Rachel's Realm: A Reason to Celebrate
http://rachelparris.blogspot.com/2010/06/reason-to-celebrate.html
A place to roam, ramble, and share. Tuesday, June 22, 2010. A Reason to Celebrate. The first weekend in June was a special time for us. We traveled to the Tampa area to celebrate the much anticipated high school graduation of our youngest grand nephew! When we got home, I realized I had NO pictures of the family, No pictures of the food, but I did have this close up of the wine. My only defense is that we had already enjoyed several glasses before this. In 1905. There are now several others in the ar...

Sally Troxell: Art Quilts: Last Two Pieces Complete
http://sallysartquilts.blogspot.com/2012/08/last-two-pieces-complete.html
Sally Troxell: Art Quilts. Thursday, August 30, 2012. Last Two Pieces Complete. This morning I finished the last two quilts for the show tomorrow at the Baranov Museum. This quilt has been in the works for a very long time. I printed the distant mountains and the birds on commercial fabric, then it hung on my wall waiting for inspiration. I intended to add another border beyond the arch, but I didn't have enough fabric. Sometimes the best inspiration comes from necessity! Sunset Over the Mountains.

Sally Troxell: Art Quilts: Print Day
http://sallysartquilts.blogspot.com/2012/11/print-day.html
Sally Troxell: Art Quilts. Monday, November 12, 2012. I had not printed for a very long while. In fact, since I printed flags for Kristin's wedding, which I do intend to post about, at a later time. I have used some of these screens and stencils before, but as an afterthought-on top of the block prints. This time I decided that the screen and stencils should be printed first.. I printed the largest of the stencil waste that I have. The one on the bottom, farthest right will get halibut printed on it.

Sally Troxell: Art Quilts. Thursday, May 24, 2012. Last summer I posted these pictures of flags that Kristin and I printed. They hung in her yard all winter. This is what they look like now. Not too bad. But it looks like they have done their work. Interesting how the red and fuchia have faded to nearly the same color. Links to this post. New Work, May 2012. 14" x 12 1/2". 34 1/2" x 19 1/2". There are two red quilts in this batch of work. I was just having too much fun with the rich reds, and I proba...

Sally Troxell: Art Quilts: August 2011
http://sallysartquilts.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sally Troxell: Art Quilts. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. I live in a very small house. When something is not in use, it gets stowed away. Once I got out all the gear for dying, I can't stop until I am done! Some of them don't have as much variance as I would like to see. The next batch I will try mixing the dye for each step. More work, but if I get better results.These are all fat eighths. Mixing each stage, I will do larger pieces of fabric. This piece was yellow, bound with rubber bands, then dyed in red ...
