Wisconsin at its best.

                         Back to work after a week  of reflection in Wisconsin.
                         Fall leaves are turning there and it was nice.
                         I love cool  weather. Working on a new quilt.
                         I will share  some of the detail with you next.
                         Have a great day.

Art from the show

A nice grouping of art from Jasper County Art League.

Ending & beginning of another show.

Hoosier Roads & Rivers opens at the Well Cultural Center

June 24th 2011.

Abbie, Carol and I will install the show Monday.

Jasper County Art League members  will showcase their art.

The art quilt above shows the Kankakee & Iroquois Rivers

It will be part of a grouping with

 4 smaller ones that will continue the river.

That is today's  project. 

 My hand dyes threads arrived in the mail from Artfabrik.

Now I can add the hand work to the larger river quilt

I have been working on. It needs the grasses and leaves.



 I love the ducks I added. Makes it more believable.

 Andrew My 21 year old grandson helped me.
Thank goodness for the muscles.
Take down my solo show at the Wells Center last night.
The winter scene was the only one not sold of my
art quilts. I sold 10 pieces.  I think I have found my niche.
A couple from New Mexico bought 2 pieces.
Both were I think  two of my best.
I think the hand dyed threads from Laura  Wasilowski
makes them unique and special.
Thanks Laura. I always  order at the last minute
and she comes through.

Saugatuck, Michigan

Last night I got to thinking about

some of the vacations I took.

One of my favorite places is Saugatuck.

Lake Michigan.

Dunes.

 Art, galleries, and more galleries.
Great restaurant's.
Wickwood Inn with Julia Russo.
Peters Gallery.

 Sculptures inside and outside this town.
There is a sculpture walk.
The public restroom is a work of art.
A great place to spend a few days.
