The year 2015

 When I sat down I though oh well 2015 I did

not accomplish much.

 Than I started to look through my photos to see

 my production for the year.

I had the CHAIRS show in Lafayette.

 Lots of small art quilts and also big ones.

I especially liked the Red Chairs one.

 AT the end of the years I am working on the Morning

Glory project.

 The new fall art quilt of this gorgeous yellow tree.

 The small blue heron

 Lots of flowers passed through my gardens

and brought many a smile to my face.

Lots of ideas for 2016.

 Flowers made their way on to many quilts.

 Some Jane Dunwold influence.

Many sunsets here at Cedar Ridge.

 

 Birds were prevalent in my quilts this year

 Beach scenes.

 Bright colors.

 This is one of my favorites.

 The grain bin series.

 Works in progress.

 Than teaching at the International Quilt show in Chicago.

Also showing 2 of my larger quilts  Wolf River

and Floating on the River.

 Wolf River was in the AQS calendar.

 Some of the Chairs show.

 More of the show

 One I kept.

Blue chairs.

 Blue skies

So all in all I did finish a lot of art quilts

even in a year with lots of family distractions.

Just a normal year.

I wish all of you a Blessed and Happy New Year.

Morning Glories

 Squeaked out a few minutes on the Morning Glory

quilt this morning. I am liking the colors and

now need to add highlights to the flowers and leaves.

This will be a job for Friday.

Holidays take up time.

 I am thinking of entering this small quilt in the AQS

Chattanooga show. I love the heron and the water.

Today is massage day.

Tomorrow will be cooking for Thanksgiving

Day. Not much time for art this week.

Just time for family and loving on a new

great grandchild.

Sumac Ridge

 Sumac Ridge and Minnesota Hills are going to Des Monies

without me. I hope they enjoy the show.

They will get shipped out on Wednesday.

Minnesota Hills is over at the Farm House in Fair Oaks.

Must make a trip to retrieve it soon.

 I keep finding hints of fall.

A precious leaf here and there.

Sedums full of butterflies.

Vegetation turning brown.

Soon it will be rampart.

I just love fall looking forward to the cooler temps.

I made pumpkin pie today just to get in the mood.

Having a quiet weekend at home.

More of the chairs show.

 I sit here eating plain yogurt with honey and

enjoying the fact that the week-end is here.

We have a baby shower today for the new baby

Liz and Scott are expecting.

As usual I have been buying things for the last

4 weeks.  Only one thing from her list.

 I found the cutest winter bunting for only $16  on

Amazon. It was a North face.

I hate to waste money on wrapping paper so I

made a flannel crib blanket to use as paper.

 I hope you are enjoying the Chairs show.

Relaxing as you see the different ways I 

interpreted the ides of relaxation.

 The bench and sofa table were made by Chris Boon

a talented wood worker. I upholstered the bench.

We love the north woods in our family and it

holds fond memories.

I end the day with a  more contemporary chair quilt.
