Life Is Art...

  I'm still quilting my Birds In The Pineapples quilt. Hoop, stitch, unhoop...repeat...a lot. I'm making art - and loving my joyful and creative life.

Bye, Bye Birdies...

 They're finished and on their way to new homes!

This is the tote that Cheryl will be receiving from the Sweetheart Valentine

Giveaway I held last month. I used the Moda Martinique fabric line, sweet

baby birds from Michelle Palmer and I even added ribbon from Moda to the strap.

It's fully quilted, and I designed it myself. I'm very happy with the result, 

and I hope that Cheryl is equally happy to have and use it.

 I made two table runners. One was for Amy (the one on the left),

and the other is for Joyce. The table runners measure approximately

14" wide and 51" long. I hope they have tables or buffets long enough 

to accommodate them. Of course, they could lie across the end of a

bed if one chose, too. The binding on these table runners was applied

by machine and then finished in the traditional method - hand sewn.

 So, I can cross another UFO project off my list! I hope that Amy,

Joyce and Cheryl love their giveaway gifts. I'm really happy with

the way they turned out, and I'm looking forward to their reactions.

I have a commission to finish next, and I won't be able to debut them

for you. That will be the privilege of the recipient. That means that, 

even though I'll be a busy needleworker today, I won't be able to share

pictures tomorrow. I have another subject in mind, though, so I hope 

you'll come back again. I'm also going to start thinking about my next

giveaway. My Fourth Blog Anniversary is just around the corner!

(Actually it's a week from Friday! I can hardly believe it myself.)

Have a great day! I'm off to the studio...
