Progress, Dates and a Mouth Watering Award
Making Progress
I’m a week and a half into my 7 weeks of intense studio time as I prepare for my upcoming solo show.
I have 4 large textile paintings basted and ready for quilting and a 5th in design. I’ve started quilting the first piece, the one I’ve selected for the show postcard, and things are going well. I’m mostly on track and think I will meet my schedule.
Things can become quite a mess when working this much, as is evidence by my work table above. I know, not really all that messy, but for me it is, as normally I keep table tops clear. When things are organized I’m more efficient and I think more creative. I don’t waste energy finding things so I can use it all for creating art.
Save The Date
My solo show will run Feb 17 – March 17 at Macky Gallery in Boulder. The gallery is only open 9-4 on Wednesdays and to ticketed patrons of the Macky Auditorium.
Best chance to see the show will be at my opening – February 21 from 1-4pm. I’ll be giving a gallery talk at 2pm during the opening.
Mark your calendars now and more information will be coming with directions and parking info.
Number 101
I intended to include on my list of 100 accomplishments of 2009 my winning of the award for The Most Gorgeous Mouthwatering (MGM) Studio of the Year from Making a Mark but somehow forgot.
Thank you Katherine for the award. I love my new studio and so glad you loved all the photos of the construction.
Making a Mark is the most amazing and mouth watering blog by Katherine Tyrrell – if you are an artist and aren’t reading this blog you are missing out. It is a huge honor to be included in this years award winners.

Lisa, Thanks for the link to Katherine’s blog. I will have to spend some serious time reading it – so much information! Your work table doesn’t look too bad to me. I know when I am in the throws of working on a project my studio gets to be a real mess. I just don’t want to take the time to put anything away. Once it gets so bad that I have no more room for any more piles of fabric that needs to be put away, I will then stop and clean up.
Your 100 accomplishments are so inspiring to read. Makes me feel like I need to jumpstart myself! I see you have another pile of scraps growing. Let me know when you want to sell them again!! I have another quilt going with the rest of your scraps and it’s looking very beautiful so far. I’ll send you a pic when it’s complete.
I don’t always post a comment but I read every entry. Love your blog!!
Cherie
