In a slump

This year was crazy with quilting projects. So now even thought I still have things to do I’ve hit a slump.

These are the projects I’ve completed this year.

I made a king size quilt for our daughter. I did not quilt it, but I did piece and bind it. That’s her cat on the quilt.

I made a gnome for my sister.

I made a gnome for my girlfriend.

I made my recycle piece and won first place. The piece finally made it back home to me. The person that returned it is a portrait artist and she was still raving over my piece. I take that as quite a compliment.

From the Inner Mind to the Outer Limits

I made my piece for the word challenge at a local art museum. My word was wonder and it sold.

I finished my city collage quilt. It’s 45 by 66.

I made a portrait of my sister’s house for her birthday. 

So mentally I’m pretty shot in terms of motivation to work on the Halloween quilt. I know I will get going on it soon, but I needed a break.

I’ve been playing with some AI images. The one with the Raven is for the recycle show next year. The theme is “on the books.” I will put the either Poe titles on the books or scary story titles like Sleepy Hollow or the Shining. I have several variations of this. Here’s two of them.

I’ve also created a few other AI images for quilt ideas. I like the first one because it’s weird and scary. I like the city scene in the rain in the second one.

Thanks for reading.
