I decided to post a few older quilts that are perfect for July. Here in northern Indiana we are having our hot humid weather typical for the season. Outdoor activities can be challenging! I am managing to keep up my walking if I go early in the morning. At least most days anyway. The county fair was this past week and I enjoyed that although it was very sticky and hot. Anyway here’s a few pieces I made eight years ago, they were inspired by photos I had taken in Florida. It’s always fun to revisit creations made a long time ago. Hope you are all enjoying your summer the best you can.

My latest is the first photo of screen printing fabrics. The sailboats piece is my SAQA auction donation, then a few other art quilts. Each of us would probably be surprised at how much we actually create if we kept track of it. &nbsp;<br/> <br/> Sent from XFINITY Connect App<br/> <!-- (DWIM) attachments start here --></p> <p class="asset asset-image"> <a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://www.christinepredd.com/files/img_2366.jpg"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e008d20c4f88340224e03b3af4200d img-responsive" alt="IMG_2366.JPG" title="IMG_2366.JPG" src="http://www.christinepredd.com/.a/6a00e008d20c4f88340224e03b3af4200d-580wi" /></a><br /> </p><p class="asset asset-image"> <a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://www.christinepredd.com/files/img_1851.jpg"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e008d20c4f88340223c84c95a1200c img-responsive" alt="IMG_2366.JPG" title="IMG_2366.JPG" src="http://www.christinepredd.com/.a/6a00e008d20c4f88340223c84c95a1200c-580wi" /></a><br /> </p><p class="asset asset-image"> <a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://www.christinepredd.com/files/img_1917.jpg"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e008d20c4f88340224e03b3af9200d img-responsive" alt="IMG_2366.JPG" title="IMG_2366.JPG" src="http://www.christinepredd.com/.a/6a00e008d20c4f88340224e03b3af9200d-580wi" /></a><br /> </p><p class="asset asset-image"> <a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://www.christinepredd.com/files/img_2050.jpg"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e008d20c4f88340224df344372200b img-responsive" alt="IMG_2366.JPG" title="IMG_2366.JPG" src="http://www.christinepredd.com/.a/6a00e008d20c4f88340224df344372200b-580wi" /></a><br /> </p><p class="asset asset-image"> <a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://www.christinepredd.com/files/img_2025.jpg"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e008d20c4f88340224df344377200b img-responsive" alt="IMG_2366.JPG" title="IMG_2366.JPG" src="http://www.christinepredd.com/.a/6a00e008d20c4f88340224df344377200b-580wi" /></a><br /> </p><p class="asset asset-image"> <a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://www.christinepredd.com/files/img_2201.jpg"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e008d20c4f88340223c84c95a6200c img-responsive" alt="IMG_2366.JPG" title="IMG_2366.JPG" src="http://www.christinepredd.com/.a/6a00e008d20c4f88340223c84c95a6200c-580wi" /></a><br /> </p><p class="asset asset-image"> <a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://www.christinepredd.com/files/img_2212.jpg"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e008d20c4f88340223c84c95ab200c img-responsive" alt="IMG_2366.JPG" title="IMG_2366.JPG" src="http://www.christinepredd.com/.a/6a00e008d20c4f88340223c84c95ab200c-580wi" /></a><br /> </p><p class="asset asset-image"> <a class="asset-img-link" style="display: inline;" href="http://www.christinepredd.com/files/img_2285.jpg"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e008d20c4f88340223c84c95b0200c img-responsive" alt="IMG_2366.JPG" title="IMG_2366.JPG" src="http://www.christinepredd.com/.a/6a00e008d20c4f88340223c84c95b0200c-580wi" /></a><br /> </p> </div> Colorful weaving sample tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e008d20c4f88340224df2d033e200b 2018-04-23T08:11:27-05:00 2018-04-23T08:11:27-05:00 I hung this sampling section of my current weaving over a studio window.

This is fun, working on this colorful weaving with my new wavy shuttle which creates curves instead of a straight line across the weaving. This is my first attempt but I don’t think it will be my last. I’m using up bulkier yarns in my stash. Anyway even though it’s April and it’s snowing outside I’m thinking spring and summer. Reminds me of a carnival or celebration!
