Hello,
Tonight is a the full moon and it is what is called a Cold Moon. It is also the last full moon of this year. The next full moon is in the first week in January. I have always been fascinated by the moon and check the sky almost every night.
I hope everyone had a pleasant holiday. I went to Joyce’s talk at the Schweinfurth last week. She did a good job showing her diverse approach to the fiber world.
This is a shot of her many baskets.
Winter is in full swing here in central NY and due to a lot snow storm, we put off my trip with Sharon to Old Forge to pick up our work. We will try again on Monday.
Progress Report: Crystal Blocks This quilt is 38.5 X 38.5. I started this at the Sisterhood Retreat in Oct. After a false start and a rework of the block design this is the finished piece.
I am thinking I may do the block a second time with different emphasis.
Double Quilt I have now finished the second side of this piece. It in based to the batting and I am now ready to move on to the next step.
New Lap A friend gave me a bag full of her old cotton shirts and I have decided to use it as the jump off for my next lap quilt.
Tree Serries- Block 1 I completed this first block and I have decided it takes more than a week to do the job. These blocks are bigger so a years worth of projects will probably do the trick.
Tree Serries- Birch Tree This is the second square for this project. I want to add some interest on the ground and it will be complete.
Black Capped Chickadees I have started adding berries to this work. Stitch circles is slow for me.
Broken Block- Polk Berries
This is what I want to build on top of the second Broken Block series. I started this one at the Fall retreat at the Schweinfurth.
Scarp Happy All the rows are added to the quilt now and I am ready to begin the boarders. It is all made from left over blocks so it it a bit random.
It is a busy time of year, but I hope to get into the studio a bit every day or so.
Enjoy the season.
Carol
