My family celebrates many birthdays in April, including mine. Then we also have Easter so there's lots of getting together. My children treated me to a wonderful Easter Brunch at a lovely hotel on Lake Winnipesaukee here in NH. I got to stay overnight in one of the beautiful rooms and my daughter and grandkids enjoyed a swim in the indoor/outdoor pool.
I've been making more small art quilts and really must get back to completing the queen size Log Cabin Scrap Quilt I started some time ago. I have a Handi Quilter but mine is the older version, not as expensive as the present models. I'm setting it up to quilt my brothers quilt...finally finished after too many years! He's a avid fisherman and has travelled to many places to fish. He fly fishes only and is a believer in catch and release. The quilt has pictures of him over the years enjoying his passion. Hoping to post photos of that quilt soon!!
Here are a couple of small Art Quilts that I've been working on. The quilt with the poppies was influenced by Laura and Linda Kemshell of Design Matters TV. I used my own fabrics that I had hand dyed and I'm very pleased with the outcome but it still needs a moon in the sky. The other quilt is made from some of the painted, dyed, screen printed and stamped fabric I played with several months ago. I had a few pieces left after making "Leaves I" so decided to try another.
