Busy fall. Every weekend filled with commitments. Care giving - kids, parents, friends. 25th wedding celebration. Porcupines under the cottage. Computer crashes galore. etc.
But some of the commitments are coming to a close.
Here is some of what I have been up to.
Art Quilts - I made four. This is my Mr. Gecko. The gecko was hand painted. The quilting does not show up well. I have to learn how to take better pictures. But the whole thing was machine quilted on my home machine. The tiles are made by my friend a Raku Potter - Lisa Skog.
I love this foray into the art quilt world.
Here are the other three pieces made for a September show.
All of these should be rotated to the right orientation but I am having problems with my arthritis in my hands and I guess I am to lazy to care right now.
I sold the piece with the oriental tiles. And there was some interest in a show at a local gallery.
Friday afternoon and Saturday are mine to play. ( I do have a commitment for part of the day ) I cleared the surfaces in the "Room of Gloom and Dispare" aka. my sewing room so I can work.
I have my new computer up and running. In goes my videos, teaching lectures or podcasts.
Also I won a draw from Stash Manicure for 21 fat quarters from Riley Blakes Hooty Hoot. Now I wonder what
I will make with that?????
On another note here is another fun picture. 25 years ago I was married.

I think my daughter is worried that 1. I once had a skinny waist too and 2. I will make her wear this dress.
Don't worry DD I won't make you wear it. I pressure future grandchildren instead.
