Calamari, Anyone?

Sneak Peek!

On another note

I don't usually do this, but yesterday something nice happened and I want to share. I went to the website www.winfabric.com to see why they'd be following me on twitter. Turns out they have nice fabrics, and a contest. Every Friday some lucky sewer wins 2 yards of fabric, this week it was me.
It's colorful, cheerful, bright, for the dreary winter days ahead. I don't know quite what I'm going to do with it yet, keep checking back here to see what it becomes.

Mother's Day

I spent it the way I wanted to. Newspapers, coffee, danish, Mike, Morty, Mitzi, Krista Tippet.
Wonderful church service, and a Ted's steamed cheeseburger in the back for lunch.
Then I came in and finished the top to the Holiday Bazaar Trinity Quilt. Yeah!

Sneak preview!

Watermelon Quilt

One of my present projects. This is the beginning sketch for the Watermelon Quilt, 164 - 6inch blocks.














These are the fabrics laid out, ready for cutting.















Fabrics are cut into strips, and the assembly of the blocks begins.

It's been a while

since something has been posted. Little projects have been taking too much of my time lately, but I did manage to layer my next queen sized quilt.
I call it "Creation Theory meets Evolution".

Here's a preview.

Chair, Part 2

A regular office chair, torn Naugahyde, rusted legs, transformed. Seat and back are magenta and black faux leopard print fur, trim is chrome yellow polyester. Naturally shed antlers are painted with 2 coats primer, 2 coats latex paint.

Bubbles!

The soothing blues and greens of this quilt ease the Summer heat. The bubbles in the border contrast and soften the hard edged blocks in the center. The quilted circles tie the quilt together. Quilt is %100 cotton, polyester batted, hand appliqued, machine pieced center, hand quilted. Bunny comes out to play. Quilt is 40 x 52 inches, and was donated to my church for use as a fund raiser at the Holiday Bazaar. (Click on quilt to enlarge picture)
