If life is exploration of the world around you, I want to do as much exploration as I can!

Contemplations

Seems like this has been the busiest year of my life, in every area. My slideshow I added has the WIP of Autumn's Glory Days. I am finally getting to work on it again and hoping to have it finished for our quilt show here in southeast Kansas. Some things have been added, some things removed. I am 3/4 of the way through the threadpainting of this quilt.
Right now it is at the stage when I am not happy with it. It always seems to be so lacking when part of the threadwork is done and part hasn't begun. Plus the minor distortions during this time are maddening. I am using a midrange tonal value for most of this landscape because of the time of year I am trying to interpret.
I do so love autumn with all its colors and feeling of change. I hope my quilt will convey those feelings to people who see it. I am personally in such a state of change myself and vacillating on what direction I want to move in.
My one constant is my quilting and wanting to produce more work. I seem to be in a growth spurt and I find it exciting and sometimes disconcerting. Happy quilting!
