Louise Kirchen

Dad/daughterTelecasters! Doesn’t get much better imho. With Bill Kirchen & Julia Kirchen Sweeney.

Christmas quilts I made for our lovely granddaughters Eva and Zoe a couple years ago.

Never know what you might find at Uncommon Objects in Austin.

Good boys!

“Anything Goes!” My newest work in progress (WIP) Stay tuned for finishing touches …

Snowscape today in Buda

Ok but not ideal. A bit small for my machine. Studio still a work in progress.

But I think she might overwhelm the other designs.

Or … this might be a perfect opportunity to use the fab Statue of Liberty batik …!!!

Ready to strategize piecing it all together now and adding the borders. Horizontal orientation is new for me. Open to ideas & changes that occur during the process.

Self scripted by Audie.

So let’s get going Louise! Orders from Amma Dillo, project manager.

These two!!

Me and my new home studio pics.

Studio updates- Foxie has adopted an adorable kit named Felicia, Amma Dillo signed on as keeper of the quilts and general project manager while Little Louise looks on approvingly. My new sewing room mantra speaks for itself!

Derek Huston on sax was fabulous thru out the night.

Singing Austin de Lone’s All Tore Up with Bill Kirchen, Tim Eschliman, Lesley & Caroline de Lone at his self directed posthumous celebration of life. Thanks for everything Audie, you were so loved and will be so missed by your family, friends, Marin County music community and beyond.

We climbed a ‘small’ but challenging mountain rewarding us with 360 views of the Bay Area on Saturday our last day in beautiful northern California.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. For canine nativity scenes!

On the design board today. I’m at it again, seeking to capture a bit of Big Apple magic in a collage using some really cool fabric. PIP = play in progress!

Santa digs him the most!

Familiar ornaments gathered thru the years bring a sense of comfort & joy. Especially the ultra cool bongo playing skunk!

I made the leap to blue sky from fb today after reading about Z’s recent contribution to T. That can’t be good.
