I'm back to working on little my quote collages, which I'll make into a book for a show in February in Louisville. The theme of the show is "Homegrown Stories," so each artist is making a book to go along with the stories theme. Plus we'll have our regular art.
Here are some of the completed ones, although I keep going back to add more to them so maybe they're not really completed.
I really look forward every day to working with the bright colors! And since it's handwork, I can take them anywhere. And since they're small, it's so satisfying to complete them quickly. This happy pile is on the ottoman in front of my TV chair, so I stitch them in the evenings.
I've been collecting the quotes for years and they've gotten me through hard times, given me a kick when needed, and made me smile.
Here's the latest one all pinned and ready to embroider:
They've taken over my cutting and painting table and I love it! This is the first thing you see when you enter my front door, so there's no doubt that a creative lives here.
Update on my mom: She's doing great in her new home, playing bingo, making friends, enjoying not having to do anything. They started giving her in-house physical therapy for a hip that's been bothering her for years and she's walking much better now. My brother took this picture of her a few days ago.
Have a colorful day
