I have just started the most beautiful small Japanese Kimono silk quilt that I have ever seen. It is made from antique kimonos belonging to the recipient’s family. Included are some wonderful photo transfers by the Pixeladies. Barb brought it yesterday, and it is one of 3 show quilts that we are working on together. Here it is on my longarm machine quilting table:
The next quilt after this is a stunning egyptian quilt- one with beautiful colors. I can’t wait to quilt that one, too.
The third quilt was pieced by Barb for me. I plan to quilt it with some innovative carla designs. The working title is “Carla’s Garden,” but I need to come up with one that is better, one without my name in it. LOL Hmmm… I’m sure a new name will happen as I work on it.
More quilty pics and news as I work on them.

Retail Therapy– Today I visited a discount tool place called Harbour Frieght to pick up more metal working tools. I found some metal alphabet stamps,
disc cutters, a doming set,
hammers, etc. of course, the one item they were out of was a polishing/tumbler machine. While my first love is fiber art, which includes quilting, I find I am really enjoying working with metal.
What are YOU up to creative/art wise????
