Resolutions

Ok, I make some resolutions every year.  Some years I write them down.  Some years I even make progress on them.  This year, in addition to doing all the dishes before bed every night (I can tell you right now that one will not be a complete success), I'm going to finish one quilt or quilt-related project a week, at least until I find that full time job I'm looking for.  Since my pieces are small and I always have at least a dozen in progress at any given time, this is doable.  Really.  At the end of week #1, I've completed a pillow for my brother-in-law.  It's supposed to be Garbo.  See what you think!

World Quilt Show New England

The World Quilt Show New England takes place in Manchester, NH Aug. 15-18.  I'll have three quilts there:  Remembering Hawaii, Purple Cow, and this one, which is part of SAQA's traveling exhibit Color Wheel of Emotions.  Details about the show are here.  I'm thrilled we'll be able to see the show!  With any luck, we'll also fit in a day at the beach along the way.

Lost Moon #4:  Remembering Winter

Spring is Here!

The ground may be white, but spring is here, and soon the world will be green again.  This tiny bluebird was created as a donation for the upcoming Quilt Show's mini quilt sale.  The bird is hand-drawn with Inktense pencils, while the surrounding greenery is collaged fabric layered on top.

This piece will also be at the quilt show.  You can see more photos and get details on the show's facebook page too! 

Holiday Harvest Wreath

I've never seen a purple cow..

Here's a detail from the wall quilt Purple Cow that I've entered in the animal quilt challenge for the upcoming Hands Across the Valley Quilt Show the first weekend in April!
