Roberta Ranney: September 2012
http://robertaranney.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 13, 2012. Sentinel (18" x 22") is my most recent work. I received my much-awaited box of hand-dyed fabric from Ellen Anne Eddy last week and this fabric immediately jumped out at me. It makes for a beautiful night background. Her fabrics often have the feeling of a light source which contributes a lot to my enjoyment of the finished piece. This work is available at Waverly House Gallery in Springfield, Missouri..

Roberta Ranney: August 2012
http://robertaranney.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 30, 2012. This small quilt (16" x 20") jumped into my mind a few weeks ago. The front is completely free-motion stitched. The little saw-whet owl is thread painted and all the pine needles are thread sketching. The moon is composed of angelina fibers. I'm on my way to Waverly House Gallery to take this latest work. I may have to make another for myself because I'm very fond of it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Springfield, Missouri, United States. View my complete profile. IRIS IN THE GRASS.

Roberta Ranney: Sun Tiger
http://robertaranney.blogspot.com/2012/03/untamed.html
Monday, March 26, 2012. This piece is my entry into a juried show coming up soon. I thread-painted the black areas on the butterfly on top of white fabric. That is not one of the best decisions I've ever made. Of course, the white showed through. So, in addition to thread, I painted the black with black fabric paint. The pale yellow areas are also fabric paint. The piece is about 20" square. Another winner, Roberta. Just stunning. Nothing wrong with a little paint. Just the trick. Art by Rhoda Forbes.

Roberta Ranney: The Richest Chord
http://robertaranney.blogspot.com/2011/12/richest-chord.html
Saturday, December 10, 2011. I belong to an art quilt group that has been making 12" x 12" challenge quilts for the past year. Our most recent challenge was to base a quilt on the theme of music. I had a number of thoughts but decided to try to depict my favorite chord in fabric. As you can see, my piece grew substantially beyond 12 x 12! It is 18" by 45" before adding the border/frame. So I hung it in my living room and kept it for us. Labels: 12 x 12. December 11, 2011 at 1:42 PM. A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
