I previously mentioned the Round Robin quilting project my daughter’s Fiber Divas group has decided upon for this year.  They’ve all been working on it, and Beth has posted her first quilt in response to quilter Marilyn’s theme.
Check out Beth’s Meandering Threads New Quilt post to get a look at this very interesting piece of fiber art.  In Circle Doodads, she answers a viewer’s question concerning some of the embellishments.  This may give you an idea of a simple, ordinary object you can use to enhance your projects.

It’s Round Robin time again for my daughter’s quilting/fiber art group, the Fiber Divas.  Each year they try something new as they each contribute to one another’s work in Round Robin format.

My daughter and her fiber art friends planned their gathering last week and organized their latest Round Robin venture.  Each year they partipate in something different.  (I’ll tell you more about this in another post.)

 Quilters find many sources of inspiration, and pictures of unusual buildings often play a role.  In this year’s round robin for my daughter’s quilt group, each quilter submits a photo and the others design small quilt hangings inspired by it.
A photo of an outhouse has yielded interesting results.
Check out Beth’s Meandering Threads blog, particularly the post, Quilt Group Pictures, and see two fiber artists’ variations on the outhouse theme.  The group meets again this week, so perhaps they’ll have more outhouse designs to display…along with those inspired by other photos. 
What unusual pictures or objects have you used as quilting or fabric …read more
