Orange, burnt umber, and black contrasts a sunset scene.  A panel was cut into 16 pieces and sashes and mitered corners in each pane provides the illusion of looking through a window.

I shipped out these two quilts along with the book Sleeping Beauty and a book on Van Gogh to go with them. Donated these to the annual FOL fundraiser to generate funds via raffling them off for the library. #quilting, #quiltsky, #quilts, #sewing, #libraries .

Working in my home pottery studio to try to develop a -new to me -form of art. Art is the only thing keeping me somewhat sane lately lol. I also finished this quilt top that I’ve loaded onto my longarm frame today.

I’m glad you like it now though. What pattern are you making? I will avoid ripping seams out if I possibly can but an error will drive me nuts forever so I usually cave and fix it lol.

This serene window quilt top is on my design wall tonight. I cut a panel into 16 pieces to create the gazing through a window effect, I used a gray fabric for the bottom of each pane to give the effect of evening. I needed something soothing to focus on. #quiltsky, #quilting, #quilts, #sewing.

Small quilt wall hanging, just finished this simple piece for some color on the wall of my pottery studio. I’m a retired librarian so the Poe inspired book stack is personal. It’s shown on a queen bed for size perspective. It’s quilted in a swirl edge to edge design. #quilts, #quiltsky ,

Nebula background fabric with stylized planets and space objects fused to it.  Oumuamua is created from gray fabric with permanent marker ink added to make it look like a rougher surface.  I added a comet tail to represent the newly discovered visitor 3I/Atlas comet.  Earth is depicted in top right corner along with our moon.

Quilted hearts with the word peace stitched in by my sewing machine.  Also has other positive symbols like a USA flag, peace signs, butterflies, and cute little whimsical metal charms.

Created more hearts to spread peace and love in my community by leaving for others to find. Sometimes leaving them at medcenters where someone facing difficult/frightening situations might need a little love in this world where hate is normalized. #quiltedhearts, #quiltsky, #sewing, #quilting

As an old lady quilter on the eve of the no kings protest, I’m honoring the hippies who came before me, I’m doing the peace love thing by leaving hearts like these around town for others to find and keep. Love and peaceful protests conquers hate. #quiltedhearts , #peace, #quilting

No!! Bernie and AOC are the only ones really fighting and inspiring voters. Warren tries and a couple others do some town halls but otherwise I’m wholly disappointed In the lack of backbone being demonstrated overall.

A Van Gogh like cotton panel cut into 12 pieces and sashes added to create the illusion of window panes.  Nine panes shown here completed so far. Bottom sash is light powder blue, left sash is mottled brown to create illusion of wood panes.

I took this artistic Van Gogh ish panel and cut it into 12 pieces and added the sashes to create the typical attic window look. Nine pieces shown on right. On my design wall tonight. Still in progress. #quilts , #quilting , #sewing , #quiltart , #sew .
