Material Mavens: Lois' Time

Lois' Time

I'm on vacation trying to post this with my phone! When I thought about time I kept thinking about how life is measured by how fast we can all do things or get information. This thread painting has a lot of hand dying with inks incorporated into it. I'm happy with it. Sorry for the short narrative it's difficult doing this on the phone!

Your artwork is beautiful and meanigful! Hope you can tell us more about it when you get home. I would enjoy seeing the back so that we can see the threadwork there too. Your pallet of color is perfect!

Yes I can relate! I do feel like there's a stopwatch on me sometimes and I'd like to STOP it!!!! Great theme, coloring, and stitching. I love the way the stopwatch fills up the entire space as that's what it feels like as we race the clock! You are the best Lois!

I love this Lois - the composition is so dynamic and my very favorite color scheme. Hope I get to see the texture in person. I am so impressed that you were able to post as well on your phone. I tried it once and Alice had to do major surgery on my post to make it display correctly.

THE MATERIAL MAVENS

We are a group of art quilters who come from various parts of the United States, from the East coast and then south to Arkansas and Texas. We were inspired by the original Twelve by Twelve international art quilting group.

Beginning in September, 2011, we started posting our 12"x 12" art quilts, which were based on themes chosen in turn by our members. For Round One, we posted quilts every two months, always on the 15th of the designated months.

Round Two of The Material Mavens began in October, 2014. Some changes were made: quilts were posted every three months, and the quilts could be be either 12"x 12" or rectangular ones measuring 11" x 14", either horizontal or vertical in orientation.

Round Three of The Material Mavens began in July, 2018. Again, changes have been made. Now those members who wish to stay affiliated with the group are free to post quilts every time or every now and then. Two, our blog administrator collected suggested themes from the members who wanted to remain affiliated. These themes were then pulled at random from a "hat," and they were then assigned in order for the posting dates. Since we had 13 members who wanted to remain, we will be posting quilts every 3 months until 2021! This date is significant and appropriate, because 2021 will be the 10th year that our group has been in existence.
