi55S_hzKOKHktBZpR1wOdhsKHS3teG3nbk/s1600/FyberCafeWings04EWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbA1OTzyYg8pTeLqbWL7Oqbz0UhaBTY1IyrrN-OAbVd2qDsY6Ic7g09myb9inHK8iCTvLV8W6lDYLPaPoGDOMEOi7orIY3nFc4UaLGdbIVTi55S_hzKOKHktBZpR1wOdhsKHS3teG3nbk/s400/FyberCafeWings04EWr.jpg" width="400" height="195" /></a></div> We had several art quilts to display, but we have a diverse group of artists so other media were acceptable. We consider paper a fiber, so include paper based artwork too.

Lorraine was using primary colors, to go with a fabric with quilt sayings on them.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEyj3zbT4S7Fp087hP9ywFQqw52FC_utJOXvqp7BtiBL_0N_jquVm7ZauwFA5UDUwC44lVezoOKMnOEEiCSN8VvzOTerwLgCcgtwtiD6NIRYLSDZqKNyJ96pnGWj3DupflmrY5cV5UEZU/s1600/PatGSweatshirt1EWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEyj3zbT4S7Fp087hP9ywFQqw52FC_utJOXvqp7BtiBL_0N_jquVm7ZauwFA5UDUwC44lVezoOKMnOEEiCSN8VvzOTerwLgCcgtwtiD6NIRYLSDZqKNyJ96pnGWj3DupflmrY5cV5UEZU/s400/PatGSweatshirt1EWr.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV5Pd6agwEXO8Nm-Ym-p90_8HrGUg2lt0TJAJVeFlqg6TYghi0clPMD3Y0bqXJEP-YNZ4VsjHUJCVzKImf3tC8mNy_zvZNThTN_jhH1AcL3Ea39FfttO8ExzWHYP88qxcs1fLSwOHuT1Y/s1600/PatGSweatshirt2E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV5Pd6agwEXO8Nm-Ym-p90_8HrGUg2lt0TJAJVeFlqg6TYghi0clPMD3Y0bqXJEP-YNZ4VsjHUJCVzKImf3tC8mNy_zvZNThTN_jhH1AcL3Ea39FfttO8ExzWHYP88qxcs1fLSwOHuT1Y/s400/PatGSweatshirt2E.jpg" /></a></div> Pat G. used a selection of "Stonehenge" fabric, she had sets of jelly rolls and precut squares, in all different color ways.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPXXkG-SEtkbZws82GmDyCzYA4A52koVm9PrtYPrsGN-fB_albJo1XcsQ2zt6t1SkrIiOaBb1Kvt-I7C65zGtxyvdYaj6qO8naslUipmIHL55IP0VvLfjU05qPeZHk_v056j8E_yLAxtw/s1600/PeggySweatshirt1E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPXXkG-SEtkbZws82GmDyCzYA4A52koVm9PrtYPrsGN-fB_albJo1XcsQ2zt6t1SkrIiOaBb1Kvt-I7C65zGtxyvdYaj6qO8naslUipmIHL55IP0VvLfjU05qPeZHk_v056j8E_yLAxtw/s400/PeggySweatshirt1E.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg_47YQ4P0gwS671fQXFgmrqQo5dqS1y4yo7JjwJ-uLhpPo5xQ4AsjDoPcGeVR-0bTHsv5JWZaGUyQOcRfiEdkV8eu-cwYbCXnKH-fI0D8wMWZ-LAYzZXtzfkL546BassnafVaqah4r-A/s1600/PeggySweatshirt2EWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg_47YQ4P0gwS671fQXFgmrqQo5dqS1y4yo7JjwJ-uLhpPo5xQ4AsjDoPcGeVR-0bTHsv5JWZaGUyQOcRfiEdkV8eu-cwYbCXnKH-fI0D8wMWZ-LAYzZXtzfkL546BassnafVaqah4r-A/s400/PeggySweatshirt2EWr.jpg" /></a></div> Peggy used country colors, as well as some fussy cut images, of apple, chickens etc...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR5UtopNEbL49TamQ3iudyGZehuMF-kmjhpudkYosvtbw47Zj3SRv09WWjJxfzEzubb68RCPJttqIR_vq-jdvYanfKl-BhD-bc8lZewivh0d7w6oTwKSOuyp0cCgyJJqE5jEmpeuIQZkE/s1600/PatWSweatshirt1E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR5UtopNEbL49TamQ3iudyGZehuMF-kmjhpudkYosvtbw47Zj3SRv09WWjJxfzEzubb68RCPJttqIR_vq-jdvYanfKl-BhD-bc8lZewivh0d7w6oTwKSOuyp0cCgyJJqE5jEmpeuIQZkE/s400/PatWSweatshirt1E.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcjwXg98rWaugDslzcxmwrkcXIw3ek-hKK0tXRyRHmvXd4NL-Uw__1UgOoZW2sPMV4Sij7ndZ2hH5JP6wahaRTH6sfCQ9w7JZDWiTXv1ktB4SsaVFjw9jfwpqaHGdtkXWYo_iF8avUauo/s1600/PatWSweatshirt2E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcjwXg98rWaugDslzcxmwrkcXIw3ek-hKK0tXRyRHmvXd4NL-Uw__1UgOoZW2sPMV4Sij7ndZ2hH5JP6wahaRTH6sfCQ9w7JZDWiTXv1ktB4SsaVFjw9jfwpqaHGdtkXWYo_iF8avUauo/s400/PatWSweatshirt2E.jpg" /></a></div> Pat W. was using black and white prints, with a little bit of lime green for accent.

She also used a variegated purple thread for her stitching. The interlocking grid was too much stitching, and it shrunk too much and did not have any stretch to it. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifIzU9ZyD6BsGcn_xZPP8EVL9MbwvKK1qqf65ukgshV4BBs4tB1CNpPT8qn9MiyRNOf4nEneKIm2REl-FuTkYdP4THZlg4kCJLtcc64gHOZzpOLbgMw6rzt5fkQTFuKp4aqBXqIORQwGg/s1600/AmySweatshirt4EWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifIzU9ZyD6BsGcn_xZPP8EVL9MbwvKK1qqf65ukgshV4BBs4tB1CNpPT8qn9MiyRNOf4nEneKIm2REl-FuTkYdP4THZlg4kCJLtcc64gHOZzpOLbgMw6rzt5fkQTFuKp4aqBXqIORQwGg/s400/AmySweatshirt4EWr.jpg" /></a></div> Amy got hers finished over the weekend, but it was a lot of work, next time bigger patches and less stitching. She cut up the middle, rounded the top edge, and used a bias binding around her edges to finish the sweatshirt. Sara's sample shirt had the patches and edges folded over a half inch and zigzag top stitched. After washing the raw edges will fray and fuzz up, for a raggedy look. That's why you don't want to do so much stitching. Now we have to wait for the next meeting to see how everyone else's shirts turned out.Amy Art Quilter & Fyber Cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11676682258155326783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432990328335563876.post-23042628853595606292016-01-31T13:03:00.002-08:002016-02-06T08:45:49.451-08:00January Meeting 2016<b>Old Business</b> The Sweatshirt workshop is scheduled at Pat W's on Jan. 14th, 10am. Contact Amy or Pat. A field trip to the Oregon Gardens Quilt Show is planned for Jan. 23, 2016. Our challenges are both due at the March meeting, "She Flies with her Own Wings" and "The Path Less Traveled" they all need to be ready for the Umpqua Valley Quilters Guild Show in mid-April. <b>New Business</b> The dates for the Bandon Art Retreat are June 20,21, 22, Mon thru Thurs. We had so much fun last year we scheduled an extra day. I am sending in a deposit in Jan, anyone who wants to save their place can give Amy a partial payment. Next meeting, for Feb. Sara will demo paper and fabric beads, bring a heat gun if you have it, fabric, paper and white glue. In March, Amy will do a printing swap with rubber stamps, then in April we will do lesson on image transfers with the stamped images. For May Lorraine and Pat G. will explain the workshop they took at Asilomar for "line and composition." In June we will reschedule Corinne's hands on Kumihimo Japanese Braiding. <b>Show & Tell</b> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfDolmAAt-8m2nKQB4eE2zxB68SEn0axN64OUt0kuSni31XU9YQvbW-2UmQO6j1ZxsDQUweJat10fG_TdjI97vTSWI7-xEoWS6vhhxV_MIQyzDGTk95M-QNA5iq9zu6KlMjxCYMmYn6M/s1600/Amy%2527sHexagonsEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfDolmAAt-8m2nKQB4eE2zxB68SEn0axN64OUt0kuSni31XU9YQvbW-2UmQO6j1ZxsDQUweJat10fG_TdjI97vTSWI7-xEoWS6vhhxV_MIQyzDGTk95M-QNA5iq9zu6KlMjxCYMmYn6M/s320/Amy%2527sHexagonsEWr.jpg" /></a></div> Amy made a hexagon zen tangle Christmas ornament from a pattern by Jill Buckley at www.thequiltrat.com <a href="http://thequiltrat.com">click here</a> It was inked and painted with acrylics, then stitched together as an English paper piecing project. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgleL6ZjH0yyCzQbl6vfyvPHynkFZmVs6eXfM0mZq0kkKuBDtwUcPCZFjJtgU0A6Ptu6JZFEvlqzDAYcuASffEzuyeUb_P2I129E7fvEANWc-Xx3eDmZRI_66ydVNkXEm8EmPOyXQC7fNI/s1600/AmyFliesWithChickensE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgleL6ZjH0yyCzQbl6vfyvPHynkFZmVs6eXfM0mZq0kkKuBDtwUcPCZFjJtgU0A6Ptu6JZFEvlqzDAYcuASffEzuyeUb_P2I129E7fvEANWc-Xx3eDmZRI_66ydVNkXEm8EmPOyXQC7fNI/s400/AmyFliesWithChickensE.jpg" /></a></div> "She Flies with Chickens" is ready to be thread painted and machine quilted.

She brought her Zen Tangle sketchbook to show us. She had two sketches she is considering for her "Path Less Traveled" challenge. Landreth got together with a friend and worked on a large piece 36" to 45" with multiple layers of fusible. She is making big changes to her artistic style and life, but she is sticking to her rusted fabric projects. She has 18 yards of rusted fabric she is starting to fuse to go into 16 Goodwill picture frames. She is creating 16 different compositions and highlighting different sections of her fabric. Pat G. is ready to go on her month long trip to the coast with friends for a quilting get away, they have rented a house together in Bandon. Lorraine is working on her "Path Less Traveled" in a Laura Wasilowski style, with fused hand dyed fabrics. She and Pat G. took a class from her on their last quilting cruise.

We had a nice selection to look through. Our annual holiday potluck followed, with a table full of great munchies. We took a group photo, it is always hard to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time. Sorry if you are hidden by other people. This is the best of all the pics.

Wear a festive outfit and we'll take a group picture. Also for December, we will do an art/textiles garage sale, bring things you want to sell/share or give away. Clean out your studio for a New Year. January we will do Kumihimo - Japanese braiding with Corienne. February will be making fabric/paper beads with Sara, she will also show us how to coat them with embossing powder and a heat gun. We are planning a workshop at Pat W.'s to make the patchwork sweat shirts that Sara showed us, TBA for January. Wal-Mart has a great selection of sweat shirts in beautiful colors, right now. Buy one size larger, as we will be cutting the seams off and re-sewing them smaller. We also encourage any of our new artists to make something for our challenge "She Flies with Her Own Wings" these will be displayed at the Umpqua Valley Quilters' Guild show in April. Any Technique, any size up to 20" per side. <b>New Business</b> Several of our members have items at the Umpqua Valley Arts Center Holiday Gift shop, stop by and check out the goodies.

She went to Japan with the Roseburg Sister Cities group, and took classes with the Tie Dye Master. This fabric is made with ladies sitting around a board with lots of nails & fabric, and tying thread in a pattern around each point. It is very labor intensive and expensive, and done in all traditional ways. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFFV6k8FJCdLx_6HHhO68N3M0kDfMVmuWZ4jCq5L4zV27uxWPth8_Hf3R4iwiHLMqdQjl892iFTfRif_s94khQ3rJVpjA2NnDxB6Byd5tSYJVE-hPpmYrHhL-arki6DmfPkGOTa5u0_Vo/s1600/ViSunPrintEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFFV6k8FJCdLx_6HHhO68N3M0kDfMVmuWZ4jCq5L4zV27uxWPth8_Hf3R4iwiHLMqdQjl892iFTfRif_s94khQ3rJVpjA2NnDxB6Byd5tSYJVE-hPpmYrHhL-arki6DmfPkGOTa5u0_Vo/s320/ViSunPrintEWr.jpg" /></a></div> A second vest is made with Vi's sun printed fabric. The fabric is chemically treated and put out in the sun with plant materials, the technique is similar to blue prints. She has hand quilted around the details of the leaves. Another new lady is Linda, she likes to do all sorts of sewing stuff and wants to broaden her horizons. Landreth took an online class with Jane Dunwold, she teaches "Strength training for artists" it covers all disciplines and focuses on pushing your boundaries.

She got to see the "Washed Ashore" <a href="http://fybercafe.blogspot.com/search/label/Washed%20Ashore">click here </a> traveling exhibit while it was in Homer. They went on a drive one morning and saw Beluga whales off the coast, later in the day there were about 30 Humpback whales off of the spit, and during a walk on the beach they saw a pod of Orcas. She was so amazed to see all 3 types of whales in one day. Pat G. has been packing up to move to a new home, and has found just how large her stash is. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDELAipdpaUXBk4dHTrXsN_h4XBEr_H1wfwmvnG4KVstfVGbpYwt1dYoiVjOudns3ORAbUcACZ4oTJO0g9KyR_Ruj_3w-R2mcV7dPo1TCahfdd9IhClqBfMXWX-Y3LPznBFv_wXtCTiU/s1600/ShellBasketEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDELAipdpaUXBk4dHTrXsN_h4XBEr_H1wfwmvnG4KVstfVGbpYwt1dYoiVjOudns3ORAbUcACZ4oTJO0g9KyR_Ruj_3w-R2mcV7dPo1TCahfdd9IhClqBfMXWX-Y3LPznBFv_wXtCTiU/s400/ShellBasketEWr.jpg" /></a></div> Amy brought her friend Shell, who is working on this coiled basket, stitched with various yarns and ribbons, it represents the trees, water, flowers, and now she is working on the sky and tree tops. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRbHO6I5eR10HE0wo9fLBaf9Bd8Xe_r_xSlAn4eD0FgqySyS7T4UKdMCboIpiMKMuDHGJElw__7KsaS_fOFfwxFdmH-UobhpZYj0ioVpWxEG9zPSiCB07ZxSX0IgAiHYhAzGktIUs8zkg/s1600/ShellButterflyBeadsEWr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRbHO6I5eR10HE0wo9fLBaf9Bd8Xe_r_xSlAn4eD0FgqySyS7T4UKdMCboIpiMKMuDHGJElw__7KsaS_fOFfwxFdmH-UobhpZYj0ioVpWxEG9zPSiCB07ZxSX0IgAiHYhAzGktIUs8zkg/s400/ShellButterflyBeadsEWr.jpg" /></a></div> Shell was taught beading on leather from a Native American friend, she drew this pattern based on a photo she took.

So that everyone has a work surface, we can work on projects with paint or glues, with out having to worry about the tables and carpet. Bring your board in November, I'll cover a few extra in case you were not at the meeting you can have one. We had 22 artists in attendance today, what a wonderful turnout, word is getting around, about what fun we have. I hope to see everyone in November.Amy Art Quilter & Fyber Cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11676682258155326783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432990328335563876.post-18020822226658396502015-10-11T09:53:00.003-07:002015-10-11T10:32:32.743-07:00September Meeting 2015<b>Old Business</b> The NW-Portland Quilt show is Sept. 24-26 at the Expo Center, it is certainly worth going to, contact Crystal if you want to go.

Pat's bowl is a beautiful fabric with printed circles, she embellished it with sentimental family made antler buttons, and sea shells.

Zigzag, satin stitch or couch thread around the edges. Free motion quilt through the layers, a Microtex size 90 needle is recommended. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoLVT-RcFs4YOm_a9eNlblc9SD-VF7HgA8vpYxgTy9PhLhyPm9xjWFEt4YZljwsMqolMsogsnHm8iYQVMQetLSDIRbM35PpV8m8JT0bwCwJ4KMdi8ruBwMgy71M909ihwCiHTqV6KfvZg/s1600/MoldedBowlE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoLVT-RcFs4YOm_a9eNlblc9SD-VF7HgA8vpYxgTy9PhLhyPm9xjWFEt4YZljwsMqolMsogsnHm8iYQVMQetLSDIRbM35PpV8m8JT0bwCwJ4KMdi8ruBwMgy71M909ihwCiHTqV6KfvZg/s400/MoldedBowlE.jpg" /></a></div> Then use an iron to heat the layers and mold as desired. I tried a heat gun, but could not get a big enough area hot enough. You can drape it over a bowl or fit it inside to give you ripples. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYn38qMT18jRyWR-V56Hz36I9VbSlDIDyqac6uIdkk38G-ajeXyYl_8kaDx53RZPJdqeYRvKQRfBUXYqXnMJ79kaQhfbf_xlGrGz1_jqWsJfmNAWtERTtPvv-tFWL1ZlaBY3fpP7AGA-g/s1600/MoldedShapesE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYn38qMT18jRyWR-V56Hz36I9VbSlDIDyqac6uIdkk38G-ajeXyYl_8kaDx53RZPJdqeYRvKQRfBUXYqXnMJ79kaQhfbf_xlGrGz1_jqWsJfmNAWtERTtPvv-tFWL1ZlaBY3fpP7AGA-g/s400/MoldedShapesE.jpg" /></a></div> It can be folded, twisted, pleated, and shaped in many ways. If you want to change or adjust the shape, just reheat and mold again. It finishes very hard and stiff, and would be great for boxes, mobias strips, cones, vases or other shapes.Amy Art Quilter & Fyber Cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11676682258155326783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432990328335563876.post-16909370534536224452015-10-10T16:49:00.000-07:002015-10-10T16:52:06.931-07:00Summer Dye Workshop<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjmhN1-xMmIfQtwFQhjrn5Mr8WwpFTbXrSI8MbSHe0tkWRPjr0svHvdUVUxikdeW-_QDy2-jiVc5QTRHCraZOBKnfWrwHp4DQS2sjNrr_Z2sCGMW5YOF0a3d-rpZ3RPknu4Rl2L-XGBsE/s1600/MereIceClsUpE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjmhN1-xMmIfQtwFQhjrn5Mr8WwpFTbXrSI8MbSHe0tkWRPjr0svHvdUVUxikdeW-_QDy2-jiVc5QTRHCraZOBKnfWrwHp4DQS2sjNrr_Z2sCGMW5YOF0a3d-rpZ3RPknu4Rl2L-XGBsE/s400/MereIceClsUpE.jpg" /></a></div> Vera was unavailable for our annual summer dye workshop, so we had it at Tracy's home.

Forget-Me-Knots Quilt Shop has a Retreat Center upstairs, set up for quilters, with a large design wall, well supplied kitchen, work space with excellent lighting and enough electrical for all the sewing machines. Of course each bed has a hand made quilt on it. We met for lunch in "Old Town" on the waterfront, at the Minute Cafe, we had oyster baskets, fish & chips and omelets. Feeling stuffed we went to haul all our supplies upstairs and get settled in. Amy had goodie bags for everyone with "Fabulous and Diva" printed on them, the artists had to choose which they were to get a bag. They contained chocolates, rubber stamps with ocean themes, and cards of lace & trim, with decorative clothespins.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a shref="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOm0yr5_k4BnHO1uI4nJrrh0qJQMida21MExNgVJU2zmjqCbv4dMOJrz-Oam37kZ-gI5fORYZFmOXxtz7e0Gj6l9mNgPAIfYtfKZvrnEpuT-nCH2AspbUuXeIHLnjUtPoFeYRMulT9Vhk/s1600/AmyPaintingE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOm0yr5_k4BnHO1uI4nJrrh0qJQMida21MExNgVJU2zmjqCbv4dMOJrz-Oam37kZ-gI5fORYZFmOXxtz7e0Gj6l9mNgPAIfYtfKZvrnEpuT-nCH2AspbUuXeIHLnjUtPoFeYRMulT9Vhk/s320/AmyPaintingE.jpg" /></a></div> Amy set up one counter space with her fabric painting supplies.

We began dinner with appetizers of crackers and cream cheese and humus, with Tracy's homemade jams and pepper jelly, We had a wonderful dinner of crab salad, taco soup, cheese and crackers and a few of us had some wine that Crystal provided.

Amy purchased two packages of pre-cut Hexagons, about 6" across. One was Moda's spring line of prints, the 2nd Moda's fall solids. The colors went well together, they came with a plastic template, with holes to mark the seam point on each corner. Amy put them together with her sewing machine, stitching each piece mark to mark. After some assembly, she used the design wall to lay them out, to balance and scatter the colors. She doesn't know what she is going to do with them yet. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEite_m1T6cU7ld0hAxmj833PotCOIIlptFRXObGaaxmff8zrsoYPa3_vTcsNmn8QOcGailW8kxVLHBDuB2pvAyx-xoN13FyElSobr0wP99iSVIBD6-p-rBe0z1bln4DrzVzTIkX9qmeBcA/s1600/TracyBowlE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEite_m1T6cU7ld0hAxmj833PotCOIIlptFRXObGaaxmff8zrsoYPa3_vTcsNmn8QOcGailW8kxVLHBDuB2pvAyx-xoN13FyElSobr0wP99iSVIBD6-p-rBe0z1bln4DrzVzTIkX9qmeBcA/s320/TracyBowlE.jpg" /></a></div> Tracy worked with some fabrics that Meredith had stack & wacked.

The yarn she had wasn't right for the loom, so Charyl gave her some worsted weight yarn to use. Many of us walked down to Old Town to do touristy things like shop and get designer coffee. We met at the Bandon Bakery, for sandwiches on home made bread. A tour of our favorite book store, got us some goodies. Four of us went South to Langlois for the Wool Shoppe, she had a lot of wonderful hats and scarves, felted pictures and yarns and fibers. Meredith got a few supplies for Annaka to play with. On the way back we stopped at a wood carvers and posed for pics with the giant praying mantis and two headed Dragon. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Kdy-sYL5-FejyYVByMrG1AF5WJYvr6nQXVhUYAwVJtnyFjBhdaBiX9NOYZOzAlDJ8Le04VjhEPkgAAifnPZyUQhH6QyyNgwHjl9l28WS0B3pWJlMrmhkCesSyb7piufsYjH6A_MsSiQ/s1600/CherylChicken01E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Kdy-sYL5-FejyYVByMrG1AF5WJYvr6nQXVhUYAwVJtnyFjBhdaBiX9NOYZOzAlDJ8Le04VjhEPkgAAifnPZyUQhH6QyyNgwHjl9l28WS0B3pWJlMrmhkCesSyb7piufsYjH6A_MsSiQ/s320/CherylChicken01E.jpg" /></a></div> Cheryl spent the afternoon making a needle felted chicken.

Everyone loved this theme, and it was chosen for our June to October challenge, 20" max per side, any technique. No participation required, if you want to do an art piece, then please join us, if you don't want to, that's ok too. Peggy suggested, "A Path Less Traveled" again we all really liked where this could take us. Having a continuous path to connect all the pieces, like the River challenge, was also agreed upon. Sherry suggested we do more of a jigsaw puzzle, with curved edges and a path connecting them. I made a quick sketch to give you an idea.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihdHp2zX9FBGiYO03X_Gn7HJpqsMGjzwJLXL5XGJIz09TW0AVyupb_Brp3gDBrAd1tHVulD2VgZtWAdMGnsMC1VJSYY0NMfiQctiQRzqhuePleTDo2dWOMYL6Ybilmt3FTvbbpHLXS06o/s1600/PathLesTravE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihdHp2zX9FBGiYO03X_Gn7HJpqsMGjzwJLXL5XGJIz09TW0AVyupb_Brp3gDBrAd1tHVulD2VgZtWAdMGnsMC1VJSYY0NMfiQctiQRzqhuePleTDo2dWOMYL6Ybilmt3FTvbbpHLXS06o/s200/PathLesTravE.jpg" /></a></div> This will be our Big challenge for the April Umpqua Valley Quilters Guild Show.

This will be due at our March meeting. <b>Old Business</b> The wet felting workshop was postponed, several people who wanted to be there could not make it on Saturday. We will reschedule for later.

The one has 1/4" echo quilting the other a zigzag pattern. She will put them all together into one quilt when she is done. Sherry and Kay are recovering from lots of family & guests visiting for Kay's 80th birthday celebration. Crystal had quiet an adventure teaching painting to all 450 students at Hucrest school. She is an artist in residence for the Umpqua Valley Arts Assoc. She worked with one class at a time, each grade level had a different ocean theme. Up to 25 kids at a time, all at easels, with paint brushes flying in every direction. She is very proud of the art they made and each kid had fun and took home their finished canvases. Her new business downtown "Create and Sip" is doing well. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiti07WIHYwsVx1xHi3bBLipb6GqfkEnoAupV0gqO4e0DPU1OCywvE6W9fnCvdhxFbHv4jEzHaG2VdTSLE47gRFgLEvLJ9z0UgdevKK9p_xbk7ZnpQvFpdbcGZR3lm7O8y-3XeapJNBEo/s1600/ClareMicroBowlsE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiti07WIHYwsVx1xHi3bBLipb6GqfkEnoAupV0gqO4e0DPU1OCywvE6W9fnCvdhxFbHv4jEzHaG2VdTSLE47gRFgLEvLJ9z0UgdevKK9p_xbk7ZnpQvFpdbcGZR3lm7O8y-3XeapJNBEo/s320/ClareMicroBowlsE.jpg" /></a></div> An upcoming trip to England has inspired Clare to mass produce some gifts to take along.

She made a homemade gelatin plate, and tried acrylic inks on it. She said they were very different to work with than regular acrylics, she was concerned they would stain the gelatin. They did not stain, so now she will try them on the large Gelli Plate. She made a paper mask for the iris shape, and also used watercolor pencils to add detail. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXiJSI0vbBRp9MjMkigrP20A0FIpwZSzMdXtuiAD8-JTxOj4ZfvWRgPzwd1VLEHruQwl6Ar8xLFNoueCFIL6Yn-Qy09tO9FMX9n0oF5UuuxYXY0RphkjaoRQ_PuWAapAPZn8w3HJClFpk/s1600/JanaFireStarYarnE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXiJSI0vbBRp9MjMkigrP20A0FIpwZSzMdXtuiAD8-JTxOj4ZfvWRgPzwd1VLEHruQwl6Ar8xLFNoueCFIL6Yn-Qy09tO9FMX9n0oF5UuuxYXY0RphkjaoRQ_PuWAapAPZn8w3HJClFpk/s320/JanaFireStarYarnE.jpg" /></a></div>Jana has made her first skein of yarn on her new electric spinner.

They are a gift for her college roommate who has a thing about crows. A discussion occurred over how to keep the heels of homemade socks from wearing out so quickly, Cheryl suggested the heel and toe yarn be spun with a blend of stronger fibers, a nylon or silk blend. They will wear better and longer that way. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhByuHrZAnhQ08-9c2s9AIlHl4nG16U4T7sLza2SFQqsOwwgepfdxLfp0T4ZPi_L4bWcchoWn-cBH57MJUttU6GkDY2tU50joVxCPMw4Xak5ZlDRlpRWbXTBiH1GqOyiC6N2ptASg3ccto/s1600/ViNecklace04E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhByuHrZAnhQ08-9c2s9AIlHl4nG16U4T7sLza2SFQqsOwwgepfdxLfp0T4ZPi_L4bWcchoWn-cBH57MJUttU6GkDY2tU50joVxCPMw4Xak5ZlDRlpRWbXTBiH1GqOyiC6N2ptASg3ccto/s320/ViNecklace04E.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAIsHR-1wCwW4Xa9xJgtldJAvmEG6jUTMRTlNVjSx5F3G-NICEPyOQBf2odVoCORsMU9dkigF1fqC2FwtN_qEguGNhZIplWfK7OWKB9UEhYjVmnxbm4-wzAkRgEd4Qwe3mnWcnymOb33c/s1600/ViWearingNecklaceE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAIsHR-1wCwW4Xa9xJgtldJAvmEG6jUTMRTlNVjSx5F3G-NICEPyOQBf2odVoCORsMU9dkigF1fqC2FwtN_qEguGNhZIplWfK7OWKB9UEhYjVmnxbm4-wzAkRgEd4Qwe3mnWcnymOb33c/s320/ViWearingNecklaceE.jpg" /></a></div> Vi has brought several of her woven and beaded necklaces to show us.

They are from the book "Fast, Fun and Easy Fabric Bowls" She makes a cardboard template of a large or small circle or oblong with rounded corners. She uses canvas duck, stiff interfacing or other stiffeners for the middle layer. She often uses two layers of stiffener to get the effect she wants. She layers the top fabric, stiffener and back fabric, then makes darts to sew the shape. Or she quilts the top and stiffener first, then layers with the backing and makes darts. The edge is finished several different ways.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQwJsjKgqG7cPJrNzjUXcnvNszWAelYSXXj4_d8UI9bL8VavEa0qPfUdWyOi_woGriCDctb8HdiCFZupFkoQbgs0Hbt4EONcLgCg2_x3Cbbw5R9tOVsfatOd_EqxQTlZhiLJkWQOyF7U/s1600/SueHandStitchBowlE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQwJsjKgqG7cPJrNzjUXcnvNszWAelYSXXj4_d8UI9bL8VavEa0qPfUdWyOi_woGriCDctb8HdiCFZupFkoQbgs0Hbt4EONcLgCg2_x3Cbbw5R9tOVsfatOd_EqxQTlZhiLJkWQOyF7U/s320/SueHandStitchBowlE.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9xVnVVRf-OhJiPxjazgWdWDOhCqgFH5g1s9_-8Hty-sOSaHz7zELp9qT_l-nDfed2sDeQ9vj0opnorIoJxYT6BYddaiBj4SOgVOO0bBWmMCSjCSx_iGG3XaFlJpe3k3LEP0162fWi4_w/s1600/SueSquareBowlE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9xVnVVRf-OhJiPxjazgWdWDOhCqgFH5g1s9_-8Hty-sOSaHz7zELp9qT_l-nDfed2sDeQ9vj0opnorIoJxYT6BYddaiBj4SOgVOO0bBWmMCSjCSx_iGG3XaFlJpe3k3LEP0162fWi4_w/s320/SueSquareBowlE.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGK_qrzlN4gOLGkndIaSPgwaAkfKCrcLvYEkOG97a-N_4ButY_KAlCciMbfaZWlr2vYwBtHFeGvsRKYwwGYgfup6GuF7xC6bkM4X_JPTwqNPOi2CMekP1VB_Y6B_A2SYJBPsuCrCTUo4k/s1600/SueTopBottomBowlE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGK_qrzlN4gOLGkndIaSPgwaAkfKCrcLvYEkOG97a-N_4ButY_KAlCciMbfaZWlr2vYwBtHFeGvsRKYwwGYgfup6GuF7xC6bkM4X_JPTwqNPOi2CMekP1VB_Y6B_A2SYJBPsuCrCTUo4k/s320/SueTopBottomBowlE.jpg" /></a></div>The black floral one has hand embroidery on it before it was layered.

The "River Runs Through It" pieces will be displayed next at the Sutherlin Library. We decided to keep the "Fins, Feathers" & the "Flabergast" pieces together, and to seek out other venues at which to show them. Tracy will be storing them for us. <b>New Business</b> The Bandon Art Retreat is scheduled for Mon, Tues, Weds. June 22 -24. Talk to Amy to commit to going, money is due at the May meeting, the $100 is very in expensive for a retreat, and only covers the cost of the facilities. We will wait until June to have a new challenge. Get your ideas together. We will have an informal challenge for June through Sept. Then a formal challenge, that we would like everyone to participate in, for next year's quilt show in April. May's meeting Sue will show us how she does the large circular art bowls. We are planning a wet felting workshop at Amy's in June, and a dye workshop with Meredith in July. More info to come. Jana has asked if we want to participate in the Oakland Quilt Show in August, she will get us a booth to display and/or sell items. Tracy & Ryan have volunteered some display boards. We agreed to do this. Jana will have more info, as it gets closer. <b>Show & Tell</b> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_xEPJ6tq1DTaD62cYzHScadNVM2dyw5r7h57tRiBKne9VQsGIfOOg_pFO6BVCkqZmllkCvARIa9VVP4h1eRnizoWfWYprJNwbuSfsorqIZE0mrKkvG633i0-svS8k19YguTfF89Pn_0M/s1600/RustyFabricEnhE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_xEPJ6tq1DTaD62cYzHScadNVM2dyw5r7h57tRiBKne9VQsGIfOOg_pFO6BVCkqZmllkCvARIa9VVP4h1eRnizoWfWYprJNwbuSfsorqIZE0mrKkvG633i0-svS8k19YguTfF89Pn_0M/s320/RustyFabricEnhE.jpg" /></a></div> Amy brought in the results of her washer/rust experiment.

He has a new play toy, a Plasma cutter, and he showed us his wonderful cutouts done on rusty saws. He wants us to help collect rusty saws, wheelbarrows, shovels etc... for him to practice on. He has invited us out to their place, to try it out, sometime this summer.Amy Art Quilter & Fyber Cafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11676682258155326783noreply@blogger.com0
