On the bluff.

I finished up this sweet landscape yesterday.

It evokes a feeling of calm.

Just what I intended.

The August solo show is a vacation of the mind.

The photo part is the fence and the tree to the left.

The rest of the quilt is made of batik fabrics.

Last night we went to a Booth Brothers concert

Wow those men can sing.

Looking forward to a relaxing day with my husband.

Reading and napping.

A Touch of Nature

 The opening was a success last night.

In spite the wind and snow and nasty weather

we had a great crowd. People that appreciate art.

My 5 panel quilt looked awesome on the wall

and people were impressed.

 My other large art quilt was flanked by 4 of

Barb's bird photographs in shades of orange and yellow.

A perfect compliment to the quilt.

 A table full of small items for cash and carry last

night. Something for everyone.

My companion Barb Lucas is an awesome photographer.

Her bird photos also included complete information

about the bird and its habitat. She had a lot of red dots

by the end of the evening.(sales)

All in all it was a satisfactory opening.

Progress.

 Well I stitched for 4 hours on the trees and hills.

Now I am ready for the leaves.

This afternoon I spent 3 hours cutting out leaves.

 This one is pleasing me.

Cannot wait to start putting on the foliage.

Color - it need fall colors.

red- orange- yellow- rust

I need to finish this one to take to a gallery in

hopes of getting into the gallery.

I will need at least 3 small one also.

Loving this weather.

Makes me want to cook and sew.

A good combination.

Final Project

 My room mate was kind enough to share her photos

with me. The last day we posted our weeks work.

My favorite is the abstract quilt above.

My main project was the landscape quilt below.

I made 7 art quilts in 5 days.

If you ever have the opportunity take a class

with Cynthia Corbin.

She is taking the year off but will be back for

QSDS 2013.

I made the irregular edge quilt in 6 hours.

I got razzed a lot for sewing 100 MPH.

We are very tired but satisfied with what we learned.

Planted a few trees.

 Added the trees to the quilt.

Stitched every branch down.

Now time to add the grass, leaves and a bird or two.

The colors are almost African or New Mexico like.

Needed some color in my quilt life.
