Christmas Quilt

 I finally have my laptop back. Happy.

My desktop needs to go back to the tech.

Computers!  how dependant we become.

This is a new quilt I made for the Farmhouse Restaurant.

I used a photo of my backyard pond as inspiration.

To add that holiday sparkle I used gold leaf.

I especially like it on the edges of the oak leaves.

Notice how wonky my quilt is.

I find that piecing is difficult for me.

I am too hyper to do the meticulous work required

for precise joining. Must work on that, slow down and

be more careful. I took my show with the big quilt

down yesterday. Brent and Brandon  my grandsons

helped me. What a joy to work with them.

They also helped  Barb and a couple of other artist

carry their work to their cars.

They know how to work and only need to be told

once what to do-then they took charge.

They will do well in this world.

Than I took them to Red7 a awesome restaurant in

Lafayette.  I try to meet with them and Brad down

at Purdue University  once a month.

Red7 is our meeting place.

Great memories.
