More quilt ideas

This is a quilt by Katie PM.
I took a class with her in Grand Rapids
where we did this type of quilt.
I love it because it combines painting and quilting.
Definitely on the list.
Tne one below the artist provided the pattern/
I love the rich designer 
Then here is a little bit of sunshine for today.
We do not get enough sun in the Indiana winter.

More Ideas from the internet

 I am looking forward to 2017
I am going to try some of these ideas I
found in the blogs I follow.
 Love the triangle idea.
What a great way to use up fabric.
 I love the way the lines interrupt the 16 patch square.
Then the next snow storm I will be doing some dyeing
trying to achieve the soft colors like Elaine Quehl
So much to do and not enough time.

Blue Jay Winter

 Winter brings such vibrant sunsets.
Cold must make the colors bolder.
The cold bright winter days combined with
snow keeps the bird feeder busy.
This Blue Jay is too aggressive.
He chases all the other birds away.
Saturday a small Coopers Hawk
chased him away from the feeder.
Leaving a blue feather in the snow.

Quilts

I like these quilts I found on facebook.
I just want to make mindless blocks
and combine them into quilts.

Winter

We are supposed to have 14 below Sunday morning.
That's cold enough to stay inside.
All the college grand kids are coming home by
the week end. Wishing them safe travels.
Yesterday I got the 3 sunflowers done for the
art quilt. Today I fuse everything together
and start quilting it.
Hopefully finishing by Friday afternoon.

Sunflowers in December

 Back to the studio today.
My friend wants a sunflower quilt for a
Christmas Present.
I dyed fabric Monday and made the pattern
yesterday. Now to make the quilt by Saturday.
On such a cold day I get to submerse myself in
warm yellow fabric and create.
