What happened to the past few months! Well:
This was the last group project that I organized. It was for the Binbrook guild and I had "planned" to do a demo on back-basting at the June meeting, to end the season. All the background squares were either white, cream, grey, or black, with text of some kind. All the center circle pieces were somewhere between yellow and red.
This 80 lb golden doodle thinks he is a lap-a-doodle.

Here are two more quilts of the same pattern, but different colour choices.
I love seeing the same quilt made two different ways. These are customer quilts, but this pattern is definitely on my "to-do" list.
Example #1 - dark geese with light background.
COCO UPDATES
This is quilt work from January. During the pandemic I didn't really have a lot of opportunity to go over quilting ideas in my studio - we were all afraid to get within six feet of each other. Quilts would get dropped off on the front porch and we'd visit for a little while. The quilt would stay in quarantine for at least three days, then I'd photograph it and email doodles to the piecer so we could kick around ideas.
This was such a fun piece to quilt! It's based on the flag of India and was the last "custom" quilt of 2021.
Much of the quilt is hexagons.
FIRST FINISH OF 2022
This one's mine. Started on New Year's Day and complete ...

Dog Days: the hot, sultry, uncomfortable days of the Northern Hemisphere summer corresponding to the annual rise of Sirius (the Dog Star) over the horizon. Yuck.
Sirius (and its doggy constellation Canis Major) is a feature of the summer sky here in the Southern Hemisphere too. And since this past week was hot, sultry and super uncomfortable here… I’m proclaiming that our own Dog Days are upon us.
This was Arkaroola on Sunday. What you can’t see is the stinking-hot gales of wind to go with the humidity. It ...

This is the first piece of art that I have created in more than a year.
My mother died on June 6, 2019. I was a wreck. My sister and I had spent over a month in the hospital with her. It was a drain on us both. I was barely holding it together during her illness, but after she died, I was broken. I thought I had an aneurysm or a stroke. My language skills were depleted. My memory was unreliable. My emotions were chaos. I didn’t feel like myself and I didn’t think I ever would ...

Annoying!
That’s what it is… annoying…. when someone unashamedly thinks that they are the centre of the Universe, and then it turns out that they actually are. Or close enough to. Can you imagine how big the Chameleon’s head is this week since he found out the entire galaxy revolves around him?!
Okay, he is still exaggerating. But he did find a constellation named in his honour this week, thanks to some stargazing adventures in one of the local observatories.
And consequently, the Chameleon’s head?…… it is Huge!
My progress on ...
