I have put together a first draft of my January art quilt, which will most likely end up as a wall hanging. I've been pinning pieces of fabric to a sheet of foam core, then leaning it against a wall which I pass by frequently. This gives me a quick impression of what stands out as blatantly out of kilter and which parts seem to "flow". Even seeing this photo has made me see some things I want to change. I've added some fabrics to the original mix and eliminated the leaf shape I thought I would use - that will be used in some future piece. So far, I'm happy with the general look. I didn't, after all, use any hand painted fabrics. I do want to finish it by the end of the month, so I'm keeping it simple!
We had quite a snowstorm in Massachusetts yesterday. The trees are heavy with snow and it really looks like a winter wonderland. I'll see how hard it is to maneuver out there in a while when I go out to tutor!!

Looking great Judy. I see some very interesting fabrics in there.
ISN'T CREATIVITY WONDERFUL!!! Your wall hanging is unique and intriguing! Am I to understand that you are still working on this?
I have been making little friendship books for our Women's Retreat this weekend. I have 9 of them to do and I would love to embellish them even more than I have. They are turning out nicely, but I just don't have the extra time. As Women's Leader, I other things to accomplish.
OH AND DID I RECEIVE SOMETHING SPECIAL YESTERDAY!!! MY VALENTINE KIT...and is it ever so sweet! I can't wait to come back from Retreat and begin to make some magic! THANKS SO MUCH, JUDY, FOR ALL OF THE WONDERFUL GOODIES! I am soooooo blessed!

This is what I love about blogging...I would not think of using foam core when designing a quilt. That's a great idea. This is going to be a beautiful quilt.
What rich, rich colors, Judy. Looks like you are on one creative roll, here! Am a first time visitor, and enjoying your blog. I so agree with your blog world observations, in your Creative Plans post, too. Well said! You visited me near Thanksgiving, and I am just now able to get back to you. Great to meet you! Have a super day. :-)
