Here's a close up of the piece I made for the 2020 Stittsville Library show. It measures 12 inches by 15 inches (30 cm X 38 cm). It's called Finding Comfort in Nature. I made an eco print on watercolour paper and scanned it onto white cotton fabric. Then I attached it to a hand painted piece of blue fabric to use as a background and did some hand and machine stitching. Click on the image to enlarge. Look at the posts below for more of the Stittsville 2020 show. Thanks for having a look!
I went back to the library to take a few more photos of the ones that weren't as clear. Please note you can click on the photos to enlarge them and see more detail.
Here's Suzanne's The Way Forward and Frances Taylor's work Home Sweet Home:
Below is a closer photo of Frances' work:
Next this is Kathy Lajeunesse's Movement in the Field:
And Roberta Russell's piece Country Living During a Pandemic:
I hope you can visit the show. It's on until December 31st. Stay safe and well everyone!
Every year for the last few years I've organized a show at the Stittsville library for Out-of-the-Box Fibre Artists. We hung it up today and it will be up until December 31st. The theme this year is "2020: Year of the Pandemic." Members were encouraged to make something related to the theme or to contribute something they made this year. Hopefully some people will be able to go and visit it. But in case they can't here are some photos. Here's a photo of the approach to the gallery area:
And from another angle:
Here's one wall of the show:

I do encourage you to go to the library if you can because everything looks much better in person. But if not in the meantime stay safe and well!
