Horsham Art Show

I m entering three pieces of watercolor felt in the Horsham Preservation and Historical Associations art show. This one is Heron at waters edge.

And Bird on coneflower

I m not positive on the third piece I am entering yet. Should be fun to get some local exposure.

Rachels Quilt

I made this quilt for young woman who always admires my work. Its for her 16th birthday and she likes cherries, pink and green. I used the Moda Oh Cherry Oh jelly roll and did a basic strip quilt with ditch stiching. Nothing fancy.










I finished this quilt top last night. Actually I fixed it so its ok from where I really messed it up. One is a close up and the fuller view to the right. Its all asian fabrics in strips.
Now I just need the batting and backing and then figure out how to quilt it. I would send it to Bethany, my neice, who does Machine quilting, but I' m embarrassed because she is really talented and my quilt top is very flawed. Its only the fifth one I have done and its pretty but truly a beginners quilt.

I am working on another top which I m going to be real careful when I do it so I can send it to Bethany to have it quilted. Take a look at her work here http://bethanyquilts.blogspot.com/2009/09/blog-post.html and you will see why I am reluctant to send my very beginners quilt to her.

Maine part 4 show and tell

This was one of the highlights of the trip. I wanted to leave the last day a bit earlier but could not help waiting to see what everyone had to show and tell about.

Maine part 3

After waiting in line to get our meal at Five Island Landing (?)
We enjoyed the view and the meal and the company of each other.

On the way to Maine

I left home and headed to meet Roz. A wonderful felter. She was so kind to put me up for the night, feed me and I enjoyed the garden at her house.

We arrived in Maine and gathered with other felters. We had an excellent teacher at Halcyon Yarn and learned Kumihimo.

Maine Trip August part 1

Just got back from a Northeast feltmakers guild meeting in Bath Maine. Here is a picture of some of the wildlife I saw. This is a Chinook. A beautiful dog with a fantastic temperament. Very calm with a herd of felters stomping around the house.

This is another Chinook on guard duty with its head out the cat door. They take their job seriously. Actually I think she was just getting some air. These are sled dogs.



Michael, pictured here with the many Marudi was waiting for us to finish our meeting so he could begin the lesson. Awesome teacher! This picture was taken upstairs at Halcyon Yarn in Bath Maine.
Some of the information he had available for us to look at.


More later.....
