save the tatas

ok, had my mamogram today. looked good -- they will put it through the magic machine later, but i am doing the healthy breast dance and reminding all of you to get your mamogram

yes. it is a quilting day, I feel it coming on.... there is a green string to work on, a wizard of oz to start ( last fabric finally arrived) and my cathedral window to continue.


plus, my moms red quilted bag,

and my daughters spring dresses.

wonderful wonderful. the sun is shining and Im gonna open the studio windows and let loose!

strings everywere

finished the top of cousin connies pink string quilt, my oldest was home for Easter , saw it on the sewing studio floor and asked me to make one " in baby greens" for her husbands bosses wife. strings are everywhere in my studio and the stray threads are stuck to everything.

the only problem is i hate doing the same things too many times in a row -- tried hard to talk her into another kind -- like grandmas attic or snowballs or whatever, but NO, she wants a baby green string quilt.

and she shall have it!

personality flaws

in the quilt that is my life I confound myself sometimes. I consider my self pretty social. I love people, I love to talk and listen and laugh and dance and play. I enjoy the people I work with and want to be part of the social activities at work. yet, when they have the weekly happy hours, I rarely go. i skip parties that I had every intention of attending -- and Im not sure why. am I becoming recluse like my mom? or do i just like being home? or do I hate the way i feel when I have a couple drinks -- my nite is shot. I dont know...really dont know.

and I love chatting with quilters and knitters, but I dont join a quilting guild. i am just too weird --

a little quiltin goin on

so, here are two of the most current quilts. a baby bargello for ashley at work, and the beginning of a string quilt for my cousins baby. im not a traditional quilter as such, but every now and then I go back to the roots and put together something very geometrical. I like these two...

how'd I end up here?

i cant take the insanity at quiltblog.com anymore. I know my quilts will be seen by less people here, but jesus, its work there to add a picture, and then they disappear! anyway, its march, spring and all so I guess its time to make a new start. I am a quilter and a fabric artist, a knitter, and a sewer of clothes and bags. so, never know what might turn up here...
