Hanging Loose Comfy Wrap

So we were playing with Indigo dyeing. So we have to experiment with shibori techniques. So we look up the web to learn all we can. But one thing leads to another, who knows where we might end up? On seeing the beautiful wrap coats of Karen Illman Miller at Nautilus Fiberarts, I just have to figure it out. Besides, there's this colorful yardage sitting around crying out for attention...

Et Voila, my version of "Hanging Loose Comfy Wrap" was born in a jeffy. I'm ever so pleased.

Meet Oscar, my new pal

I once had a friend named Oscar. We played in the amateur mandoline group together every saturday at the Preville Fine Art Centre.

Oscar the Octopus was born today. Isn't he handsome?

Good Time making New Friends

The highlight of this week is my 3 day visit to Perth, Ontario with the wonderful new friends of the Lanark County Quilters Guild. I am delighted with the enthusiasm and energy level of this group of seasoned quilters. Watch them spinning out circles! Thank you all for inviting me.

The side trip to Brockville on the home stretch was combined with a most enjoyable dinner with 2 of the "Threads" and an eye-opening visit to Kit's studio. Did some damage to Jennifer's "Picket Fence"

Welcome 2008 - Happy New Year!

Segue -- Pronunciation: (sā'gwā, seg'wā)

First morning of the last month of this year.
How time flies!
It was shortly after the new year 2007 that I began with you.
I might have subjected you to periodic neglect, but I don't think we did all that badly, everything considered.
Should I promise I will come more regularly from now on? in teh coming year?
Why bother. I think we are doing just fine. Anyhow this is an exciting morning, a bright cold winter morning. I suppose winter has come to settled in earnest as predicted. The sun rise I saw out of the window was just beautiful, pre-breakfast and breakfast conversations were more exciting than normal. A good beginning.

Now is a good time to segue. Yes, to seque. This is the reason why I'm writing now. What an exciting idea this is. Can't wait to see how it will develop.
