Poinsettias and Egrets

The challenge for our Southern Fiber Artist's group was to make a piece that measures 8"X11" and use the color red and the theme flower. I call my piece

Poinsettias.

I made this sample to try out thread color and placement and then decided to finish it instead of throwing it away. It only measures 4"X6" but will make a nice gift.

This is printed on the back of the black mat board.

The leak in the pond is finally fixed and we had rain; so it's filling up again.

The egrets found the shallow water to their liking.

The Pond and a Lost Quilt

Life ...

I got to keep Joel & Sheila's children for a day and a night. While Georgi was in school Talya and Delta used the high chair as a desk to color.

I have enjoyed our pond out in front of the house so much. We get a little wildlife and then the morning sunrises are magnified by the reflection of the sky in the water.

The pond has been leaking for some time now; and finally we are getting it fixed. Yesterday they cut a hole in the dike to drain the water.

Itlooks different from over here on the levy.

With the water draining out there were thousands of small fish locked into puddles of water.

... as a Quilter

Yaaay. The lost is found. Paul brought in my "Ugliest" quilt the other day. He said he found it in the farm Pete.
