Introducing....Miss March for the Sydney Quilters Guild 2010 Calender.

Still Life with Picasso #1 - first in a series of slightly abstract quirky still life studies with a leaning towards a cubist style.

(Fancy sentence means I like it and I am going to do more of these wonky kinda ones!)

12" square and painted on calico using Liquid Radiance from Genesis Creations ( available thru my Retail Therapy in the main menu).

Outline stitched in black and then heavily stitched in to the different geometric areas created by the intersecting design lines.

The others in this series of 25 Picassoesque follow a similar style and colour combination with a variety of everyday objects - finding design potential in the seemingly ordinary. Each piece will have the Black and white floral wallpaper make an appearance and my signature dragonfly of course. Can you find her in this piece?

Thank you the Quilter's Guild of NSW for selecting my colourful piece for the calender.

See you all  at the the Quilter's Guild of NSW annual exhibition extravaganza at Darling Harbour June 10 to 14. Come say giday as I will be there as the Featured Artist for 2009...14 of my works past and present will be on display within the Guild area and I should be available for Floor Talks each afternoon from 3 to 4 pm to give insight into my creative process and answer any questions you have. If you really want to hear more from me, come to the gala dinner Friday night and during your meal I can entertain you with my quilt " song and dance" routine.
