Grandmother's Legacy is on It's Way to Paducah

I had Grandmother's Legacy all packaged up last week, got down to UPS and guess what too soon , that is a first !!! Today she is on her way to Paducah .
Spent most of the weekend on the The Quilt With No Name and getting stories written up for my fantasy/goddess series to put on Grove Eternal website . I hope to include The Colour Side of the Moon and Fairy Moon . I emailed Mike today to see whether he will accept my art quilts in with the drawings Today I am doing threadwork on the middle ground and foreground on TQWNN.
I am happy the way things are coming together

Photos of the Sky

You have to take into consideration all the threads and I have not pressed it yet

The Sky Is Falling Threads

Wow I have alot of threads to sew back in after the sky is complete . The Quilt With No Name's sky looks good . I am pleased . I will take a photo tomorrow in the daylight .
That is about all I have been working on today , I call it work yet I know it is definitely play time ... right ???
Have a colourful evening

The Endless Sky

It sort of feels like that cause I have been sewing for days on the sky of The Quilt With No Name . So far so good , it looks like how I was hoping it was going to look .
Changed the thread to a darker blue from Bottom Line for the clouds and sky that are on the edge of the quilt at the top , I want the thread to give the illusion that these clouds and sky are closer to the viewer.

The English Branch

I forgot to mention that the watercolour of all the teeth and gorgeous red hair is half complete, aways to go or should I say only 10 more paint washes, give or take... yet a light at the end ...

I Know It Is Tuesday Yet Where Did The Weekend Go

Beautiful days out there somewhere , actually right outside the door
It was a few days of picking out threads , some of my threads are small and on top of that I baste things !!! Then the delightful job of putting everything back hopefully the way they were !
I am talking about the readjustment of Grandmother's Legacy sleeve for AQS Paducah Show , I also hope to never do that again !!!
This week is continuing the threadwork on The Quilt With No Name . I am at a very important part so I am doing it slowly , the blue sky . Decided to use Superior Threads Bottom Line a light blue on bottom and top looks alright so far ...
The yellowish cloud I did the same sort of line sewing using Superior Threads Bottom Line . Heather helped me choose and she picked out the thread that I am using in the quilt . Heather also was the one that told me to try Bottom of the Line on the top and bottom

There used to be a store in my home town that was called Dreamweaver
this store was wonderful . The owners of Dreamweaver are now on line and I have asked them if I may advertise my Goddess series and possibly my Art Quilts and they have agreed . So that means that I am about to tell their story to the world... kind of cool . The excuses I can come up with to not to write the stories ... oh yeah I am good at that . I do not notice a dirty floor until the day I have set aside to work on the epic sagas or oh I should ...
The commission piece I have been working on forever . It is the one that I always put aside so that I can use the table space for a much better reason , so this watercolour has been set aside alot .Well , I have news that it is actually looking good , I am pleased . They might receive their painting yet !

The Computer is Home

The computer is home and a new larger monitor came with it , very nice...
Yesterday was a day of learning patience all over again . The sleeve requirement for Paducah is 1/2" from top of quilt my for Grandmother's Legacy was 1/4"
First I had to get through my hand sewing then I had basted and then machine sewn the binding and the sleeve together . Oh , the best part was getting the binding back on , I am being sarcastic !
Today is a hand-sewing day putting the bits back together
I also hope to do some more thread work on the sky of The Quilt With no Name . Actually I am quite pleased with the progress so far .

First day of blogging /or what the heck am I doing ?

Still on Harry's computer so I am going to make this short
I have heard that blogging is a good idea , I believe who ever started the whole thing must agree
My quilt which I have no name for as of yet is coming quite well . I have been sewing for about 4 hours a day . I find that that way I can really look at the quilt and decide what... am I doing now ??? I am at the threadwork stage of the sky , it is funny when you work on something that you enjoy time just slips by . I have tunes going as I work usually big band , 70's stuff , hand stitching usually Ricky Tims . Have not got to that stage though .
Photos will come when I have the other computer back
I am getting all the paperwork ready , then sending Grandmother's Legacy to Paducah next week . I am excited to be in the show
