Shelia's quilt is done

 I finished Shelia's quilt yesterday and block in another

fall art quilt. I just love the colors in the new one.

 

I must quit doing refection's  It seems like I start and it

has a will of its own. Like the colors though.

I may be gone for awhile I have a sore stomach

again and am running a fever. This is the 3rd

infection in 3 months and the last time the Doc

threatened me that it would be IVs in the hospital.

I hope not but this time I am running a fever.

So if you don't hear from me for awhile you know

where I am at.

Off to Ohio

 Here are a few of the 14  mini art quilts I am sending

off to Ohio Craft Museum's gift shop for the

Holiday season they will make nice Christmas gifts.

I worked on the one for Shelia Klinker yesterday.

 I am making her a fall scene.

She is such a nice person and always comes to my shows.

I love fall it is my favorite season.

Yesterday I delivered Minnesota Prairies to Muenster's

Solon show and saw some interesting pieces of art.

On the way home I stopped at Sam;s Club to buy

a roasted chicken for supper and came out with

meat for the freezer for winter. Fall makes me want

to cook. I bought a whole ham to make potato

 chowder for the freezer. My husband told me we

will have over 300 pounds of potatoes. Wow.

Russets, Yukon's and reds. I think we will be

sharing some. I love to fill the freezer than when

I am busy in the studio at lunch I just take something

out of the freezer put it in the crock pot and

at 5 we have a hot supper with no effort from

me and I get the afternoon in the studio.



Been too busy

When I miss blogging you know I have been too busy

Such is life. It seems to fly by so quickly. I was

looking through older photos of some paintings I

did 3 to 4years ago. I can see where I have improved

and grown. Looking at the colors I see my

favorite season is autumn. I seem to use these colors.

 I get inspired with new ideas just looking at the photos.

The watercolor below has been my favorite I am sad

that I sold it but I can look at a photo to recall.

The movement was so free.

Than dried leaves from the chokecherry tree by

the pond  mmm just lovely.

I am glad someone is enjoying this one.

I can't keep them all.

 I think doing another art quilt of this painting below

 would be good  It has such good colors.

BUT first I have 2 quilts to make for friends.

They need to be out of here this month.

Than I will work on the big one. I figure it will

take me 6 months. One month for each panel.

So leaving out December which is taken with

the holiday - I should be done by May 1st.

I sure I will sneak a few small projects in between.

I will mail a big box of last weeks quilts to

the Ohio Craft Museum tomorrow for their gift shop.

Well I will be off to the studio to get something

done.

805

 I spent 5 hours today applying 805 to 35 yards of]

of fabric 17 inches wide. This is for my next project.

Flowers and refection's.

I like the color palette.

Red is a new color for me.

 I really like the batik in the middle.

So much color. a happy fabric.

should be interesting.

Tired and going to bed early.
