Anyway...I stitched up a bunch of them in this manner, intending them to be on the back of a challenge quilt. But they turned out to be the perfect size for placemats. Now I can't decide.
fun stuff
This one reminded me of when I was a kid and we used to color Easter eggs. The coloring kit came with squares of a tissue like paper with designs like this and you would wrap the paper around the egg and then apply a damp paer towel over it and the design would come off onto the egg.
OK...so then I plopped in front of the tv and ripped the pages into strips.
I covered this can with some of the colored strips and placed the rest of them inside.
I feel normal again!
I will be making some sort of creative art this weekend!
Nature's stencil on my wall.
Just the sun shining thru my front door.
I did do some creative things this weekend but no photo's.
This is my challenge doll that was published in Art Doll Quarterly a few years back.
So here are my geraniums....
Yesterday was nice....I was able to open some windows and the cats and I enjoyed some much needed fresh air in the house.
During the Christmas holidays I moved the dining room table into the kitchen to make room for a tree in front of the big window in the dining room. I put the round kitchen table in the studio to refinish the badly worn top.
So I have pieced together this table runner.
It was a good day for idea's.
Every couple of weeks when the cereal gets low...I make new patterns.
This picture was taken behind the State house in Annapolis. I think the Maryland flag is one of the prettiest state flags. It is the coat of arms of the Calvert and Crossland families and it's the only flag in the US to be based on English heraldry.
...of course I ate a few crabs.
I checked out this cute little beach cottage as a possible retirement house.
I ate some healthy food.
...and some not so healthy.
...and most importantly...
...so she gets this special tote for her Birthday.
...she loved it.
Baseballs thru & thru.
...didn't want it to appear that I was not at home for security reasons.
But I do have this pic of one of my favorite tree's.
...some new fabrics to show...
...mine is 4.
Can Spring be far away?
It's my favorite season.
Yep, I responded to the call for "What's in your car?"
Whilst still working on my first two quilt projects, I felt the need to start another. I have always wanted to make a string or strip quilt and after reading the article in Art Quilt Studio magazine by Rayna Gillman, I couldn't wait any longer.
I already had the right colors of fabric out so I started ripping strips. I have it all planned in my head. The article by Rayna is called Cinderella quilts and she invented a block called the urban storefront. I love that and since I do things in even numbers...I will probably start that one too.
I never work on one project at a time....I never have.
It's an art thing.
I know I am not alone on that one.
