A lazy day.

I love birds and lately I have been fascinated

with owls. I am thinking of doing a series of

birds. Later after I am ready for the May show.

Maybe in July and August.

I have already messed up my new sewing

machine. I just need to calm done and put a

different needle in and try again. It will

probably be nothing. Today was the last of

the series of knee injections so when I got

home I just put my feet up the took it easy.

I sure hope this works I am getting tired

of going up and down one stair at a time.

Much too slow for me. While I am off

for a shower than to my recliner to watch

the voice. I really like that show. The singers

are so talented. I like watching Adam's

antics. He is a hoot.

My new toy

 My new Janome Horizon. I so like this machine.

Tommy Fitzsimmons keeps raving about the Janome

So I went to Laporte and checked it out. I went there

to get my Viking fixed and played with this machine

while I waited.(yes a repairman that fixes it while you wait)

I went back home and had the brillant thought maybe

 he would trade. He does and gave me a great price,

now to learn a new machine. No more snarls on

 the back of my quilts. Here is my design board with

3 new landscaped quilts blocked in. Yesterday I

stitched the skies on them. Today I will start on

backgrounds. I hate to change thread so I do

an assembly line process on the base than

start adding features later. 3 days with no

appointments so plenty of time in the studio.

These 3 can hang together as a group in

the show in May. I used fabrics from Moonstruck

and Wolf River so they will harmonize on

the gallery walls. It is finally coming together.

I will have a decent showing for the gallery.
