Our artistic endeavors

Beautiful work, Kay! Thanks so much for sharing. Nice reminder for me to sit, relax and crochet a bit.

Where do they go? Nowhere in particular. I quit giving my pieces away unless I think it's something my sister might like. I ask her first. She does appreciate the work. No one else really wants them. I do get some things professionally framed, some I keep in my sewing room here to look at. They're mostly just for me and the hubs to look at. I just enjoy making them without any particular intended recipient.

Although I did donate a piece once to a fundraising auction; it got $400!

On another note, I feel sad that Jane's post is only a couple of posts away. Pointing out how old since this thread has been updated, but also how much I still miss Jane's posts.

I know...I noticed that. I miss her too. :(

My latest finish. Oh, my aching fingertips! Can't get it to rotate. The bird should be on the right.

that is lovely. The little hummingbirds are so inspirational. I like how the flower is just sketched in.

Yesterday I won first place with this floral design. Our assignment was to interpret a piece of book cover art because our show was held in a library.

This is the book cover art:

Wonderful interpretation and execution, Iris! Good on you!

Love that, IL! I'm sure you have a special skill for interpreting book covers!

Kay: I love your hummingbird! Is it embroidered on a tablecloth, or a piece of clothing, or as a picture or?

IL: What a perfect interpretation! Our local garden club does a "Books in Bloom" annual event at our library and oftentimes the arrangement doesn't seem to have much relation to the book.

Our flower show at the library was themed “ Books and Blooms” so same idea. If they have that flower show at the library each year they may have become tired of having a book theme.
