WIP - Wednesday 02-28-2007

Thank-you everyone who has send emails and left comments yesterday and today. It is great to have wonderful friends. I could not get through the day without you! I am reading your blogs but I have not left any comments. I love seeing all the creative projects you doing. I am having a hard time getting the words out of my mind to the keypad. It takes me hours just to write my own postings.

I am slowly getting back to the studio.

I showed this wall quilt early this month and today I finished the binding. Another UFO completed. I started this in a class with Melody Johnson in November of 2006.





My Mom, Sister, Brother, Me and our families stayed in a house on St George Island, Florida in August of 2003. I fell in love the island and ocean when I was there for a business trip in 2001. I took many photos of the water, sky, beach and family. I am going to use the hand dye fabrics I received from Joanna from SerenityisBliss Blog. When Joanna wrote about the the "stained" grey fabric it reminded me of the photos I took of the waves on the beach as they hit the sand. I signed up for the challenge and Joanna sent me some of her wonderful hand dyes. The challenge is to use Joanna fabrics to make her a postcard. I am also going to use the Tyvek I received from Julaine from Julaine in Fiberspace blog. The sailboat is a free hand sketch and I use my photos do a freehand sketch for the background. Joanna sent enough fabric to make her postcard and a wall quilt. I am going to use the same sketch for both. I hope this challenge gets my creative juices flowing and keeps my mind off my woes.

When I really need a mental break I am sewing string blocks for my two son quilts.

I am also working on my Quilt Studio March 12 X 12 X 12 Journal Quilt.

Have A Great Evening!
