100 Days of Doilies Day 83

Brand Spanking New! One of a pair I am making for my sister's new guest room.

100 Days of Doilies Day 80

Deb said her Great Gramma made this one. How sweet. I am very partial to purple.

The Next CQ Book Cover for February CQJP

Why in the world is purple so hard to photograph? I took about 25 shots to get this one and I'm still not happy with it. Oh well. Much prettier in person, as they say.

Joeseph's Crazy Quilt

My friend Joseph out in California (somewhere near the Mojave Desert... I hear it's hot there) is an artist extraordinaire.I made him this quilt after asking him what colors he wanted. His reply...Yellow, Scarlet, purple, turquoise. OK Joseph, how did I do?

Here's one of his websites

More than One way to Skin a Cat

I decided the Eating-of-pictures that occurred Monday might actually be a blessing in that I now have several days worth of posts I can do by re-posting two pics at a time. (Of course I am assuming the pictures will actually show this time, which I won't know until I click the publish button)

So anyways..........the fabric bundles are the purple/silver I cut for my 2009 color forcast line and the blocks are the ones inspired by my friend Pat Enos.

I went hiking in Palmer Park with Vickie Coletta yesterday. I left the camera sitting on my cutting table after showing her my work. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! We are planning on hiking quite a bit this spring/summer so I hope I'll have pics next time.
