Dude

This is a dude I have been handquilting.  I am trying to force myself away from realism.  I am happy to report that besides my local classes, I have been hired to teach in Orlando and at a retreat in Sebring in 2014.  Looking forward to more fun experiences with quilters across the state.  And what could be better than a retreat with other Art quilters??? Lucky me.

Newest work

I can only show parts of this because it is for a competition.  Finished quilting it late tonight!!
One of my favorite parts of this one is the shoes.

Cleaning house!

I have been getting organized.  Because company is coming, I have had to clear all my stacks of papers off the kitchen table.  I moved all my projects off the couch.  I cleared my sewing table and cutting table, and vacuumed everything.  I feel so accomplished.  I have also been knocking off many customer quilts, and finishing several of my art quilts.  Wow!  The planets must be aligned or maybe it's the cooler weather that is making me frisky.  I even trimmed a bunch of trees in the yard today. 

I should have taken 'before' photos, but really don't want to remember what it all looked like before I cleaned.
