Another portrat Quilt

This is a protrait quilt of Mia. I made the dress she is wearing and her mother Sara took the photo near her other grandma's home in Banning. It is very low value and did not photograph as well as it looks in real life. These photo quilts are so fun.
I hope you can join me for a class at Ginger's Quilt Shop in Upland for three sessions. Thursdays Oct. 15,22,&29.

High Tide came home

My last Bernina garment "High TIde" has come home to live in the closet for awhile. It is just in time for the next silk painting class which will begin on Wednesday Sept 2.

The Artists Lair

This is what my side of the "Studio" is looking like. Tomorrow is moving day for Sara. I will go to work on finding all that has been lost and put into a "safe Place" on Friday. I will be crying on Thursday.

The Grandchildren Quilt Project

I am back at the "Grandchildren Quilt Project" and am working on a quilt for Mia (8yrs old) about dessert. I found this darling panel while I was in Nevada while tending grand kids. It was perfect for the base of the quilt and I love the colors.
Mia stood by me while I stitched today for about an hour asking all kinds of questions about the process. She is excited about the way her quilt is turning out.
I have learned that you need to do the first one and then do another just like it to correct the problems you had with the first one. I doubt that I will.

Underwater Wonders is going to the Show

I just received an e-mail that my quilt "Pacific Ocean, Underwater Wonder" was accepted into the International Quilt Festival Show "Westcoast Wonders" which will debut at Long Beach Quilt Festival. I'm excited! Now I have to make a label and a sleeve for it and get it ready for shipping.

It's a boy!

I'm a great grandmother! I thought that was only for old folks. My grandaughter Julie had a baby boy, his name is Mason Flynn Shaner and they live in London. He's so cute.

I'm back!

I have been trying to figure out how to make the blog work again. I've been outdated and I had to change formats. Now the learning curve starts again. I'll do my best to figure it out and keep you all informed!
