Three panel quilt going to Chicago.

I got notification yesterday that this quilt and the 

Wolf River quilt are accepted into the Midwest Marvels

show at the International Quilt Show in Chicago.

I was one of 29 entries accepted.

I am amazed.

I will also be doing 2 segments of Open Studios.

Just sitting there for 2 hours and do what I love.

While the audience watches and ask questions.

I am doing Photos on Fabric and

Paint and Stitch mixed up in a quilt.

Hopefully I do well. I am an introvert after all.

I decided I needed some flowers for Valentines.

So I reached back into my photo archives and

found these beauties. My daughter sent me  these

one of the times I was sick.I think this is the loveliest

bunch of flowers ever.

Have a great week end.

Farmhouse Restaurant Art

 Here are 5 of the 7 pieces of Michel Keck's art

from the Farmhouse Restaurant in Fair Oaks, Indiana.

She is quite talented. 

I love the industrial  collages she puts together.

You can see bits of Americana in them.

Door knobs, cogs, paper and metal mesh.

Clever.

 Her abstract paintings are so cool. 

I hope you enjoy a little art show.

If you are in the neighborhood anytime

till the end of March stop in a see.

They are open 11 am to 9 pm, closed Mondays.

Friday Afternoon's Art.

I hung the new show at the Farmhouse Restaurant

on Fair Oaks, In and I had the afternoon free.

So.

I found this photo printed fabric in the UFO drawer.

I spent an hour or two stitching this little piece

of summer. This is a photograph off the dock at

my cousins lake house in Battle Lake Minnesota.

A pleasant end to the week.

Looking forward to summer even more.

I love sunsets.

Life is good.

I have spent a quiet weekend just relaxing.

My husband took me out for brunch this morning

to the Strongbow Inn in Valparaiso, In.

They are noted for their turkey dinners.

Brunch has everything though.

Cold boiled  shrimp, a whole cold salmon to

pick meat off of, roast turkey, mashed potatoes,

biscuits and gravy, omelets, bacon, sausage and

too much to mention.

Also an awesome dessert table- fresh cherry pie.

That was my choice.

We are in a food coma. It is nice not to cook.

Just enjoy the food and they do the clean up.
