I received a birthday gift in the mail from a former Meteorology student that I have kept in touch with over the years. Gina always remembers my birthday. I received a coloring book, pencils, and a card in the mail yesterday. It was a great surprise. She even wrapped the gifts.
I finished quilting the Van Gogh inspired oil refinery quilt. The quilting went well. The sky was quilted with a blue poly from Superior threads and the water with red King Tut from Superior thread, The buildings were quilted with invisible thread.
Close up of the quilt. I just need to add the facing and sleeve.
My new quilt added to the energy series. Hard getting photo straight on since they are in a stairwell. Now to come up with a title for the new quilt. Any ideas?
My husband's ideas:
"Starry, Starry Night?"
"Starry Future Night."
"Starry Scary Night."
Any of these?

Love the Van Gogh inspired piece!
ReplyDeleteSomething about the red and black feels so powerful and forceful. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI think Starry Scary Night is perfect. This came out so well - a great addition to your series. They look so good together.
ReplyDeleteThis definitely adds to the energy series. It stands along also. This whole series is so appealing -- it's amazing how wonderful basic hard, big equipment and buildings look in an art quilt. I can't wait to see what comes next. Maybe it's time to do something with a space craft or the gantry after the craft is shot to the sky.
