Heat wave has begun.  Today is scheduled to feel like 105 with the humidity.  Busy day today, so won't be able to get into the pool until late afternoon. Can't really complain, at least we have the pool.  Posting a few pictures of recently finished wall hangings.


This one is a fabric translation of an oil painting.
















This one is just a touch of color

Well today I will travel to Manchester, NH to drop my brother off at the airport, and then back home for some pool time. Expecting it to be 90 today and a heat wave coming by tomorrow afternoon. Unless I can figure out a way to sew in the pool, I don't think I will be doing much sewing or quilting for the next few days.

I have just finished a few more pieces using some new techniques and a few old ones. I made myself a wallhanging for the sewing room which came out really well. I used a Loralie stamp and enlarged it. Then I used the fusible applique method to "color it". Added a few touches of acrylic paint and voila!! I received permission from Loralie to post the picture on my blog and Webshots.
