Indeed it is a quilt, 3 layers, but I've painted with thread to achieve the quilting and it opens up a whole new path to walk down. Can you imagine one of my Russian photos…. an icon, heavily gilded and strong dramatic lines… I think that has to be on the the do list on…

Challenge No 8 – completed.
I got up early this morning and finished the quilt… in reality it only took about 15 minutes to do it but I was tired last night. In the past few months I've done 4 pieces similar to this, but not quite in this genre. I can't show them because they are for exhibition. However,…

Almost finished. I just have to do the yellow skirt. I've loved doing this, it's taken all day…. the quilt is 10" X 8" and I attacked it with passion this morning. One thing that surprises me… look how much stitching is on there…. and yet the borders have remained flat… no puckers… I think…

The guy lashed out…..and I ran
One of those days.
Do you ever have one of those days. I woke with a shock during a terrible dream. But…… The sun cameup brightly, the garden smelt wonderful and everything was right with the world. Then we received news of a terrible tragedy in our community… a Mother, her two children and another child killed in a…
