I snapped this picture just before sundown and started work on a wallhanging Quilt Portrait immediately after.  This would work out just perfect for the Quilting as Art workshop I was to do for Art Night at my daughter’s school.

I will update this post with a picture of the wall hanging soon.

Here are some pics from the first quilt show my daughter and I visited. Our faves were the dog quilt and the purple starburst one that had crystals in it. We met lots of friendly people there and got some good leads on where to find quilt stores in our town.

Dad's Lap Quilt

I smile when I think about the Quilt I designed for Dad this year every time I hear the weather forecast. I chose fleece for the backing and a “cool dude” pattern for the front. It has a black bckgrd with dragons and flames on it. The fleece backing keeps it from slipping off easily. He has many hoodies to wear to keep him warm on top and now he has something to keep his legs toasty. (He gets cold more easily now).
