Quilt Still in the Making

After hours of happy sewing the quilt is coming along, very nicely.

All thats still needed now, is the edging (finishing) and it'll be done.

Notice there is still wool left and yes there is still fabric left too! 

 . . so another quilt must be considered! 

Maui Morning

A bit of a vacation to Maui inspired this painting.

Oil on Canvas

20" x 28"

Apres Ski Time

Apres Ski Time is finally completed.

Sadly, it doesn't photograph too well, guess I have more things to learn.

It is really much more vibrant in reality.

Oil on Canvas

12" x 16"

Radiant Rhodie

This is my personal favorite as far as flowers go.

(to date)

I did it a couple of years ago already, but it's still my #1!

Oil on Canvas

16" x 20"

Rain Refreshed

This was sort of a "design as I go" painting, the sheep were an

after thought, but they were the "fun"  part.

(sadly this picture did not photograph well,

 it is actually much brighter)

Tulips

Not too much longer and we should be seeing these around!

Patchwork Quilt in the "making"

Winter gets a person into creating warm things.

And ya, wool quilts are warm.

This quilt when it is done  . .  consists of 800+  5" squares

each of which is made up of  approximately 9 squares.

The fabrics have been collected for many years, ( eg 30+)

of sewing.

There is a bit of "memories" in each square.

My goal is for it to be reminder of days gone by, plus

 serve a useful function. 

Scroll to the bottom picture and then up,  to see how

the mess of squares were rearranged to create 

a generally pleasing appearance (in my view).

 . . .  now on to sewing all the bits together, then adding

wool batting and "quilting" it.

 . . . .It may be quite a while to completion . . . 

will post once done.
