I managed to get to the first day of the AQC and saw some lovely works.
One of my favourites was in the Korean Style Quilt section. I love the design, reminding me of looking down at a city from a height.

Once again, the ladies who develop their quilts from collages were there. Collage to Stitch. I am very interested in this technique but find that you can't just sit down and make good collages - more practice needed, therefore more organisation and space needed.
I made a small piece for the Self Portrait exhibition. The quilts had to be 25cm x 25cm, not very big.
I had a piece mostly made from years ago.
I have been doing some blind contour drawing of faces.
I also saw some lovely blind contour wire portraits while I was overseas. Both mentioned in this post.
So I did a blind drawing of myself, including torso. I sewed it onto soluble fabric and attached it to the base. Then I put the borders on and entered it. I was very chuffed to be accepted and see it on display in person.
The statement is: Sometimes following the rules is too exhausting.
