New project

I saw this flannel quilt by David at Crimson Tate

in Indy. Called David at the shop and ordered it

and some additional yardage.

The back is fun also.

I may make this one for me.

Or my grandson who is building himself 

a house. Yes with his hands with a few friends.

I got a brown sofa I want to wrap with quilts.

Than I saw this shawl and thought .

I could crochet this onto a piece of wool 

flannel or acrylic.

I have been thinking of stopping my blog.

What ya think.

Will face book be enough or Instragram?

Next project for FibR show in May.

 Well this is next in line.

I need 2 or 3 art quilts for the FibR show in May.

I have 3 groups of fabrics to work with.

I plan to make some necklaces too.

 This one is a must we all have a piece of the

same fabric to incorporate into a quilt.

Our theme is international.

I am adding animals to this one.

 The lighter fabrics are Australian and have fish

and turtles as part of the design.

This is as far as I got this afternoon.

I do not like this so I will start over in the morning.

I really have trouble with a theme like this.

I do better starting with a photo or a piece

of fabric and than I get inspired.

Tell me I need to do something and my mind

balks. Everyone so far have such unique items.

I will have to dig deep inside to pull this off.

The FInal Project

I thought I would show you my final project

from my week long Nancy Crow workshop.

It is just pinned to the wall.

The work load of this workshop was intense.

I  got it cut out and pinned to my wall

but had no time to sew it.

So it came home with me to be finished

when I go back to the studio after Christmas.

I was so tired I slept 9 hours last night.

Plus took a nap after lunch.

I was really impressed by the work of my

fellow students.

Some very talented art quilters.

I have come to the realization that a 5 day

workshop is too much for me with my

health issues. In the future I will limit myself to

1 to 3 day workshop.

I did have trouble driving myself home

I had to stop every 20 to 30 minutes to

keep awake. BUT the important thing is

I did make it there and back

and survived the week with Nancy.

That woman has the energy of 3 women.

I learned a lot of  craft that will make

me a better art quilter in the long run.

I look forward to January through

the 1st of May when I get the most done in the studio.



The begining of a new quilt.

 I love the colors of my new project.

As always nature themed.

It was good to be back in the studio.

I think I was absent for 3 weeks.

Wednesday I will have a whole day in the studio again.

Other duties call me today.

I even got another 4 quarts of juice done yesterday.

While I am off and running.

Have A good one.
