This trip around the world has been languishing on my long arm for

TWO Years. KING Sized!! And yes I am Still drawing and painting. All done at the inner Bean on top of sewing.

My friend Marie Atkinson finally finished it for me. And is it yummy or what. A spring garden.

Before that it languished in my hall closet in the UFO pile.

Thanks Marie.!!!

Love the grid quilting.

The back Hoffman Iris

She even sewed the binding on which I made when I pinned the quilt together at least 17 years ago. All fabrics picked out 20 yrs or so ago at the first Sewing Gallery for a class with sweet Susie.

In the meantime I have fallen into the quilt puddle getting baby quilts done.

A green 1930s yellow brick road for a certain sweet baby boy.

A fractured drunkards path for another sweet baby boy. One in my grandma hope chest for the next baby boy grandson.

A baby tumbling block!!

Next up are up ufos. Did I say I have several?! Let’s see a huge lone star and an African drunkards path a couple of appliqué tops long since finished and another one that just needs piecing. Hmm

Is that all?!

Posting old stuff that was in my drafts folder for

Some reason. No idea if they are duplicates or what. Happy New Year!!!

I suppose you might wonder after all these years WHY I have started a new blog?! Several reasons but the main one will be to have a professional art blog from which to sell my art. This is it!! Welcome!! Glad You are Here!! Hope you come back soon!! Be sure to join the email list link so you get an email when I add a new blog post.

Other reasons:

The old blog scquiltaddict.blogspot.com no longer fit what I do and hasn't in quite a while. Time for a change, right?! I may still post family posts there but…join the email list so you don't miss any of my posts!!

I have been hearing good things about wordpress for a while. I ran across a youtube video about selling your art on line and I joined up. Here's a link to the video 5 Things Every Artist Needs to Know to Sell Art Online.

Amazingly Cory Huff did exactly what he said he would and fired off a reply to my question…stay with the old blog or start a new professional one…he voted for the new professional one. So here it is!!

Welcome to my New BloG!!!

Day 321 – I meant to be

May 27, 2015May 27, 20152 Comments

drawing more strips today. What did I do? Long arm quilted all day. For 7.5 hours. Good to have those done. I do free motion quilting which is mine drawing all over a quilt. All designs are drawn no markings. One of my favorite people strips. Love all the action and different clothes.

These were drawn at the concert a few weeks ago. I drew tons of pages. The brush pen allows for a lot of quick drawing. These people in the chairs were an experiment. Something different after filling up an accordion book. . Not sure how successful it was but fun to do.

Here’s some of what I did today.

This king sized trip around the world quilt has been waiting for 15 years to be finished. Worst part of this was taking out the jillion safety pins. More to come.

It’s about 100×120 inches. All two inch squares.

Mostly made of Hoffman fabrics which is a Cadillac fabric.

Friends granddaughters first quilt. Her grambo helped.

A baby quilt for my nieces son. Only a year late. 😳 But he will be here home fromJakarta to nap under it in a week or so!!! Exciting!! I would post a whole pic of it but it’s upstairs and I am downstairs and TahrEd!!

A wild storm rolling in from Georgia out my back deck. Now a deluge and lightening aka dogs NOT happy!
