Portraits of my Granddaughter, Truly and More Quilts

Mt. Rainier 20th Anniversary Community Craft Sale

Getting ready for the craft sale on December 6th at Joe's Movement Emporium, 3309 Bunker Hill Rd., Mt. Rainier, MD

New Work

I've been really busy this August.  Completed five wallhangings.  Here they are.

More Pics

These two were made some time ago.  I'm considering making something similar.

Winter Wonderland

I'm always torn between gardening and quilting.  Simply love being outdoors.  But this winter has definitely keep me indoors and in my cozy little quilting studio.  Needless to say, it's my favorite room in the house.

My hubby says I'm obsessive because of the way I sort my fabrics.  I take that as a compliment! I only wish I had room for more.

Thank goodness for snow and so much time to quilt.

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Didn't have to cook.  Quilted from pre-dawn to dusk.
For the past few weeks, I've been making Christmas gifts and items for craft fairs.  This Saturday, I'll participate in the 17th annual holiday fair at Joe's Movement Emporium in Mt. Ranier, MD.

 Above are some of the wall hangings, purses and bowls I plan to have for sale.

Another Colorwash Practice Piece

The forecast calls for a severe winter storm with snow accumulation and high winds.  A perfect day to hunker down and work in the cozy (as in small) studio all day. Got my fingers crossed that the electricity stays on.

I'm working on another colorwash using mostly florals.  I like the texture created using these bold muti-colored prints. Batik fabric provides the jewel tone color I love so much. Florals provide the texture I love so much.  Hmmm.  For now, I'm sticking with florals.

This morning, I cut out hundreds of squares to make more practice pieces.  I'll keep at it until I get the look I'm after.

For those in the region, enjoy your day!  The weather in DC has offered most of us the gift of a day to stay put.
