I’m not even going to go into why I haven’t posted since what, early 2019? If you live in the USA you probably know it has been shall-we-say “weird” for a few years.
So I’m just gonna jump back in and pick up here instead of where I apparently left off… I wouldn’t even know how to recap that anyway. Here’s where I am now:
As always, Viewpoints 9 has been a source of friendship and creative inspiration. The fact that there is always a challenge going on has pushed me to complete projects. Some months, those pieces were literally the only things I got done, creatively. The latest challenge: Instead of 9 installments of 8-week challenges, we are to create 3 completed “works” within 18 months. The size requirements are: 30 x 30in, 30 x 60in and 48 x 60in. Notice the 3 works do not need to be 3 quilts. We can make multiple pieces but they have to fill those dimensions. Each of the 9 artists in our group has chosen and committed to a personal theme. Our 3 works must fit into our personal theme, and should be created to hang together as a group.
What’s my theme? MACHINES

WOW I have spent a peaceful hour looking at your creations. Every stitch is simply beautiful. You have a gift!
Kate, I’m glad to see you back blogging again. I couldn’t agree more about how disastrous the past four years have been and look forward to seeing a grown up in the White House. Your pocket watch is terrific. You’ve always made great pieces inspired by machines.
