One of our Wednesday evening art students, Leslie, reimagined Martin Johnson Heade’s Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds from 1871 and made it her own by recreating it into a collage piece. She painted each small piece seperately and then adhered it to a canvas raising it slightly. The effect is amazing! She even used small bits of moss to dangle from the upper trees. Great work Leslie. The patience you exhibited really paid off. It’s fabulous!

Our painters created these lovely “Bluebells by the River” paintings at yesterday’s Paint Party. Great! And it was fun having a couple work together to create the diptych so they can hang them together. That was fun! Check out the upcoming events at The Studio here.

Last week I shared that I had started a third quilt top while at the retreat in Pennsylvannia and that I was working on my 1961 Featherweight. (Read about it here.) When I got home I set the little machine up and continued to piece the Baltimore Square quilt top. I was enamored with this pattern. I’m not sure why but ever since I saw it I wanted to give it a try. So I finished the top a few days ago. I love that I did it on that sweet little Featherweight. And of course, Lincoln helped! I’ll send this one out to a longarm quilter soon and when it is finally completed I will share the final result. Oh, and yeah, there is over 2800 little 1 1/2″ (finished size) blocks in this quilt. 🙂
