Drawing a wholecloth quilt

I've been taking an online class at Mqresource.com, taught by Adam Chenenivert (I know I spelled that wrong, sorry Adam!) This is my first time taking a class in this format. It is interesting, not as enjoyable as taking one in person but quilt useful.
Here is what I have drawn to date.

Spring Musings

Yesterday I was having lunch with the Monday Afton Lunch Ladies and two of my friends mentioned my blog. My poor neglected blog. It seems as if Facebook has eaten up any extra time I might find to spend at the computer to share musings and events.
I think they both have a place and I need to do better here.

Speaking of eating up time, have you seen the Owl box? http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox

I was up late last night watching McGee bring food for Molly and the wee ones. And I find myself checking on them several times a day. I find the whole thing amazing. I can't help but wonder what my Dad would have thought. He was a big animal lover and as a kid we had several wild baby birds that we raised.

Middle of January

Gosh, how does it happen? Time just flies by. Seems like last week I was at retreat. Since then we have had 3 holidays and now a new year.
At retreat I finished my sister's quilt. Gave it to her at Christmas and she loved it. Not too surprised, I loved it myself.

Over the River and Through the Woods

Well not really, but close. Today I leave for Hamilton, NY (home of Colgate University) and the White Eagle Resort. My favorite quilt shop, Sew Nice of Norwich, NY is having their 4th annual quilters retreat. 53 quilters will spend 4 days, 3 nights sewing their little hearts out. Do you have any idea what it is like to sew from 8am to 11pm? It's exhausting I tell ya! Good thing they make us break for meals. And what meals they are.... full buffet 3 times a day and always different. Yikes! Since I gave up cooking a big Thanksgiving meal this will do for me. I'm pretty sure we will have turkey one night, and prime rib and lasagna and and and...

A Festival of Quilts/Chenango Piecemakers Show

The Chenango Piecemakers held their semi (or is it bi?) annual show this past holiday weekend. I set up Friday and the show ran SSM 10-4. Thank goodness I have a DH to help me schlep all the stuff! I made lots of new contacts and got lots of folks to take the Mille for a spin. All in all a good weekend, even if the lawn still need raking ;o)

Early Fall Morning

We had rain last night and the air is heavy and moist today, yet cool. This sight greeting me from my kitchen window this morning.

Purple Aries Women Magical Mystery Tour

On Monday the Purple Aries Women (l-r Sharon, Barbara, Eve, Gretchen) took a trip to Cazenovia, NY. Sharon was the tour guide for the day and took us to an amazing art park full of wonderful sculpture. We than had lunch and did some retail therapy in town.

These books are wood, an amazing sculpture growing out of a fallen tree.


Check out the view, a perfect fall day, except it was August.....


Standing trees.

The Purple Aries Women are four women who became friends through Barbara. We are all born in April, on four consecutive days and we all have purple room in our homes. A perfect reason to celebrate and enjoy one anothers company, don't you think ;o)
