Six to Ship Out

I can't for the life if me remember what date I FB posted to offer to the first six people something handmade (with them in return doing the same for another six) but Kathi, Carol, Linda, Wendy, Suzanne, and Aviva, here they are. Now to check for your snail mail addresses.

Promised Art

Waaaay back when, I promised 6 people (who had commented on a Facebook post) a piece of handmade something, if they would in turn do the same. Well, now that year is ALMOST up; it is time to make good on my promise. Sending soon.

Been a Bang Up Year

I'm looking back on a wonderful year. From the Grand Central Station, to the heartland of Iowa, to Lake Havasu, the Coast of British Columbia, and the Golden Gate Bridge, I was able to visit wonderful quilters. And to my generous hosts, thank you for sharing your world with me.

Time Out

Took in a movie tonight Big Eyes, and who should I pass in the hallway? Had I known, I would have worn my tiara.

Back in the Studio

Clearing the detritus of christmas wrapping paper from the cutting tables at last! Now to get back to the design wall. Yes, it looks like what I posted before. But not. This one, by the way, is without a pattern.

In the Details

For one more week, the Schweinfurth has my work What Lies Within on view in the Quilts=Art=Quilts exhibition. This is the detail I sent for the jurors to decide on whether to accept my work, or let it go.

Christmas Art

You have to hang (your) art how you wish others would. This season Mummies Collide makes the scene as the compliment to the tree.

On My Walk

I had to walk today because I could. This time of year is usually full  of snow, cold, and gray. Tthe studio could not contain me. So, this was on my afternoon walk.

For a Long Winter's Nap

Selfies taken. Presents presented. Food made, eaten. Friends around with lots of cheer. Now it's time for a long winter's nap. Good tidings, and to all a good night.

Add a Little Green

Christmas eve, and there is a pile of green apple peelings in preparation for brunch on Thursday. That rounds out the red, white, green for must-have colors.

Not a White Christmas

...which is alright with me, for once. Just a dusting last week left this greenery looking fine. I am sure that winter is just behind a bit. Fine here.
