Sneak Preview of New Commission

8/25/2020

Thought I would take you on my journey to create a new fiber art piece for the Denver Health commission so here is where I am today.

My mission is to complete a piece measuring 3 feet high by 12 feet wide by November 1, 2020.

The first step was deciding how to do this.  I decided to make 4 mounted pieces, each measuring 36" x 36".  I thought making one piece this size in fabric would be difficult to mount (fabric is heavy!) and also difficult to quite and square up since I don't have a table that size. 
 
Once I had the size, I could figure out how many squares would fit into the square.  the easy choice was 3" squares but I though only having 12 letters in each row would hinder my ability to add a many words and phrases as possible so I settled on 2-1/2" squares and that gave me 15 letters to work with on each row.
​
Then came the researching of the history of Denver.  More on that next week but here are the first 6 rows of the first piece.
