Sumac

I love the red sumac plant.

I am adding it do Dana's quilt.

It adds such a nice pop of color.

Yesterday I blocked in 20 small art quilts

for the holidays. Now to get back to the big

quilt today. Time to add foliage to the trees.

I am still trying to think through adding pine

needles to my pine trees whether to stitch or

fuse fabric. Both will be the final answer.

Today the show ends in Lafayette and I have

to go pick up my work. We will also pick

up a grandson and bring him home for the

weekend. He will have to find his own way

back to the university.

Well have a nice day.



Dana's Quilt with trees

 I got some trees on Dana's quilt.

The second from the right I am trying to get

to look like the catalpa tree by my husbands

chicken house. The swoop of the branches is

pure grace.  I will work on the trees today.

I think I need to lighten the background too.

Out will come the paints.

Sometimes I wonder what I would do if I ruined

the quilt with paint but not to worry just use more paint.

Well off to the studio. 

 Yesterday I got half of the background quilted

on Dana's quilt. I am liking the colors. I cannot

decide if I want pine trees or the curvy Catalpa

in the foreground. I am thinking the Catalpa.

 I also think it needs a touch of Sumac.

She likes red.

I like red sumac too.

Well I will have a full day to quilt today.

My daughter thinks I have too much bruising to

get my weekly massage today. (Sigh)

Next week for sure I will be back on schedule.

It was 28 degrees today. wow.

But it will be sunny today .

Well off to the Studio.

Nature is beautiful

 More of my ride around my yard.

I can find beauty close to home.

This shot I think will be entered in the photography

show in December. The branch of this tree is pure

grace. Speaking of grace my daughter brought

me some flowers yesterday when she brought

my groceries. My family thinks my face is too

scary yet. Don't want to scare the kids.

 It should be back to normal color by

 Saturday. The flowers are perfect. A pale pink.

 I love the color. My daughter knows me well.

 Another photo of that branch I love how the chock

cherry tree glows through the branches. Hopefully

it will stay sunny so I can get some more fall

color today. So nice to have a day of rest. I am

making homemade bread  and poached eggs for

lunch. Crusty artisan bread with real butter

and peach jam from our Michigan trip.

Today is a good day. Monday I will spend

the day quiting Dana's quilts.

Have a great Sunday I am.

A good book some rest and photography.

Perfect
