This is the Spiral Table Runner after finishing.















I just finished making this tote bag. It used a charm pack .
I was a lot of fun.


My son from Oregon is here for a week. I got a new computer, keyboard and mouse. And he hook the whole thing up. It has vista, so, some things are a bit different, like finding my pictures.

Some pictures...

This is the spiral table runner that I just finished sewing the top. Now need to get a yard of fabric for the backing and then finish it. I thought the pattern was a little difficult to understand, on how to use the ruler, but after reading about 10 times, I finally got it.










At the Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery, where I volunteer, they have a different exhibition for each of the summer months, June - September. The theme for the August is "Black and White". This is my entry. It is a woven piece. The black and white fabric has timepieces on it, so I titled it Fractured Time. The summer exhibitions are just for fun and the winners are chosen by peoples choice.














TaDa!!! This is my 1st quilt. Margaret Miller of the Dixie Quilt Guild taught a class on Kalideoscope quilts. It was a fun class. I was just going to make blocks and she coaxed me into making this. Mine is small, but I learned the process of making a quilt. I thought I would hate doing the binding, but it wasn't bad at all. Can't wait to show it to her at the Sept. meeting.

I have been trying...

to upload pictures. Blogger won't let me right now.

Had a great time at the Long Beach Quilt show. Bought some really neat tools and lots of fabric. Mostly batiks. I did buy a very pretty quilt kit. It is called Butterfly Garden and the colors are greens, purples and black. Big change from the batiks.

Well, I will try to post pictures later.
