Kathy's quilt

 Well I have all the components ready.

Now to play with the design for Kathy's quilt.

I see a lot of places to change. but I really like

the flowers and the fabrics.

It will be a great quilt for my daughter.

I got my new Dell desktop yesterday and my

grandson come over to fine tune it.

It is so nice to have a resource like a college sophomore.

Nothing like young brains.

I am going cold turkey with both a new laptop and

new desktop. Really stretching the 71 year old

brain. I will probably avoid dementia for at 

least 4 extra years with all the brain  stretching.

I have learned quite a few new things.

Like what settings means what to do with it.

Down loading patches for the Cd's I lost.

Things are still not working right with E-mail

but I will conquer that soon.

Rainy Day

My daughters bed quilt in progress.

Yesterday I got the last 2 rows on now to add the

 6 inch border. I hope to finish this top today than start 

 on the flower one. Queen size in chocolate brown tones.

I have one more leftover project from 2014

than I can start on my show pieces for 2015.

I need to do a 30 x 40 screened printed and quilted

art quilt for a friend. Tones of pale blue and silver.

Should be fun to use some of the skills I learned 

from Jane Dunnewold.  Paint is always fun.

Chesterton Art Center's quilt

 

 I got busy yesterday afternoon and worked on

finishing the quilt for the fund raiser.

Made another row of blocks and now to decide

on the borders. I  will finish it up today and

mail it off to the Cotton Corner Quilt shop

in Shipsewanna Indiana.

They will quilt it and bind it for me.

I can then get back to working on the big

quilt. Today is the opening of the show in Lafayette

Indiana. I am looking forward to seeing all the

art hung. It is going to be s great show.

I will try to remember my camera.

Well off to the studio.

 

Next in line.

 Now that the magazine article is off to the publisher

I need to concentrate on the next project in line. I

really need to finish this bed quilt which is for a fund

raiser for the Chesterton Art Center. Than I need to get

back to the big quilt and work on panel # 5.

There is always something to do here at  Cedar

Ridge Studio. I found some photos of the

SAQA studio tour last fall. My studio looked great.

I think maybe  it needs a big clean-up.

I know it does. That will be the next project

when I finish the 5 panels.

Well off to the studio to find what I need

to finish the bed quilt.
