I was looking at a photo of the Halloween quilt last night and began to think the thread I quilted the castle with was too stark. Rather than ripping it out I used a blue gray Fabrico marker to darken the stitches. I think it’s more subtle and looks better now.
Thanks for reading 2 days in a row.

This Halloween quilt has been on the back burner off and on for years while I worked on other projects. I’m finally at the end of it and have reached the I don’t care about this quilt any more. Or maybe I should just say….harrumph!
At this point I just have some small details to work out, then blocking and sewing the binding or facing on. Of course there’s the sleeves and a label as well.
Do you ever reach the I don’t care any more stage?
Thanks for reading.

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.

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.
