Last week I visited Amy at her home in San Francisco which is about 900 miles to the south of mine. The days were busy with work and play. The weather was perfect. We went to a quilt show put on by the San Francisco Quilters' Guild, and we were inspired by the many quilts we saw there. We went to the 1000 Journals Project exhibit at MOMA. Sometime in the week, we went fabric shopping. We walked through the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, and enjoyed the beach where her two boys played in the water and chased a chocolate lab. We visited several parks. Everything was inspiration for color and line in our quilts. We drank coffee and even more tea. We ate, we laughed, and talked a lot about our work, sketching new designs, and sewing pieces together to see if they worked. Nine new projects were started, and now we will work on them both here and there. These photos show a peek at Amy's design wall in process.
Amy and Opal are two artists living in different states on the west
coast who have teamed up to create fiber art together. Their journey
and process is captured here.
Lovely fabric ~ such creative potential! I'm guessing Opal's stack is on the left and Amy's is on the right?
