ANOTHER FLANNEL QUILT

The weather is still chilly outside but the weatherman is promising a warmup soon.  In the meantime I am trying to finish up another quilt similar to the one here.  Once the top is complete I will put it on my long arm and quilt it.

In the meantime I am practicing different quilting styles that might fit the top.  So far my favorite one is doing half circles throughout.  I haven't gotten into pantographs yet but I am gearing up for that.  I am also thinking about renting space for my long arm quilting projects.  In any case, I had better get sewing!  I will keep you posted.

DREAM BABIES

 Joanne and I have been thinking about adding other creations to Dream Designs.  We are both dedicated to the belief and desire that whatever we create will bring comfort and peace to whoever purchases our designs.  The idea of Dream Babies was conceived as a result of the recent destruction that we all have experienced and our desire to bring back a sense of hope and thoughts of peace through our art.  Dream Babies is still in the conceptual stage but is getting closer to becoming a reality.

We are really enjoying ourselves and our friendship through this project which I believe shows in everything we do together.

It is good to be back!  While I was out of the studio my girlfriend and business partner Joanne started a business called Dream Designs.  The photo on the left is a sample of some of our items that we make; all of 100% cotton, french seams, and thoughtfully paired designs.  The idea was Joanne's brain child and I jumped at the chance to work with her.  Our product has been received very well and we will be adding more designs as we go.

Every time I make a pair I think of who might enjoy them.  Once the pair is complete I repeat this mantra to myself....."May you be happy, May you be healthy, May your dreams be fulfilled".   

I am still creating art quilts and wearable art.  I am also becoming a Certified Zentangle Teacher.  I am very excited about this.  For those viewing this blog for the first time I did a previous post as to what a Zentangle is. Until the next time....

May you be happy, May you be healthy, May your dreams be fulfilled.
