Art Round Robin Project

Months ago our group decided to take a piece of art, blow it up really big, cut it into sections and each of us take two sections and make them however we wanted to. Then we would put the sections all back together, quilt the thing, and put it in the Guild show this fall.

I was skeptical, but decided to have fun with it. I did and r edid my section about three times until I finally got it the way I wanted.

Tonight we finally got a look at all the sections pieced together and quilted. It was gorgeous. And so amazing how the different styles, fabrics, techniques all came together and just look stunning. It's exciting to see.

I'm very proud to have been a part of this project and would highly recommend the same to any group wanting to make a truly striking group project. The artist who painted the original work is coming to our next meeting. I can't wait to meet her in person.

Our next project is "flowers". I'm stunned at how much two of our members have already done. I haven't even been able to think of what I want to do, much less starting to put ittogether. Poppies is taken. Rose is taken. Sun Flowers is taken. LOL. I guess I'll just have to make up some f lowers.

Sunny who's had too much caffeine and cookies to settle down tonight.

)))) -- perfect opportunity to do hydrangeas! Just think of all those little circles of fabric sewn to a ground fabric with a little bead in the center -- spectacular 3-D effect! There's lots of fabric out there that has hydrangeas as the focus, too :-)! HMMM -- I might just have to do something like this for myselves -- LOL! CiaoMeow >^;;^< CiaoMeow >^;;^<

How about wisteria or pansies?

I love those pieces where each member takes a part of the whole and then it gets put back together! I have seen several and they were great. My group is not willing to do something like that. The two who get things done are very traditional nothing leaning towards art quilt, and the other two don't even stitch much - for them our group is mostly a social group. Oh well, we have lots of fun and swap wonderful gifts at birthdays and Christmas.
