Beaumont Area Fiber Artists September, 2019

Beaumont Area Fiber Artists met, showed work and set their agenda through the end of the year.
Our journal word for September was Vista (fig. 1- 5).  Show and tell projects, including work-in-progress, were shown and discussed (fig. 6-12).

Golden Triangle Quilt Guild missed out on their September speaker and workshops with their guest, Velda Newman.  She and guild member, Susan, were stranded at the workshop chairman's house (Linda), unable to leave thanks to the wicked tropical depression left by Hurricane Imelda.  Linda, Susan and Velda were able to stitch and play during their flood-forced incarceration (fig. 13-15).

New Stitched Paper Collage

I have been wanting to do another stitched paper collage landscape for awhile.  For the fast and fun bit of whimsy below, I was inspired by the PBS series, Poldark, which was filmed Cornwall, UK.   I never got to Cornwall on any of my UK travels so I don't know if there are actually clifftops on the moors.  My interpretation is a fantasy.

Papers used in this were a mix of painted paper towels, coffee filters, dryer sheets, deli papers, and dye catcher sheets.  Additional paint highlights were added after the composition was completed.  The design was composed on muslin substrate then quilted onto Peltex stabilizer.
