Looks like I need a new kitchen window. That ice is on the inside😩
Ok, enough whining- on to the quilting
Made another sketchbook cover. I’m selling these on Etsy which is why I’m making a few. Have only sold one but I’m making them cause they are fun and don’t take that long. This one is machine appliquéd leaves. These sketchbook covers are like making a new quilt that I can actually finish in a few days. 
Here’s the back
Still on the leaf theme, this will be a wall hanging. Should come to life when I quilt in the veins.
Then there is this. Scary, huh. This might take awhile . I guess I shouldn’t bitch about the cold since it’s making me stay inside. More time to quilt! 😉Have a happy new year! Do you have a New Years goal?
Past years I have picked a word “to live by” but then I forget about it after a month or so. It is kinda fun to think of a goal though.
Where on earth do you live? I can't imagine ice on the inside of my windows. That's scary! Here in South Carolina, if the temperatures got that cold and stayed that cold, we might all simply die! LOL! I haven't seen much talk on either of the two art quilt lists which I follow about the "word for the year" but I enjoyed these posts in the past. As I remember it, one year I selected the word "CHANGE" and set very specific goals. I scheduled a small solo show in a local, alternative gallery space for later in the year ... and that kept me focused and accountable. I haven't thought about a word for 2018 but will start mulling it over! Thanks for reminding me! Susan
ReplyDeleteWe've had similar temperatures in Appleton, WI. I took a picture of my studio window, just after I opened the blind. What a stunning image of ice with the light shining through.
ReplyDeleteMy word is OPEN.
Love the leaves in every size and hue.
Oh....those leaves are GORGEOUS !!!!!!!! I have done the word before, but I am like you. What has worked for me is choosing a “theme” for the year. 2015 was circles, 2016 was square. This year I think it will be more of an improv theme.
ReplyDeleteI need to send you a link to some classes I am thinking about doing this year to stretch some creativity. Something completely different for me. I am still working out the idea. I even think the classes are free......but deep.
