Missing more than 2 consecutive days from my studio results in discombobulation when I return. So this week hasn't been as productive as I envisioned it would be last week. I've finished the top for the Oliver Lewis quilt and am working on a 2nd quilt top (also of O. Lewis) that will be done in Dye-na-flow paint. I applied No-flow to the cotton top today and hung it to dry. No-flow prevents the Dye-na-flow paint from wicking on the cloth.
I pulled from my pile of unfinished pieces to audition threads for this piece. The size is about 24" x 36". I thought it was going to be easy peasy tight straight lines but after a closer look I'm thinking not....

To consider some wonky geometric thread lines I doodled and played around with color...
Tomorrow is a health advisory due to heat and high ozone...Other than going to the eye doctor with Peter, I'll be at home tinkering with digital images.
I just love the colors in the last three pieces, and your lines are great. What is the process for the coloring of these pieces? Good to see somebody has been busy designing and experimenting.
