Life …
I took care of Tina one day this week. Her favorite puzzle piece was the motorcycle.
Building towers with my thread kept her occupied for a while.
Paul’s niece, Melissa & Scott and Kaylie from Michigan came to visit her family over the holidays.
We invited our family and a few from her family for supper. Her grandma Louise, her momma Miriam, her SIL Laura and …
… their spouses who had no problem not posing for a picture.
Georgi stayed for a ‘sleep over’ party.
Paul got a 10 point buck this evening.
… as a Quilter
There is still time to leave a comment for your chance to win my 4 yards of 100% cotton quilting fabric here.
I have decided now to make a series of Sailboat art quilts. So I took this picture, which is a little different from the other one …
… and made it into another small art quilt, Sailboat II. It measures 7”X10”.
Detail
The back is finished with “fast finished triangles” and is ready for mounting.

Sailboat and Sailboat II
So now … I’m getting ideas for a third “Sailboat.”

I love your sailboat series. I can't wait to see III. In the meantime, II is amazing. I love the variegated thread "waves" you quilted in the water. Nicely done! Thank you for linking up!
