and my neck and shoulders know it.
I’ve been working on the Halloween quilt. Here’s some photos. I will be doing the sky next, then the castle, and then small details. I’m getting there.
I made my husband happy by baking these sticky buns this week.

A while back I entered my Outer Limits piece in a Pennsylvania juried art show that they have during the arts festival here in July. My husband loves this piece and said it would get in. I said it would not get in. So we had a bet about it. Well it looks like he won the bet!
Here’s the status from this morning.

This is the piece that got in.
 |
| From the Inner Mind to the Outer Limits (12 in by 12 in) |
I have entered this show 4 other times and have gotten in all 4 times. I’ve entered other juried shows 3 times and have gotten in all 3 times. That is just amazing to me! This is a show that you have to complete against all kinds of fine art—paintings, photos, mixed media, pastels.
Thanks for reading.

After posting about my upcoming show in July I received a comment that I should be showing my architectural quilts. That would be great except for 2 things….I only have 15 feet of display space and I don’t really want to sell most of them. I think I’m too attached to them. The quilts that I am showing I’m not as attached to. Some of the ones that I’m attached to I feel are almost like my children. Some of them took way longer than 9 months to birth. Maybe that’s why I’m so attached to them.
Here’s the ones that I can’t part with.
 |
| Grandma’s House made for my Mother |
 |
| Schoolhouse. I wanted to make a red and white quilt for years. |
 |
| When the dark night seems endless. My Amsterdam canal house quilt. |
 |
| Latest quilt called In the City |
 |
| Dawn on the Charles Bridge. |
Are you attached to some of your quilts? Or is it easy for you to let them go?
Thanks for reading.

Here’s a screen shot of the advertisement. The title of my show is “Stitched Stories.”
Here’s an AI image of the quilts that I have decided to show. The relative sizes are a bit off, but the quilts look good together. The title shown by AI is not correct.
Thanks for reading.
