Having fun experimenting with scrim and paper in Karen Ruane's class Extending Embellishment. Some more images below. Click for a closer view.

And a heads up on some quilting shows available for free for a short time:
Big news here! In honor of International Quilt Day (March 17, 2012), The Quilt Show (

Fab dye pot result Deanna!
Looking great! Too much fun. I am still waiting on the arrival of my silk paper.
Deanna, this looks like fun play with papers! Love the color catcher sheet...hugs Nat
lovely experiments. it is amazing what a dip in the pot can do.
oooh I love the lacey holes & webbed overlay on the lokta paper, thought the spiral on the white looked good before it went in the dye pot too & that doubled up interfacing is doing good things, you are doing such inspiring experimental work Deanna!
Experementing is the most exciting part of my creative life, there are no limits to what we can do, and the results are often not only interesting but astonishingly beautiful.
I like very much the 'dip in the pot', I am partial to stitched and dyed cloth.
great experiments happening!
It seems you've been having great fun with your experiments!
Oh, a curious mind...discovers A Lot!!!! Those spirals just pull me in :)
Hi, Deanna. Experimenting is so fun. I especially like the one that went into the dye pot. Did you say that it was a "failed" piece? Hardly!
best, nadia
I'm so far behind in reading blogs but i wanted to stop and write to tell you how lovely your work is turning out. the colors of the dyed cloth and your stitching with karen is something to be proud of. can't wait to see what's next. cheers
i'm not sure why that piece is considered "failed"? it's beautiful, but the dyeing made it amazing! i'm thinking of ancient trees.
and thank you for the heads up about the quilt show!
