It has been brought to my attention that I havent posted anything in a long time, so here you go.
I have been busy working on my quilts for the show next year and Im just posting little teasers for you to see, I have 4 pieces done and how many more to go?
The tile shop has been keeping me busy trying to get more people to come in the door!
Miss Bug is doing well, I just love having her in my life, she is a funny little dog!

Well this is what I dyed last weekend, my two color gradations. I did it in two steps, the first color one day and over dye the second color the next day. The only thing I dont like so much is there is a lot of texture. This weekend Im going to dye color to black and I think Ive worked out how to do it in one step. Somewhere in all this is my next quilt!

This is my new dye space, it works very well!

I am not very smart! Every time I start to dye after a long absence from doing it I cant remember a thing! Its like some movie when you wake up and every day is brand new!
What I wanted to do was dye two color gradation, but I just couldnt figure out how to do it!!!! So today I dyed the first color and tomorrow Ill over dye the second color. I know there has to be an easier way to do this so if anyone out there reading this PLEASE tell me how to do this! I dye 2 yrds in the baggies.

Well here I go again!!!! I just moved to Kerrville Texas, why? I am buying a tile shop! Crazy ? I feel that this is where Im supposed to be!
I rented a great house with a wonderful space for my studio and am trying to get it set up, Im anxious to get to work.
Kerrville is a small town in the hill country, but it has an amazing quilt store here!!! They have a large art scene and lots of galleries.
I am very happy. quilts to follow!!!
