Up coming show....

I am a member of the Painted Hills Fiber Artists and we have a show opening at the St. George Art Museum on Saturday, to the public. It will run through May 11th. I will post photos after the preview that will be happening on Friday evening. It really is a wonderful show. I am so hoping we have collectors show up that might purchase one of my works or one of the other member's works. I think there is only two of us that are really hoping to sell!
I had a busy day today, although I don't have much to show for my days work!  I did have a nice visit with friends at a friendship quilting group. I picked up a couple of quilts today from my previous customers. 
It is much warmer here tonight than previous nights....39 as of 9:15 this evening.

Happy New Year.....

2012 is over..... it went by way to fast. I am happy with all the stuff I accomplished during 2012 and hope to be more focused on my art ... fiber art ..... and watercolor painting during 2013.

I got the quilt guild's kids quilt finished.... well ready to be taken to Rosemary H for attaching the binding. She is going to do the hand work.








Also made a yoga bag for a niece. I thought it turned out great. The only problem was all yoga mats are not the same size. My niece has a larger mat and the bag turned out aprox 5 inches short. I put a lot of work  into it thinking all mats were the same size. I won't take anything like that for granted again.

I got Lael's quilt finished. I am happy with how it looks. I did have issues with the batting poking through. I used Superior Threads Rainbows in the top and Sew Fine in the bobbin. I love the way Rainbows looks, but it is not the easiest thread to use!

Thanksgiving 2012


I have so much to be Thankful for..... My husband, girls and other family and  friends! I am so lucky to be living in such a wonderful place on this beautiful earth as St. George, Utah. I have no wish to live any where else. Dave worked today so we were unable to travel to be with family. We hope to go to visit my parents and friends in Moab after Christmas. 
I have been quite busy with customer work and finishing my art quilts that will be shown at St. George Art Museum in January. I am not sure of the opening date, but will post it as soon as I know. It is going to be a wonderful show and I would hope that anyone who is able would attend. Robert's photos will be shown along with our interpretations in fabric. I feel these are the pieces are the best work I have done.  
These are photos of my completed art quilts. Rob was very happy with them.







I haven't posted anything on my blog for a while. I have been busy with customer work and finishing my art quilts. The only thing I have left to do is to put hanging sleeves on them. Rob took photos of all of the PHFA groups quilts. I am honored to be part of this group. Our show at the St. George Museum is quickly approaching.
I have not gotten our Christmas Cards printed. I really haven't decided on an image. I am thinking about using one of the photos of my art quilts. But.... have not decided.
I want to wish all a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday Nov 1.




It is already Nov 1! I can't believe the time is going by so fast. I finished a couple of my art quilts and am working on my third. These are going to be a show at the St. George Art Museum in January.....

Dave and I are heading to SLC tomorrow to go to Kelby Lange's wedding. I got the binding and label sewn on their quilt. Going to give them the black and white owl quilt. It is one I made last year. It has 4 applique owls in various stages of sleep and waking. It's cute. I hope they like it.

I got a lot done today.... cleaned up the leaves in the back... washed windows in my car ... finished quilting Cheryl's table runner. Got the bindings sewn on the second art quilt and the Lange's wedding quilt. Now... time to go to bed.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
