A Quick note as I run out the door…

Happily, I have been stitching for the past week! I haven't done too much that is very artsy, but have been playing  with those scraps and strips I cleared out of my cubbies and other places.

Here are some of the grocery bags I have finished this week. Available at my Etsy Shop.

Now to the running part….. I am leaving for Western NY to stay with my 95 yo grandmother for a week or so. She is coming home from the rehab center where she has spent 3 weeks, after a week in hospital after nearly dying from hypothermia after a fall. She spent a very cold  night in an unheated porch, and came through very well. I am looking forward to having the extra time to spend with her. We are not sure how much help she will need… She has been really independent, and still has her own home.

I am taking a machine and a batch of my strips along with the art quilts and ACEO's that need beading. Not sure how much I will be able to do, but by taking both machine and hand work, I won't have a chance to get bored.

Hopefully I'll get back to blogging when I get home. There is only dial-up service that I will have to share with my mom, and there is only one phone line, so I won't be on the web much- mainly downloading email,etc.

"See" you all when I return….

About

I am a former textile artist and new pattern designer with a degree in horticulture, wishing to share my love of nature, flowers and gardens with everyone through my photos, sunprinted fabrics, and now pattern designs. Chronic Lyme Disease has caused major changes to the direction my life. I have to limit the amount of time spent digging in my gardens, and quilting has become more difficult. I discovered pattern design as a way to get art back into my life. I now use my gardens and photos to inspire designs that can be used on fabrics and print on demand items.
