Thursday, 17 February 2011. Ski-ing and New Projects. Just back from our annual ski holiday. This year it was just us three in La Plagne, in the French Alps. The hotel was the Terra Nova in Plagne Centre. It was different not being a group of friends but still a great holiday. Alex our son loved it! It was really hot too, so apres ski in deck chairs was particulary relaxing! Took lots of photos for possible future projects. The Bellecote Glacier scenery was just amazing!

Saturday, 22 May 2010. The collaborative of work including my brothers through Signal Films had opened on Thursday evening with the preview.

Tuesday, 26 October 2010. Whilst I was doing my invigilation stints at Artgene I managed to learn a little more about their Design Cafe. It is really interesting and would love to join them on Sat 11th Dec for their walk, it starts at the cemetery and onto Sandscale Hawes Lousey Point for a meal in one of the black huts! On with the new projects now and finishing off little textile projects that have been ongoing at home. I have to finish off scanning my old 35mm slides onto the computer so I can pro...

I am now working on the next small art quilt which is for The Great Northern Quilt Show in Harrogate in Novermber. I am entering the themed section which is 'Beside The Sea' this year.

Rachel Capovila: July 2010
http://rachelcapovila.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 19 July 2010. I have away camping and to London to visit family over the last few weeks so I have not had much time to work. I have even missed a few guild meetings because of this! However, I did manage to make a summer skirt from a piece of remnant material in my stash for going away with. Just a simple 6 panel a-line with a side zip and narrow waist band. I used a vintage 1970's pattern. Looks good I think. We had drinks on the House of Lords cafe terrace overlooking the river! Cabin Fever - M...

Tuesday, 12 July 2011. Projects to be Finished and New Ones to Begin! The Firebird quilts have been returned and they do look better than I remembered! There are a series of famous Japanese 18th century wood block prints of different views of Mount Fuji. The sea features in many of them, the most famous being 'The Great Wave'. I had decided to update this image into a quilt. I have used applique and reverse applique with heavy machine embroidery. There is a lot more to do with the crest of the waves,...

Wednesday, 24 August 2011. Quilt Sent Off to The Great Northern Quilt Show 2011. Unbelievably the Tsunami quilt has been sent! I have been ill for a while and felt really lethargic and disinterested so at one point it was touch and go if I was going to finish it. It turns out I have a thyroid problem and anaemic! So in the first weekend of September the quilt will be exhibited alongside others at Harrogate. Labels: art journal quilt. Great northern quilt show. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Awaiting...
