I have finally defeated The Cursed Project<\/a>! But it was a close call. I was at the Hausarzt<\/em> on the Friday before for something completely different, coughed a bit, and as punishment was given a PCR test and told to isolate until the results came back negative, which of course they did. Waste of 28\u20ac. Anyway…Saturday night we went to the Fresinger Volksfest<\/a> with a clean conscience, and Sunday afternoon to the Patchworkmesse<\/a><\/em> in Erding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As four of my pieces were on the small side, we found them in the upstairs gallery: the first three together by the light switches and security alarms as you walk in. Couldn’t miss ’em.<\/p>\n\n\n

Yes, this is the first time you are seeing these hand-stitched pieces in full (detail shot from 2021<\/a>). I was planning a dramatic Big Reveal for April, before I got derailed<\/a> and then distracted.

The Blue Okto<\/em> is painted onto a piece of plain white fabric and stitched and finished with techniques I learned from Susan Shie<\/a> in 2004, when she was transitioning from intensely hand-stitched and beaded pieces to air-brushed cloth paintings. While we were admiring it, another quiltmaker asked me how I made the little circles on the tentacles. “With a very small paintbrush,” I said, or at least tried to say. The look on her face may have been horror. Heh.<\/p>\n\n\n

On a different wall in the gallery hung The Cursed Project, which I named “The Yellow One” on the entry form because yellow sounds friendlier. Two ladies asked the white-gloved volunteer to bring it closer, but I couldn’t hear what they were saying. It’s enough to know it piqued interest.<\/p>\n\n\n

It took us awhile to find the Scrapbag Hexagons<\/a>, which I called “Calico Flowers”. It was in the basement by the bathrooms. [eyebrow emoji] Fair enough; the overall workmanship this year was much higher than in previous Septembers, and my stitching on this one looked below average.

(I am looking a bit clich\u00e9 these days. Please scroll past.)<\/p>\n\n\n

We had some time to kill before we were able to pick up the quilts at the end of the show, so we had a late lunch at the Gasthaus zum Erdinger Wei\u00dfbr\u00e4u<\/a>. The brewery Erdinger Wei\u00dfbr\u00e4u is famous in European winter sports, where the non-alcoholic version is used as an isotonic recovery drink<\/a>. We had the wheat beer brewed especially for the Erdinger Volkfest.

As I could not decide between Fleischpflanzerl<\/em> and K\u00e4sspatzen<\/em>, they brought me both, and it was amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n
