"Reeds On The Mullet River" Revisited

 "Reeds On The Mullet River"

Remember this quilt.  I made it when I was a member of "Interpret This" .  Interpret this was a group of quilters who interpreted photos (from ea. member) each month.  This was my interpretation of my photo.   It is now going to be entered in the membership show at Gallery 110 North here in my home town .    Gallery 110 North has just been completely renovated and it is fabulous.  The show runs from March 1 - June.  There are many talented artists in this area and I am happy to show with them.

Lots of Good Things

 Today I went to see my quilt hanging in our local art gallery called "Gallery 110 North".  If you do not remember this it is called "Reeds On the Mullet River".    Not a good shot of it but you can see it here:  "Reeds"

 Our Gallery has been remodeled and the new gallery is wonderful.  Still needs better spot lighting adjustment but over all it is a huge improvement.

 The work was wonderful and I enjoyed seeing some of my friends work as well.

When I got home a package was waiting for me.  It was an Acrylic painting by Libby Fife.  I won this in a drawing on her blog last week and it arrived today.  I put it on an easel on my dresser.  I love the colors and Libby's technique.  If you want to see her work visit her blog here:   quiltedcraftsman

 It came with a photograph of another of her paintings on the front of the enclosed  card.  Thank you Libby, my cup runneth over!

I also have my kitchen back.  Yes the tile man came back and sealed the edges where the tile meets the countertops.  After he left I could put everything back on top just being careful not to put it against the wall too close as to hit the grout line.

I am so happy to have a working kitchen back and it looks fabulous to me.  Nice and bright and cheerful.

The day was a good one despite it being cold and rainy.

December's "IT" photo

It is my month to send in a selection of Photos for "IT".  Out of the group sent this is the one they chose.

Here is it's story:

The city of Plymouth, where I live was first settled by native americans because of the river running through the middle of town.  The river used to be called Ta Quit Qui Oc or crooked river.  Somewhere along the way it was changed to the Mullet River (not near as colorful). 
If you are interested you can go here for more information:
Ta Quit Qui Oc

I go down to the rivers edge on the north side of town a lot because it is where the Canadian Geese are usually gathering in abundance.  I was there in early fall to photograph them when I decided to take this shot of the shoreline.  I love the reeds and plantlife that you can find there.

I am excited to see what our group does with this photo of mine.
