Random Stuff


This was a really fun quilt to make!! It is called Sewology. I love all the sewing gadgets and it's the first big quilt I made that is all solids. Quilting is done by Carolyn and Jamie. I love the pattern they suggested.




These are some close ups before it was quilted. It sewed up pretty fast too!



I have been painting a bit too. The top one I made for myself and the bottom one is for my friend, Cynthia who lives in Arkansas. She loves color so this was an easy one to make!


I took a workshop this week with Donna Stufft. She was amazing! We all left with a finished piece ready to frame! I highly recommend her to your guild.


The garden is definitely done. I pulled out the flowers that were limping along in my front bed.
The Morning Glories will continue until frost. The deer will come along and eat all the leaves but not touch the flowers. That's because they are poisonous! I am pretty sure a while back people used the seeds as hallucinogenics..........


These are the cutoffs of my temperature quilt, another quilt in the making. By the time I am done there will be 730 of these small half square triangles. You can be sure they will turn into something!

  3. Watercolors are so tempting but I’m not allowing myself to go there...for now. I took a workshop with .donna Stufft as well. Really enjoyed her technique and want to do more.

  4. What a fun sewing room quilt! the quilting looks great too. Is it double diamond?
    Your paintings are just incredible. You have natural talent for sure.
    Your workshop piece is pretty. How nice to go home with a completed project. Was it thread painting on a painted background?
