Art Squared: ICON
http://artsquaredgroup.blogspot.com/2014/10/icon_30.html
Wednesday, October 1, 2014. I thought and thought about this theme and finally came up with an iCon as I was using my iPad and iPhone. The Mac apple symbol is very prevalent in our home. Plus, apples are so yummy this time of year! The apple and blue background are made out of felt and the borders are cotton. I used losts of thread work for shading. The piece is 11" x 11"..

Art Squared: Heirloom
http://artsquaredgroup.blogspot.com/2014/08/heirloom.html
Friday, August 1, 2014. This is what I think of when I hear Heirloom: Crazy Quilt, old laces, and Mother of Pearl buttons. The Piece is 14" square. The fabrics are an assortment of fibers with the only qualification being that they were gray or black. Finishing Lines by K.Sperino. August 2, 2014 at 1:46 PM. Beautiful Sandy. Nice uniformity keeping to the gray/black theme with the pretty lace and buttons. August 3, 2014 at 4:13 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Heirloom Hankie by Sue Pelland.

Art Squared: June 2014
http://artsquaredgroup.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 2, 2014. I instantly thought of thread play when I heard the title Geometric. I love the look of zentangles and find it relaxing to draw them. This also reminds me of Spirograph, bringing back those childhood memories. It is 8" by 8" with free motion quilting using a silk batting. Sunday, June 1, 2014. I started this project with no ideas in my head, but this is what transformed. This is how it got started.a simple 9 patch.then a little cutting, sewing, cutting and sewing.

Art Squared: novelty heirloom
http://artsquaredgroup.blogspot.com/2014/08/novelty-heirloom.html
Saturday, August 2, 2014. This little project is a vintage linen napkin that was hand dyed. I used wool scraps and purl cotton threads to create the freeform design. The embroidery was done using threads Sharon had given me from a vintage sewing basket. Below is another heirloom piece I had started for this challenge, but unfortunately I waited too long to quilt it after marking it with my air erase marker. You can find additional information on my blog here. Finishing Lines by K.Sperino.

Art Squared: April 2014
http://artsquaredgroup.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 1, 2014. After the winter we've had in NE, I knew my piece for the natural theme would relate to spring. Can't wait for my daffodils to bloom! Photo transfer on silk. Braid made with the Diva Kumihimo Loom. The word this time is Natural which to me always means something that is growing. The flower is dimensional petals in a suede. The center is a button. The background is a cotton sunprint. The binding is a stripe I found in my stash with a metallic gold through it. I love this bird.

Art Squared: October 2013
http://artsquaredgroup.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 2, 2013. Mystical struck me as I was walking on the beach in Plymouth at my sisters house. We came upon a work of art created from the oceans water etched in the sand. The movement of water carved the perfect fossil. I chose a muslin because I felt the affect from the rough fabric would suit the image. I then used thread play to create the fossil and colored pencil for shading. I added stitched flecks of opalescence thread to add a sparkle that is seen naturally in the sand. It was dis...

Saturday, August 2, 2014. Heirloom Hankie by Sue Pelland. When I saw the theme for the heirloom challenge I immediately thought, "heirloom tomatoes" just like Susan Freund did. Then I went to search my fabric bins for tomato colors, rich reds, oranges, yellow and greens. If any of my ancestors had thought ahead, they would have left me these precious family heirlooms! I guess I will have to shop antique stores and create my own heirlooms and stories to go with them! Finishing Lines by K.Sperino. This is ...
