Last weekend after our Fibervision meeting, Susan and I went to the Elverhoj Museum to see our show hanging for the last time. It was a great venue and I hope we can do it again in the future. One of my pieces sold, so I wanted to visit it for the last time. We exchanged UFO's for our second annual reVision challenge. I have documented all the before reVision tops and quilts. Stay tuned for the unveiling later in the year. The piece I have is a complete quilt about 48" square. I am having a little trouble cutting up a finished quilt, but I'm confident I will find a way to reVision this piece into something that will make Lorna proud!
Susan had a wonderful present for me, a beautiful rusty and overdyed piece of fabric. She has been rusting everything in sight with great success. I haven't had much luck, but I do have some old macrame rings rusting outside and will try again soon.
This last photo is a postcard that I received from Betyann. It is a Photoshop Manipulation PC trade from the Surface Design group. Betyann made a negative from an old family photo in Photoshop, printed it on Cynotype fabric and hand embroidered the flowers. Very pretty.

Wow, Judy! You may not have posted anything because the week flew by, but you sure made up for it with a real feast for the eyes today! Can't wait to see what happens with the rusted fabric - is there an homage to a smiling frog in your future?
Hi Judy, love the frog photo! The green/copper fabric beneath it reminds me of a frog as well. In fact, I hand-painted some fabric 2 summers ago very similar and created an abstract frog quilt with it. I should post it on my blog! I'm enjoying reading yours for the first time.
