Under the Sea


If only... I didn't have to go back to work Monday... I would have so much more fun creating. It has been great having a couple extra days off after camping. Today I took a piece of turquoise dyed canvas and added sea urchins and plants in tie-dyed fabrics, and stitched away. Hey it looks like someone dropped their martini olive off the boat. I dyed the turquoise piece and the brownish piece myself but used bought tie-dyes for the rest. And, yes, being around water sparked the inspiration.

Quilted Fish

Post # 300 Bloggers are terrific Giveaway
I stopped by Pam’s blog and she has a #100 post giveaway, and I checked my post number and I’m at #300! I thought I better do a giveaway!

Just getting back from a fishing trip… so here is a colorful quilted fish. I am still experimenting with my Juki and wanted to try the circular background as opposed to regular stipple.

Leave a comment and I’ll put you in a drawing for the fish. Even if you stop by and you never comment… do so. In one week (Friday, June 19th) I will draw the winner. I will post the winner at that time, plus if you have a blog I will leave a comment to notify you.

The quilted fish piece measures 8 ½” X 11”.

Flaming Gorge 2009

We're back... We dodged rain storms the entire time... and would get little spells of sunshine.

This was camp... we had 12 people and 5 dogs.

Annie got out on the boat, the puppies stayed at camp.
I didn't take lots of pictures this year due to the rain. We ate well and had a great time.
