Fyber Cafe displayed three of their challenges at the Umpqua Valley Quilters' Guild Show. The guild is so wonderful to allow us display space, they say people look forward to seeing our stuff every year. The first challenge was 2015's "Fins, Feathers, Scales & Tails." We had thirteen entries in this challenge, and they were all extremely creative.
Dorie's's proud rooster, struts with raw edge applique and thread painting. His name is "Fancy Pants."
Jana has fallen in love with thread painting, the texture on this crow is awesome. The background is one of her hand dyed fabrics, and the poem is printed with rubber stamps.
Taking this saying to heart, has made Jana very independent.
Kay's needle felted masterpiece is layer upon layer of leaves and flowers. She has hidden various animals in among the foliage. It deserves a close look to see all the details.
"Yumm!" is the title of Lorraine's delicious looking lobster. All the various reds work together to add texture and details.
What fun this must have been to make. Meredith's jaunty fish has a devilish grin.
Floating on a hand dyed background, Peggy's first mermaid, is embellished with yarns and fibers.
This red head is joined by some lace fish, as Peggy embellished her mermaid with yarns and fibers.
Sherry's flock of feathers hang from driftwood. Each individual feather invites you to notice the differences between them.
Sue's Hedgehog is so cute! His body is a paper pieced spiral with embroidered details, and the strip pieced sky and grass offer contrast to the round hedgehog. The leaves are thread painted and 3-D. This was a fun challenge and resulted in a variety of different techniques and images. The second challenge this year is "Free Floating Flabergast" so check back to see the next post.
