Rain, rain ,rain

What a summer this has been so far. The only good thing about it is that I like to work in my studio on rainy days. With our quilt show coming up it has been a good thing.

Now I have been able to finish a couple of new pieces for the show.

Doreen's daisies is quite a large piece and it pretty well just rolled out of my brain. Sometimes it is this easy.

Having bought a variety of Kaffe Fasset fabrics , the challenge was to make it work as another Madonna. This one will not be cut up for journal covers.

Now for info on our quilt show.

Summer Shows

It's July 1st today, where have six months gone. I am pretty excited about being in three shows this summer.

First I have five fun pieces in the Tay River Gallery in Perth for the Summer Sizzle Show that runs from July 2cnd to August 30th. If you are in the area, come and check it out.

This St. Maarten Piece is one of them. Every December we go off to St. Maartin in the Carribean for a holiday. Sitting on a deck chair in the heat I was always amazed at all the blues that you can see so I tried to capture it in a fun and happy way. Those are my toes on the deck chair.

The second exhibit I am in is the Intrigue into the 1000 Islands Show, at the Marianne Von Schiffler Gallery at St. Lawrence College in Brockville. I was pretty pleased to get into this juried show. The opening reception is on Saturday July 11th from 2 - 4 p.m. You are all welcome.
