New quilt done "CROWS"

My first finish for the year.

This quilt is a polka dot challenge,

for the Indiana Heritage quilt Show

in Bloomington, IN. 

I find I like to do more abstract or pictorial quilts.

I am the featured artist at the show this year.

Should be exciting. 

I am hoping that I will be able to create more 

art this year. Age does slow us down.

Crows

Making some kind of progress.

I need to finish this quickly

I am losing interest.

Something to Crow about.

I can't decide if I like the clay addition to this quilt.

Using a hand carved stamp I made some clay forms

to use in conjunction with quilting.

We have some resident crows at Cedar Ridge Studio.

They like to hang out by the pond or in the woods.

Birds and trees are a constant theme in my art.

My thoughts this one got a little to cutesy.



Better late than never.

Started a new quilt today.

I made some clay forms last fall with bird

stamps I and carved.

Painted and stained these will add some interest to quilts.

I have a group of crows that entertain me all year.

They like to hang out by the pond and gossip with each other.

 I printed a fall scene onto silk fused it to the background.

Added some leaves.

Stamped some circles and dragonflies

Now to add some hand stitching.

I messed around  making a book cover for my Kindle.

It was hard not to pick up the Kindle and read.

Wednesday is a day of grocery shopping  and my

yearly mammo. Than to top off the day a massage.

Rough life.

We should have retirement when we are 45.

Could enjoy it more.
