Fall in art quilt close ups.

 Finally the trees are starting to change colors.

Usually by now the trees are bare.

Wednesday I pick up my quilts from the Solo show

in Chesterton. Than I sort to bring some to Delphi. 

 The holiday season is about to start.

It will be a marathon until Christmas.

I have given up sugar and white foods.

The holidays will be hard this year.

Need to get my sugar under control.

Looking forward to January to start 2017

art quilts.

The farm in fall.

 This past week and yesterday I left the farm to

go to Shipshewana Thursday and Indy Saturday.

Boy am I glad to be back on the farm.

I would not do well in the city.

Plus with 3 UTI infections in the past 30 days

I was tired but could not get out of going.

 At the Indiana SAQA meeting I got a lot of useful

information and saw some awesome quilts.

Being exposed to other artist is so important.

Seeing another way to do something

helps me grow as an artist.

The Indiana SAQA group is so talented.

Looking to the next quarter meeting.

 I am glad I pushed myself even though I spent

Sunday quietly resting.

Wooded things

 Now that fall is almost over I seek out wooded

objects. They are interesting.

An old root in the neighbors yard.

 Fence posts wrapped in barb wire..

An old bolt drives into wood.

Weathered wood is nest.

A collection of favorites

 

 I took a class with Katie PM in Grand Rapids.

We painted canvas than stamped it.

Cut it. Than put is back together in quilt format.

A fun concept. She is a fun teacher.

 Even strawberries turn color in the fall.

Beautiful reds against the rocks.

Sunny days bring out the best in nature.

Blue skies and blue water.

love living today. 

 

Small quilts

I have a whole day to spend in the studio.

A rare event.

I have to admit my muse had left me this year.

I need to fine it again.

 Hopefully it is down in the studio waiting for me

today.

Computers repaired

 Thanks to my son in law and grand son my

computer is cleaned and working again. Just in time to

enter the AQS Daytona show.

Cleared off the viruses and moving fast again.

 I also am going to submit a proposal for a show in

2018 with the theme of wildlife around Cedar Ridge.

Glad to be back posting again.

Have a great week all.
