Seaway Autumn Studio Tour


Last weekend I spent a lovely few days in a studio tour with some of my friends. Pat hosted the event and here she is busy working on a quilt.



Buttons helped us a lot.



Bonnie Lemaire, Pat's daughter and my web designer with the original illustrations of her book. Her children's books are fun and whimsical, you can see them at http://www.booksurge.com/
Her artwork makes me smile and I had to buy the pink elephant that you see on the left. Now if you see a pink elephant in my bathroom ,you can't have anymore wine.



My stuff on display.



Wendo's display.



Joann Zorzi's display. You can find her at jozodesigns@rogers.com



More of Bonnie's work.



Wendo and Joanne enjoying the day.



Here is Xman with his own original canvas which I just had to buy to hang in my studio.
It has a happy home here. Great job!!!

Thansk to everyone for an inspiring weekend.

WORKING AT HOME


My bed quilt top is finished and now it will be off to Pat Lemaire at Purplepatch Pieces to be quilted on "Elvis" her longarm machine. It sure feels good to have this project to this point .



Back to my mosaic experiment. This certainly has been great free motion practice as I have gone around each shape three times. I sure got the texture that I was expecting.




Then it was more free motion between the shapes. I wanted to push the grout down even more.


A closeup of the stitching, I love my new camera. As you can see the stitching doesn't have to be perfect to be effective.



Now some playing with paint. These will become the binder covers for our retreat.


Love what happens when you spritz it with water.
