Late summer

Late Summer

Finally summer's waning...

and of course some stitching

clothes this time.

and some cloud stitches

and painting, always.

Spring + stitch

Some generations stitching

Something to wear

A diaspora stitched

And some calm stitching.

A busy spring so far.

I've been stitching.

It never stops, no matter who sees or who doesn't. It's part of me, and what God has given me to use. Blessings.

November

Farewell!! One of my favorite months. Starting tomorrow, for December I am just posting images.

It's been a productive year.

I miss her.

Quilt National 2015

A Happy Mail day! I'm very happy to have received a 'yes' for the big art quilt show Quilt National 2015. It's a tough one to get into, I feel fortunate. This is one of the pieces not chosen. "These are the dresses I used to wear".  I used all sorts of fabrics for this one, many of them recycled. About 43x50"

And a detail photo

Mending and mama duck is back

Stitching away in August, the doggiest month of the year.

In the painting studio

A little clothes sewing from Tina Givens wonderful patterns

And August art daily is wrapping up.

Late Summer

I'd like to be like the French and just retreat for August, maybe to the sea or mountains. I'm not picky. But for now, I'll just stitch and continue to make stuff.
