Having Fun at TAGY

I am posting this photo late.  Fun at a TAGY meeting earlier this year.

Yellowstone Quilt Fest

Last week we all attended the Yellowstone Quilt Fest in Cody. Also, this TAGY group combined meetings with the Montana based Women of Artistic Vision (WAV) group. Jane Neale and Linda MacDonald gave the program which was Pioneer Dolls, made from old sheeting and scraps of lace, ribbons, etc.

Everyone had fun with the scraps and the impromtu dolls are shown.

Many of the members of both groups won prizes on their entries at the quilt show. Entries were too numerous to show here, but it was a record breaking quilt show and the Cody Auditorium was full to the brim with gorgeous quilts.

Photos from the August meeting of TAGY were not posted earlier so here are a couple. Marybeth is demonstrating her program as Jeanne looks on. We all tried metalwork with materials Marybeth provided.

Good News

Oh... I forgot my good news, I was invited to be part of Fast Friday Fabric Challenge!

Ok, I realize Yellowstone Quilt Fest is upon us, especially those of us that are working to get it going but I also believe that we should all be posting our work.

So here is "After the Fires" I really do not like this piece, it is not my vision at all. I have had it pinned to my design wall for months and it has not gotten any better. So, my plan is to try it again with a different background. It may not be the background that is not working. My thoughts are that it is the red tulle I put behind the trees. I quilted it and then burnt it back. I am now thinking that I might like it better if I burnt it back and then quilted it. What do you think?
