Hello,

The season of rushing around is here.  It seems like I spend all my time at luncheons and gatherings.  I do enjoy it however.  I went the  Open Studios  in  Rochester with Noel on Friday.  We were impressed with lots of work and visited Pat Pauley studio and had a wonderful time.

 

 

 

On Sunday I went off to the Schweinfurth and went to the Trunk talk with Daisy Aschehoug.     She is part of the Modern Quilt movement and has a work in the show.  The talk was strong and we enjoyed it.

 

 

 

Then on Tue, Liz and I went off to visit with our good friend Angela. We ate Christmas Cookies  and got to see her new studio.

Associated Artists had their Christmas luncheon this week as well.  As a result of all the running around I did not get a lot done in the studio, but I am enjoying the season.

Progress Report: Examine  I am to the  handwork step with this project now.  All the quilting is done and I will add binding later.

 

 

 

 

 

Forbidden Fruit   I am still building on this project.  I am enjoying the slipping in the slender lines of metallic fabric.

 

 

 

 

Sun Shine-  Slow Stitch  This is the last little project for the Slow Stitch  sub group of Creative Strength Training.  I have enjoyed the little challenges and will miss the folks, but I think I will not join this  program a second year at this time.

 

 

Sea Dreams   I  put a lot of time in on this project this week.    I built the back and added the sea weed to that unit.  All three of these fish got water marked satin inserted into them.  I have cut four more fish in a different paid that I want to add to the mix.

 Creative Assistants  I spent time watching basketball and football games this week too so I did a little hand work to finish up that step of these fellows.

 

 

 

 

Handwork   I am working away on this piece of handwork when I am at zoom meetings.  It is fun to keep my hands busy.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope that everyone is enjoying the wonders of the season.

Keep Crating
