AQS 2016 calender

 I got my copy of the 2016 AQS calendar.

My quilt Wolf River is in the calendar for

August/September.

That is one handsome quilt.

Today my grandson Hunter is helping me change out the art

at the Farmhouse Restaurant.

I need his muscles to do the lifting.

It is a beautiful morning,

Sunshine.

Winter was too too long.

I made the mistake of going to Rossville Quilt shop

Thursday before the FibR meeting.

Another 50 yards came home with me.

I will never live long enough to use this all up.

Oh well.

Such is the life of a quilter.

Continuation of Wolf River.

Well Tuesday I spent 5 hours thread stitching tree trunks

and branches. Today I will thread stitch the foliage

on the trees and bushes. Than I can add the water

to the bottom of the quilt. I am already bored

and ready to move on to a new idea.

But the house rules are FINISH what you started.

Than you can do another.

I think this one will consume the rest of my week.

My mind is already on logs and pieces of wood.

All beige, black, grey and ochre.

Well it is 3 in the morning and I must try and

get some sleep. Some nights I wake up at 1 or 2

and cannot go back to sleep the mind just

starts turning and I am wide awake.

Maybe a cup of hot tea will work.

Have a great day you all.

Wolf River Quilt

 I forgot how big this one was.

Probably 44 x 65. I started with adding more

tree trunks than started to apply foliage

to the top and the reflection. Something is

not quite right. I will figure it out.

It will have to wait until Friday,

I have a doc appointment and shopping today.

Our 12 year old microwave is doing

strange things. Time for a new one.

The frig needs restocking with fresh fruits

and veggies. I also want to make a stop at

Big Lot's they have irons for $15. Never

have enough irons. Fusing is hard on them.

Plus it is a good place for glue.

Have a great day.

I will - than I will be exhausted shopping

does that to me.
