Circle throw




Disclaimer. I don't know what I'm doing but don't care.




Traced my pattern on the paper side of  iron on appli-kay wonder. Ironed to fabric and cut out circles. Peeled  and ironed to flannel block. Cut cotton batting to make a sandwich.






Went crazy trying to secure every last edge on my circles. After three blocks I realized I would never have enough thread to keep that nonsense up so I switched to a straight stitch for a raw edge block.

As usual I had several ideas for this quilt and didn't really decide until after I had started cutting and sewing. Soooo. We shall see how it works out. 

It has turned into a throw because I don't know what I was thinking when I planned a king. Making a couple a throws instead and ordered new quilts for the bed.









Can't even explain how this works but you can go to you tube and watch quilt as you go videos.



Almost done.

back to the art

My valentine bought this wonderful amethyst geode! Isn't it fantastic!? 
I guess I'm officially moved in and back to art. This is just one project I have going. Also working on a watercolor and painting a small table. Feels so good to have piles of projects instead of boxes everywhere! Actually the piles are bothering me but the art makes up for it. I need to find a way to store projects in progress so it isn't such a mess in here.

Plant room

Having so much fun using my art to decorate the new house. We found some wonderful antiques here in town to furnish the PLANT ROOM! It is everybody's favorite to hang out in the morning, the light! My studio spills over but I think it works.
Did a corner for the mermaid. She doesn't miss the pool as much now.
