I know I know, I’ve been a bad blogger.

No excuses except this one….I have had a touch of the flu the past 10 days and haven’t had much energy for anything but the absolutely necessary. I know you don’t want to see pictures of that!

A group of wonderful  women have been spending their Wednesdays at my studio for a few weeks now, they are taking my Textile Illustration course and creating great work. I really enjoy seeing the way each of them  use the techniques we have sampled and explored.

Dorothy is working on a piece inspired by some “city eagles”, she has altered the original image with exciting results.

Monica is creating a design inspired by a tree near her home.

and Cheryl is building a most amazing forest!

Everyone has been working really hard…. well almost everyone!

I have made a bit of progress on my cherry blossom quilt, all the bits and pieces have been appliqued in place and I have started on the second coat of paint.

The 3 blossoms on the left have had their second coat of paint and ready for the next step… the 3 on the right will get done this week, that’s my plan anyways.

Bye for now, Catherine
