Petroglyph pillow sham

Our TAGY group is not able to meet again this month, but we still continue to be creative and make beautiful art.  Thank you to those who have shared their creations below.

Marie Shirley-Jones
This is an old pillow sham that I did all sorts of things to and then I added rusted fabric to make the bird-headed person petroglyph.


Pam Harris

I was asked by the Anchorage art quilt group, Calendar Girls, to submit a quilt for their yearly challenge and calendar. Their theme: Go Crazy. Theme was chosen last fall long before the world went crazy.

All the fabrics are dyed, painted, stamped, stenciled and/or silk-screened. Most of the embellishments are from garage sales.




Pam joined an online Fabric Postcard group that has monthly challenges. For May (1920’s) I chose Art Deco and decided to do the Cody Theater sign. Theater was not built til the 30’s but utilized a style from the 20’s.







June Postcard challenge 1930’s
Pam researched new words of the 30’s and thought spam would be a fun subject. No one really says what exactly what the acronym stands for but the favored is SPiced  hAM.

zippered pouch - top purple one was a class then made the remaining for gifts;

Here are 3 photos of what I have been up to.
I've been without a machine for 3 weeks so I have been painting.

The bird is some Jacquard paint on organza.

I have been doing mostly yard work and genealogy lately, but have also started two Veterans lap quilts.

Have a great summer. Hopefully we can meet again soon for our regular monthly TAGY meeting. Miss you all!
