Hello Summer! Hello to wearing silly hats and enjoying Annie’s garden!
This quarter’s challenge is to capture the essence of summer in a textile representation. Realistic or abstract, large or small, practical or not, it’s a free choice.
Summer is a time to sit and enjoy the view;
to feel the sand between your toes;
to walk in the shade of trees in full leaf;
to dine al fresco on a warm evening;
to eat home grown fruit
and to bring summer indoors with garden flowers picked in July.
This little summer study, in felt and machine stitching with a little bit of acrylic paint, was done by Annie back in 2016 and was inspired by the bees buzzing around the chive plants on her patio.
To recap – the challenge is to make a textile piece that says ‘Summer’. Realistic or abstract, large or small, practical or not, it’s a free choice.
