Making Them Beautiful

Take a Look!

Long Beach Quilt Show

I spent the day at the Long Beach Quilt Show. The quilts were fabulous! The high point of the day was meeting Jamie Fingal at Make It University. She recently won the big prize at the Alliance for American Quilts competition about making new quilts from old designs with her zippered log cabin. http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs011/1101594196900/archive/1103547470165.html. Her trademark zippered quilts are wonderful.www.jamiefingaldesigns.com

Doodle on Colored Page

This doodle was done on a page provided by Traci Bautista. Isn't it colorful? I now need to create my own colored pages to use as backgrounds. I used Prismacolor pencils, some gel pens in purple and green and Pitt color pens. How fun! This online class continues to hold my interest.

Another Cactus Doodle

This little drawing is a cactus. I think the lower right corner shows the essence of the cactus. I have to work on those spiny, pokey spikes.
