But this month its going to be different. It has to be different. I am endeavoring to finish my curves piece to enter in the Quilts = Art = Quilts show sponsored by Schweinfurth Art Center. (Not that I expect to get in but I love this venue and fully intend to support it!) Plus I need to get back to my Masterclass which I find immensely fulfilling (yes - I know you all realize I have a love/hate relationship going on with this class - but what can I say? I'm a sucker for a challenge -grin!)
So in that light, I continued on with the curves, finally working into new territory with it. The last month, I've gone over each section - redrafting and repiecing them so that they fit together nicely and are ready for the final quilting process. Its a long and very boring process but I think finally its coming together. I'm so glad the spray starch gave the pieces the stability they were crying out for.
I also decided on which sketch to do for my rhythm exercise. Elizabeth liked both (which I was glad about). I think I'm going to do one this month on a smaller scale in hopes that it will be a nice mock up for a larger piece.
But alas, between medical appointments this week, I didn't get to actually start on it - but I promise I will in time for next week's post!
So what have you been up to creatively?

Oh my Nina Marie! Your piece is beautiful. I cannot wait to see it in its final glory!
Looking good, Nina-Marie. I have looked over EB's blog and I cannot for the life of me figure out which sketches are yours.
Nina-Marie: I'm too busy to post an update this week. But I still love checking everyone's work. You always collect the best of the best on your link up. Thanks for organizing this each week.
This is looking really good. I love the shading you have achieved in the smaller piecing. I've never tried using starch so having read this, maybe I should!
Looking forward to seeing the finished piece.
