The road home.

                Finally finished the new art quilt.
                Fall in its most glowing colors.
                It is my favorite time of the year.
                Next art quilt will be more abstract.
                4 weeks of stitching in my spare time.
                The hand dyed threads from Artfabrik
                really make the finishing touch.

The Wood's Road

Got some studio time today.

I added the next layer to my newest quilt.

Taking a photograph shows me where I need corrections.

Lots of corrections.

Glad to be back creating.

Have a good week-end. 

A visitor at Cedar Ridge

This first year buck deer visited the pond

this morning for a drink with his

mother. What a restful way to start the day.

We sit on our small 4'by8'deck

watch the pond and flower garden

breath in the sweet morning air.

A morning tradition.

Have a peaceful day.

Finding treasures cleaning the sewing closet

 I took time out from cleaning the closet today  to make a Christmas card for Virginia A. Spiegel. Yesterday she posted on her blog  her new Folio 2 Black Trees art and I loved the new series so I  decided to treat myself for Christmas. Check out her blog. www.VirginiaSpiegel.com

I found some treasures while cleaning the closet. I bought this old sampler over 15 years ago. Amazing what you find.  I am going to set it out with the Christmas decor. Perfect to go with the winter season. Sunday morning 10 deer were wandering around the backyard munching the grass. One Sunday last year we counted 32 deer crossing the back yard. Some reason they move though on Sunday. Think they are on their way to church?

Than I found some old sheet music from 1908 that will be perfect for a collage.  I should have cleaned the closet a few years ago. It was so bad I couldn't walk in it. My grandson helped me and made me eliminate and share I have 3 big black bags to donate so far. We will continue in the morning with the closet detail. I promised him tacos for lunch if he brought a pound of hamburger.
