Vote for “And Waved to Me”

This flag quilt is number 3 in a series of my “United We Stand” quilts. It is in a online competition and I would appreciate  your vote over here. http://quiltinggallery.com/2012/11/30/vote-now-star-quilts-3/

The quilt is made from all the red, white, and blue scraps I had. Do you remember the “ AOL quilting community”?. The patttern for this quilt was a project there. It was designed in the days after 9/11/2001. The pattern is found here http://anotherpat.com/qt/flagquilt.pdf

 I sewed two different half yard pieces together for the back . The quilt measures 43 x 33 inches and is machine pieced and machine quilted.

Regarding health and  fitness I enjoyed running/walking the 5k10k race for the Church Health Center . There were a total of 655 participants with more women than men running/walking.  I did  not win a metal but made it to the  Finish line. I started the race  at 09:04 and finished at 01:47.  I'm happy.

A tiny micro chip is embedded on this piece of paper (bib) so the runner /walker get a personalized result.  Now isn't this state of the art.



Peace, love, and art,

ATC Swap

Enjoyed making these  jewels for  www.quiltinggallery.com ATC swap.  Something about working small that sparks my creativity. I often try new techniques that I may want to use in future projects.

For the ATC's I will be sending to my secret partner I chose "Celebrations" as a theme, Christmas, Independence, Earth, and Halloween Day cards.  I've been playing around with fusing plastic bags like the kind you get at the grocery store  and made my backgrounds for the cards from the plastic bags. After fusing  the bags with the iron  I painted them with acrylic paint and cut them down to the required 2.5 x.3.5 size.


                                  ATC's  for my secret partner

4 patch block ATC's my partner sent to me.

The begin of summer is right around the corner and I am thinking watermelons. I just love them and decided to make a

watermelon quilt for the "Food for Body and Soul " charity quilt project . End of the month finish date for this quilt and my wholecloth quilt

Prairie Wildflowers .

Peace, love, and art,
