Hello,

I am enjoying the days of more light.   It is nice to get up with the sun.   That will all change again on Saturday when we go to Daylight Savings Time.   But just the thought of more day light  is cheering to me.

Wendy and I went swimming on Thursday  last week and stopped at the Betts Library to check out the Cabin fever Quilt show on the way.   My piece, Blue Spanish Eyes  is a part of that show.

 

 

 

I also  included had my “Hand Out ” piece in my entries for the Betts show.  All the hands in this piece are drawn form photos I took of fellow quilter’s.

 

 

 

 

I was impress by this work too.   It has such strong colors.

 

My only other event  was  to the Pixie meeting.   I have decided not to include the meetings in my beginning topics.

 

Progress Report: Lap 4-25  This lap quilt was the big  thing I finished this week.     Sometimes one just needs to put in the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5-25     I did start this new lap quilt this week.     I sure enjoy these little projects that are judge free.

 

 

 

 The Tide’s Out     This project is going well.   I only have about  a 8″  section to complete and then it is off to the framers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sandpipers   These fellows are all hand colored.   Now I am juggling then around on the background before I stitch them onto the surface.

Handwork  This work is done at then point.   I don’t have any goal for what will happen to this work.   Sometimes it is just about the process.

 

 

 

 Suit Case  My old suit case  is wearing out and it is too big to be a carry on, so I purchased a new one.   I like to identify them with squiggle paint, so there in never any doubt who’s case is mine.    It also means that when I travel in a group, folks get so they recognize  my piece and will often pull it off the caracal for me.

 

10″ X 10″  I want to contribute to the Art Rage auction so I have cut these two 1)” squares to embellish for that purpose.

Judy’s Banquet   Judy gave me an old prom dress and I am cutting it apart to use in this new quilt.

 

 

 

 

 

New Handwork     Having finished up a handwork project, I quickly pulled out a new one to work on.

 

Scrap Happy 1-25   I started a new scrap happy  project this week.   Now all the blocks are cut.

 

 

I hope folks are enjoying the longer day light hours and using them effectively.

Keep Creating

Carol
