Art Every Day, January 15, 2013
Good Morning,
Here is today's piece. I so enjoyed yesterday's stitched swirls that I wanted to do it again today. But this one just isn't the same. Should have stuck with just thread and no applique! I like the background of this one with its horizontal and vertical stripes. I stitched the verticals with wavy lines and the horizontals with straightish lines. I think the circle is a bit on the large size, but a CD is what I had in front of me for a template so I used it.
Well, I'm off to the Denver Art Museum to meet with some of the women who are putting together next years big fiber show. They want to feature some of my art and have me do some demos- yeah!
Till tomorrow,
Heather

This is a great background! It adds so much interest to have both wavy and straight lines for the quilting.
The hand-dyed palette you used gives the back a moody feel which seems to help push the swirly circle way out front.
Even though the white could be startling, the stitched swirl through it softens it, and the whole piece just proves how much power simple lines can have.
