New quilts

The first one is for Project Linus and is cuddly minky on one side and regular Winnie the Pooh cotton on the other side. Minky is tough to work with being a stretchy material. I ended up putting the two pieces together with basting spray...then actually basting and adding a satin blanket binding to hold it all together.
The second one I've been working on for while and one of my nephews thinks it's better as a wall hanging than a baby quilt. Sure, it's not traditional baby colors but there must be some discriminating babies out there who like sage green and brown ....we'll see!



Such a good feeling to have these completed.

Animal Wednesday and the Big Draw

Poor Miss Em had a bad day, and Sammy is trying his best to cheer her up. Think it'll work?

Happy Animal Wednesday to all my fellow animal lovers and drawers.

Another question for my friends out there - do you copyright your artwork and/or your blog? Just askin'!

The Big Draw - October 12th




After our epic bike ride yesterday, I couldn't help but draw my ideal, made to order bike - with its accessories and maintenance package.  Of course, instructions are also handy. 

My scanner isn't big enough to scan the whole picture, had to do it in bits and pieces. Color comes next when I get a chance.

The Big Draw - Oct 11th

After a very, very grueling 7.5 mile bike ride (of which I walked more than half, pushing my bike) I had a few minutes to sketch the tree that I crashed into at the very end.  
I am bruised, and battered, and sore from my head to my feet, but feel like I got a good day's play in. Hot bath...wine...a little food and bed  - that's the plan.

The Big Draw - and a look forward to a nice long weekend


Fact is...this guy was not drawn today. I did him awhile ago but messed up my drawing for today so am cheating and posting an older funny drawing.  
I've been remiss in visiting my blogger friends, new and old but will find time to catch up on everything. We're supposed to have a gorgeous weekend here , perfect fall New England weather, which means I will be spending my days outside soaking in the last of the sun.  I actually look forward to rain some days so that I can have a day at home. 

See ya!  happy columbus day!
