Smashing

This is one of my Smash books.

It's called a mini and it's so darn cute.

 This is a page I made using magazine pages.

Oh dear! Still having issues.

Don't know why it is doing this.

It's a tad sideways but you get the point.

My class onSaturday is full :)

More pages to follow......

wish list

 I made the above quilt for my daughter a few years ago and it's very much loved and always on her couch.
Every time I go to her home I look at it and think I want to make another one for myself. It's such an easy quilt to make and the pattern is interesting.And Lord knows I have the fabric!

Another quilt I would love to make is this one. Not sure what it is called but I love it. I took this photo at a recent quilt show. Appologies to the maker....I forgot your name. I think it is raw edged or it can be and I like that as well.
Now back to making bags for the time being.

back again!

My blog disappered for a week or so due to some sort of unusual activity.

Thanks to everyone that missed me and wondered where I went.

 I have been working on some new art but cant find it in my photo file to show.

 Been working on a few new bags and gearing up for my Smash class this Saturday at Queen's Ink.
I've been told I have a few young people in my class and I am excited about that. It's going to be a fun day.

When I am inking things I always put a paper down for the over flow and other ink mess. Then I stamp over the pretty parts and tear them up and use in my other art projects. It's all good!

Wishing you an artful day!

Hello July

It's July again and boy is it ever HOT!

 My car says it's 102...I left Oklahoma because of the heat.

I got back from my bowling trip to Reno the day before yesterday and was wondering where my mail is.....just found out I have to go and get it. It's only 7 miles away but I don't want to go outside!

I want to sew under the fan and work on this quilt.

I hope you get to do what you want today.

a wing and a prayer

 I love the new camera on my iphone.

Took this pic of a bee on the bee balm.

Our art group made prayer flags last month like the ones in Cloth Paper Scissors magazine.
This is one that I made earlier as a demo piece. I put them out on my trees before the leaves came out, and now they are on permamently....or until Fall comes.

Another new bag

 Another Springy floral bag.

Front

 It was a birthday gift for an old friend of mine.

There's no front or back...it's open on top.
