Structures #70 and #71

Today I had to ship my pieces for the Quilt National gift shop so the past week I’ve been working to get 2 new pieces finished to replace Structures #69, which I had planned on sending but it found another home.
So along came Structures #70 and #71. I don’t usually work small and I think in many ways these pieces are much harder than my larger pieces. Getting the shapes and lines how I want them in such a small space is difficult for me. But give me a huge area and I have no problems getting things to work.
Although it is nice they are small as the quilting is much faster.

Another small yellow quilt with dark lines. So you might guess that my piece for the big show is also yellow with dark lines. It is. I hadn’t thought about it before but my piece, Structures #31, in Quilt National 2005 was also yellow. Maybe yellow is a lucky color for me. I’ll post an image of this year’s piece when we get closer to the show, which opens memorial day weekend.
I’ve also printed up postcards of the quilt (Structures #55) and I’ll be sending those out to my mailing list in mid May also. If you’d like to be added to my snail-mail mailing list and receive an occasional postcard of my work just send me an email (link in the sidebar) with your name and address.

These two lovely pieces look just like the fields around us here in the south of England: I passed flax growing next to an empty field primed and ploughed, and we can see the yellow fields of rape seed flowers across all vistas in this year of early blossom. Good luck with selling it all at the QN show.

I have really enjoyed all of your posts this week. #70 and #71 are great - you can really see your quilting. All your hand dyed fabric - WOW!. Arranging them from light to dark was such a great visual. It made me think about what I am missing from my pallet. Good luck the next two weeks at NC. I can’t wait too see what you are able to come up with. The weather has finally warmed up at night here in Ohio. The tulips shoud be beautiful for you!

It is so fun to see these close-up like this! It is amazing - and I see why people say it looks like fields.
Good luck!
