Des Monies

Golden Glow and Fire Storm are going to

the AQS show in Des Monies

Gathering for the Trip South

My art quilt Gathering for the trip south is going for a trip.

The AQS show in Grand Rapids in August is the destination.

I was surprised when I recieved my packet in the mail.

How exciting to get accepted in the show.

April and I were going to the show anyway.

Now I can pose for a photo with one of my quilts

hung for display for a real show.

The idea for this quilt came from my past.

Back in the 80's I was looking out the kitchen window

and saw a flock of robins land on the crab tree by the garage.

What a sight.

The tree was pruned to a ball shape.

So there was this ball of flapping tweeting Robins.

They were attracted by the fruit.

The tree was stripped clean in minutes.

A nice way to commerate my memory.

I find that if I create my art from what I like

the end result is much better.

Have a great day all.

First times a charm,

 Yesterday's mail brought a surprise.

A big fat envelope from AQS.

My Robin quilt was accepted for the Grand Rapids show.

This is the first Quilt show I have entered.

Now I understand the happy dance thing.

Whats nice is that Grand Raids is only 2.5 hours away.

I was going with a friend to the show anyway.

Now I will see one of my quilts hanging at a show.

I was taking photos of the bee balm yesterday

and found some added interest in the flower.

Buzzing just 3 inches from my nose.

A big fat bumble bee.

Life is good
