Fall
We have had a bit of a reprieve from the heat today. I do believe fall may be on its way although our summers often fool us by heating up again in October. Still I shouldn’t complain – our weather is beautiful. It had been too warm for working in the studio and so I have been… Continue reading Fall
Fuse and quilting
This little pieces was made before I did much fusing. It was a move away from hand applique and sadly the results were not what I planned for. But it ended up having a lot of dimension and I’m happy with the free motion quilting. That was really fun, no plan, just go for it!
The back of my quilts…
Every since I began quilting on a machine I have felt liberated and I don’t worry so much about my stitch uniformity and length. It does depend where the piece may end up and whether or not it is for competition or sale; where the stitching does indeed matter. I heard a quilt maker say… Continue reading The back of my quilts…

When she showed this photo to me I knew I had to post it. I always say… Continue reading Doggy in the workplace
Finally…
I’m finally sharing this little quilt. It was entered in a magazine contest but was not selected. Not too long ago I heard a successful wedding photographer say that “Photographs of the bride and groom wearing their wedding rings was passe, sooooo 1970s.” I understand what she is saying. I have seen rings staged in… Continue reading Finally…
Sun prints
I have been spending a little time volunteering at Awesome Camp, a summer day camp near my home. For the past two weeks the kids have learned about fiber art and how it relates to themselves and the world. Today they made sun print bandanas and they rocked it! The more I look at these… Continue reading Sun prints
Hot days and garden time
Although I have been quilting up a storm (This is the back view of my most recent painted whole cloth), we have had warm days and I’ve spent extra time out in the gardens. There has been a kitty hanging around ( we have name it “The Cat”) and she is trying to adopt us… Continue reading Hot days and garden time
