In Dreams I Slept in a Cabin, New Work in Progress

It's a new work for you, but I've been working on it, off and on, since 2014. I was filming an instructional Quilting Arts Video workshop and some segments for Quilting Arts TV.

One of the techniques I demonstrated was collagraph, using found objects to make a plate, then using a Gelli plate to print onto fabric. I made a bunch of these prints as step-outs and finished prints.

When I was back home I finished the step-outs and printed some more of them, in various colorways.

I also did segments on cyanotype printing, and did a bunch of these fern prints.

I had vague ideas of using all of these in a quilt as some point--they were all good prints and made me happy. So from time to time I would stitch on them, using detailed outlining and echo quilting.

Somewhere in there, I also started a felted river panel. Here's the first layer of wool roving on a piece of rayon/wool felt. Doesn't look like much yet, but this is comparable to the underpainting for a painter, it's setting up the forms and base colors.

Much more to come, stay tuned!
