My arts gone public!

Library that is!

I just spent a couple of hours this morning trying to get it just so.

(do not look at my big tushie. I SAID DON'T LOOK!)

The kids liked being all alone in the library before opening hours.

I'll take you on a tour.

The display case when you first walk in has some of my bags and quilts large and small.

View as we pass.

Then we walk up to the book return.

Closer view.

Too close.

Then to the other side.

(don't use your cell phone here)

The wall to the left has this small quilt.
It usually hangs in my living room.

The other has my days of the week skulls.

Do any of you remember the days of the week tea towels?

They were these towels that ladies embroidered back in the 50's or so.

A lot of them depicted kittens or Scottie dogs doing the chores.

Well this is my updated twisted quilted version.

They are pieced, appliqued, painted and quilted.

*I have to give credit to my artist friend Keith for the ribbon display. He had done all the work for hanging them this way when these were at the art center. It made hanging them today for me so easy.

These crack me up every time I look at them.

Then above the CD rack is my "Good Morning" quilt.

I used a wavy lined fabric for the roosters tail to depict movement.

And used music note fabric for his body.

Then in the very back corner (our library is huge),

is another tree quilt.

It usually hangs in my den.




Anyway, that was it. Another quilt artist will be hanging her work soon.

We get the whole month of May to show our work.

I'm a mix of nervousness and pride.

I finished a quilt

I was having suffering from sewers block at the tail end of winter. Needed to make something other than bags and was itching to make a quilt. The plan is to try to sell it at one of my summer shows.

I made this quilt top, or bottom in March. (its reversible)

Here is the other top, or bottom, before quilting.

Some of the fabric has sea creatures on it so I quilted it with watery swirls.

Here is the top or bottom all washed and puckery.

I love the puckery.

I finished binding it on mothers day.

Speaking of Mothers Day, the guys went to get Chinese take out while the girl and I made egg drop soup, hot tea and set the table for out Mothers Day lunch.

I know that was forever ago, but this pic was on the camera when I down loaded the pics and I couldn't resist.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes to my girl.

She likes to decorate her own cake, she got her cake decor skills from me.
