I have started attending a quilting group on Monday nights. I said I would never to this but with Card Club a no go and a stash of fabric leftover from aprons I need something to keep busy. I have made 3 quilts and my very old rotary cutter is toast. The blade no longer rotates because the pin is compromised and will soon fall apart. I bought a new one which I will give a spin tonight.
I am starting on a new quilt tonight. The piece of fabric I have for the back is so nice seems a shame to cut into pieces I will make a strip QAYG one to see if that would be faster.
I am waiting to hear from the rep for the charity to which I want to donate these quilts. Maybe email is passe as far as a method of communication so I may have to resort to the telephone. I sure hope I will have a place to donate them soon.
I finished Moonfleet by John Meade Faulkner this week. It was first written in the late 1800's and the English is not modern. The images in the book are very old style as well. When I researched this book a while ago I discovered it was set in Dorset England so I decided to give it a go. The story is good. A orphan lives with his aunt, befriends an older man from the community who is involved in shady business which gets them both in trouble. The love of money and wealth gets them deeper. The are exiled and then imprisoned. Fate does see it fit to returned them to their precious English coast. The young man reunites with his lady love.
I am working on my 2020 Photo Calendars. I am working on high key images. It is a technique where through lighting most of the shadows are eliminated and the background is blown out so only the essentials are captured.
This is a set of bottles my sister found for me. I love them. I have placed a dark dried weed with them and made that the focus.
I think it works pretty well. What do you think? Leave me a message.
This photo says that fall is here even though the date has not declared it official yet.
We are having some days of Indian Summer here in Alberta. Enjoying them to the fullest.
