<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Normally
December would be a time of getting things into place. Getting them
together. Tax receipts. Almost finished quilts. Articles that have to go
out. The teaching is done for the year, and all those tasks impossible
in the travel have to be done.</span><br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y96QXFpFLLs/Ttk2_IVJ1jI/AAAAAAAACQw/FBR6oRc_Ep4/s1600/22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y96QXFpFLLs/Ttk2_IVJ1jI/AAAAAAAACQw/FBR6oRc_Ep4/s320/22.jpg" width="247" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This
December, add to that I'm getting ready for Thread Magic Garden, my new
book from C&T publishing to arrive in January. There's a flurry
of newsletters, articles and new work that has to be in place.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">In
the middle of that muddle, I'm trying very hard to realize that the
best task is simplification. So with that in mind, I'm putting all my
blogs into one place. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I
know that some people just want information, some people want stories,
some people want a place to check for schedules, and some people just
want eye candy. You'll still find it all here at the <a href="http://ellenanneeddy.blogspot.com/">Art Outside the Box</a> at
ellenanneeddy.blogspot.com blog. I've put in a cloud label so you can
find what you need easier. And I'm very curious as to what you think.
I'm hoping you'll let me know.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">All the blogs have been fed into this one. I'll still show you wonderful Lunatic Fringe people, color studies, funny stories, fabulous techniques and amazing embroidery. But, we're getting together. Right now.</span></div>Ellen Anne Eddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03884881913053881049noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705535996602868535.post-20336560478398219412011-08-27T09:39:00.000-07:002011-08-27T09:40:05.589-07:00Thread Magic Studio on Facebook<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sle9_vwg9z8/Tlkc1a7K2GI/AAAAAAAACKE/SfishFAggEY/s1600/756+Dancing+in+the+light.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sle9_vwg9z8/Tlkc1a7K2GI/AAAAAAAACKE/SfishFAggEY/s400/756+Dancing+in+the+light.jpg" width="341" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Currently I'm posting information I would have normally posted on this blog on Facebook at</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you've been to a class or lecture with Ellen you know she tells fabulous stories. This is a little cautionary tale about gardens, small towns, differing values, war and peace.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you've pre-ordered a copy Ellen will be shipping it over the next couple days.</span><br />

But The Beautiful Beast Lecture is different. Instead it's the stories of why someone did a quilt.Basically, it's an answer to the question, "Why is there a bug on this quilt?"So I was looking for great stories as well as great images.</span></span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Normally I'm all about the quilts.But there are times when you just have to party and this is one of them.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">St. Guinefort was a greyhound saint. He protected his family to the end and was sainted. There was a bit of a flap about him being a dog, but I know many more dog saints than I do people ones. And dogs, of course, are people too.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">People who know me know I am privileged to live with three fabulous greyhounds as well as 4 cats. Though my dogs do not always wear their halos, any good greyhound is, of course, a saint.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Recently I've had some difficulties with some unpleasant neighbors. The silver lining to this cloud has been the help and support of my community and my friends. It seems the best way to deal with bad energy is to pour out joy and love. Will you come help me?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">So for August 22nd, the saint day of St. Guinefort, I'm having a party to bless and celebrate my dogs, my yard and my community.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />

For if you become a teacher, by your student's you'll be taught. The King and I</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vihgxbhsh_A/S-v1SvOeXGI/AAAAAAAABbg/fgMQtPNNZ9M/s1600/jenny%27s+quilt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vihgxbhsh_A/S-v1SvOeXGI/AAAAAAAABbg/fgMQtPNNZ9M/s400/jenny%27s+quilt.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">For years I've offered independent studio time to folk who want to come and learn just what they want on their schedule. Classes are great, but they are a group thing. I make an effort to work with the people who want to do something special and different in class, but a classroom day is about what the group wants to do. As a teacher you pass their desk, help as you can, and wish there were more time in the day.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">So studio time is so much more focused. In a classroom you're a teacher. But in studio time, you can be a mentor.</span></span><br />

When I asked her what she'd like to learn she said "Everything". And that's what we did. We dyed fabric. we worked on color theory. She did a piece with two magnificent bobbin worked fish. She played with organza, Angelina Fiber, and painted lace. She helped me design a new piece that was a portrait of her called Genny in the Fall, which she's taking back with her to Australia. We worked on zigzag embroidered appliqué. She had a torid romance with Finnie, my greyhound. And she sewed endlessly into the night, getting up whenever her machine called her name. She stayed for a whole wonderful week.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">One of the things that made the week work so much better is that Genny is a Bernina girl too. She has a 440 Aurora at home, so when I sat her down to my 630 she was right at home. Berninas are a universal language. She sewed like a mad woman.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Genny's not a famous quilter, yet. But she has the passion that I think will someday take her there if she wants. Most of all she knows how to treat herself to the things that give her joy.</span></span><br />

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">The lecture is The Beautiful Beast.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">I have lectures for lots of reasons. Several are about technique. One is about living as an artist. This one lecture is about how animal symbols translate into our lives through our work. I haven't given it in a while, and I would like to freshen it up.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">I'm looking for quilts that have animals in them and have interesting stories about them. Funny, sad, weird, lovely, whatever. I'm not concerned about technique or style here. I would rather a broad range of both. Nor am I looking for quilts like my own.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">I do need this to be original work. It can be inspired by someone else, but it can't be something from a kit.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">The story is, in it's own way, as important as the quilt. This is a lecture about stories, and I'm looking for good ones. Please send your stories with the pictures.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">If you have a quilt you think might fit in and you'd like me to show, send me a 72 dpi image at 450 width one detail, one full shot. Please make these photos with nothing but the quilt itself. I'd also like a 500 word (give or take) statement with the quilt's story and its technical information. My choices will, I'm sorry to say, be completely arbitrary and my own.</span></span><br />

</h2><h2 style="font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I'm so excited to have a quilt in this book. Collections like this tend to define the art quilt world as it swirls through it's changes. Art quilting has grown since the early 70's into an amazing art form. It's been a privilege to be part of that development. Each year brings new skills, visions, abilities, and focus. I've been teaching now for over 20 years. When a book like this includes my work, I can't help but feel honored.</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vihgxbhsh_A/S04Q50OszdI/AAAAAAAAApY/1bJ-lbCfafE/s1600-h/658+Hunter%27s+Moon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vihgxbhsh_A/S04Q50OszdI/AAAAAAAAApY/1bJ-lbCfafE/s640/658+Hunter%27s+Moon.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vihgxbhsh_A/S04RrgMg1RI/AAAAAAAAApg/RTkT5mpbINo/s1600-h/658+Hunter%27s+Moon+2+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vihgxbhsh_A/S04RrgMg1RI/AAAAAAAAApg/RTkT5mpbINo/s320/658+Hunter%27s+Moon+2+detail.jpg" /></a></div><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;">The quilt they chose was Hunter's Moon 2. Hunter's Moon overlaps several series. I've been working on a series of elongated shaped quilts because of the design possibilities. But it also was part of a series of flight at night quilts. It includes many media I've been exploring such as Angelina Fiber, hand-dyed cheesecloth, and of course thread work as solid imagery.</span></b></div><div><br />
