This quilt was a pleasure to work on.  I enjoyed all of it and it is going home to Natalie, the woman who owns and raises these chckens.  Thank you Natalie for sharing your photo with me and permitting me to create this art quilt for you.

Ponytail Days

When things get crazy, I have not time to do much with hair and makeup so I call these days "Ponytail Days!"  Here I am at work trying to finish up all the accounting with our insurance company for loss of income due to the water damage and the days the store was closed back in January!  It is the final thing to finally close our file!   

In the meantime, I finished the quilting on my "IT" piece this morning!  Hoorah!

Now I just need to do the finish work of binding sleeve and label. 

I also am checking and rechecking my "Cobs" quilt for any loose threads or cat hair or other 

problems before packing it up and sending it to Quilt Expo.

My design wall has this fabric on it.

What do you think?

No....I am not putting all this together on one quilt.

I am just staring at it to see if 

something comes to mind.

It is beautiful though!

I had to go to our local quilt store and in the process of looking at thread I saw this pile of batiks and before I knew what happened I came home with these.  

Can not wait to use them.
