Summer in the South

Here's my finished Crepe Myrtle quilt, "Summer in the South."

It was fun deciding where to be accurate and where I could literally "cut loose." I'm quite happy with the result!

You can see a detail shot and additional information here.

In Progress: Notes 14-17


A while back, I got started on four new "Notes for a Friend," I starte with an ugly quilt, cutting it up to serve as the background for the four pieces. (A much better use, trust me.)

Although I haven't added them to my website yet, I have actually finished them. Here's a detail shot of Number 15. I'll show you the full collection next month.

What's New

Ellen Lindner's photo set up, AdventureQuilter.com/blog
Life is full of successes and failures rough drafts. Since I like to experiment and try new things, I have plenty of the latter. And this month was no exception.

For instance, what do you get when you combine a great photo set up with a point and shoot camera? Blurry pictures, that's what.

On the other hand, I seem to have a fair amount of beginner's luck. It showed up, again, when I tried painting something sorta realistic. That was great fun!

You can read about these adventures and many more on my blog.

I hope you're embracing the adventures around you and recognizing your "rough drafts" as necessary events. What's the saying? "If you never fail, you're not experimenting enough." Yep!
