"In the portrait of that house, the windows are eyes or pieces of the soul almost. To me, each window is a different part of Christina's life...there's an upstairs window that has a pink feeling. That's her bedroom. I wanted each one of these windows to tell part of the whole story-they were not just stuck in there by chance. Each has its specific role in helping to explain the overall personality of the portrait of the house and its occupants." ...there is a piece of glass that's dropped out of one of the windows, and I was fascinated by the clothes that Alvaro stuffed in a broken pane so the cold wind would't blow through." Alvaro's New England resourcefulness also reveals itself in the the rope and funnel contraption rigged up at the base of the drainpipe to carry water to the bucket outside the kitchen door. Wyeth has even recorded a symbol of his own involvement with the Olson house: Just above the kitchen roof are a few pieces of white siding patched in among the gray clapboards. According to Wyeth, "Those are out of my own house. Alvaro wanted me to repair it and I did" -Andrew Wyeth Andrew Wyeth [American Contemporary Realist Painter, 1917-2009] Second of three generations of Wyeth artists.

There's an imminent new arrival in our extended family, so it's time for me to get working on another version of my baby beach scenes. Simon suggested I incorporate surfing since the father is a keen surfer. That was the starting point for my designing, anyway. I ended up with this row of (potentially surfable?!) waves which will go across the top of the reef/water section, and I started by piecing them. I divided the waves into organic shapes, much like those I used in the much larger Australian scene and space quilts, which I could then piece from different colour water fabrics. The first step was to trace these onto mid-weight non-woven interfacing and mark some registration points along the curved seams to help piece thems evenly, then cut the pieces apart. After carefully selecting the fabrics to use for each piece (colour, and a smooth gradation was the main consideration)I placed the interfacing patter piece directly on the fabric and drew around it with a air-erasable marker, adding the 1/4in seam allowance by eye as I went. I then added the registration marks and the piece number with a fine-tip permanent pen before cutting it out. I've saved all the interfacing pieces in case I want to do the waves again. Then I pinned all the pieces in place on my pattern and checked I was happy with my fabric choices. Then it was just a case of gradually sewing them all together, carefully easing the curves. The wave section is all done now and will be pieced to the top of the reef/water section once that's done (the bottom is straight-ish).
