Old Viscount

Went for my usual walk

(begining to be usual as I attempt to decrease flab) and what do you suppose I found? Brian was with me and he helped me drag it out of the woods by the bike path. Someone carefully placed it right side up, this sewing machine cabinet, next to a water main blow off. Really weird. I wanted it but what would I do with it? The veneer was in bad shape and the machine obviously doesn't work and besides Jim would kill me if I brought it home. It was so tempting because it is old, but not old enough to have value. So we placed it beside the telephone pole and I guarantee it will be gone before the day is up. I wonder what the story is behind this one? hmm...

Flashing can be fun

Here is the quilt I call Turtle Bay at Night "moms doing her job". It is interesting how using a flash will make such a difference in the apparent coloring that shows. It was a fun quilt to do and I had to get it out of my system since it had been on my brain for quite a while to use the technique. Hopefully the professional photographer can get a better pic of it. But perhaps it just isn't worthy of being photographed. it is dark but that is because of the way it is created. Shiva paintsticks on quilted fabric. Fun stuff, kind of smelly since it is oil based.
