Getting Together
12:57 PM | 
Posted by
Ellen Anne Eddy
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.
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.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.
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 Art Outside the Box 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.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.

The Town of Torper is Here!
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.
If you've pre-ordered a copy Ellen will be shipping it over the next couple days.
Ellen illustrated this book with her embroidered tapestries,full of frogs, butterflies, caterpillars, and incredibly vulgar, but lovely, day lilies.

Some Beautiful Beast Quilts
Some Beautiful Beasts
A while back I asked folks for some pictures of their beautiful beast quilts to freshen up a slide show of mine.Slide shows are kind of like make up.They need fresh images every so often to keep them interesting and current.
Most slide shows you offer to guilds are about how you did something. 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.
Although most of the quilts are my own, any lecture is much stronger when you add other people's considerable vision and talent.Here are some of the fabulous quilts people sent me. I was bowled over by the work they sent.
I chose quilts that fit into certain categories and had the best stories and the clearest pictures. I wish I could have used them all, because they were all fabulous.
I promised the people I chose for the lecture a CD copy of the lecture. This was foolish because I neglected to ask for their physical addresses. So I will be sending out a downloadable copy of it to you through YouSendIt. If you wish a hard copy, please email me with your physical address.
This little slide show is not the full lecture. It's a showing of the great quilts people shared with me.
Thanks again for sending your lovely work to me, so I can share it with the quilters who come to my lectures!
