Back to Work After Isaac

Finally!  All the cleanup is done around the house and yard. We are still waiting for a couple repairs to be done...but they are things we cannot do ourselves. So while we wait for the repair people I got back to work.

I finished the applique on the "Dream" quilt, so now it's waiting it's turn to be quilted.  "Clyde" also is finished and waiting his turn on the longarm.  I started piecing the background for the big Dream quilt..this one is for show so it will take a while.

I started painting the 5th fish in my series of 6..meet"Harvey"



On this one, I'm changing the order of things...the background will be painted last.

And I got a good start on my Fiberactions challenge piece due Sept. 15th.  The color challenge this time is a Triadic color scheme.

These are my chosen colors



I started by marking my background pattern like this



and this



I then mixed my dyes and sprayed the background colors. After batched and washed I added the applique ...a small peek below



This afternoon, I loaded it on the frame. Hopefully quilting will begin tomorrow.

It  feels good to get back to work...but it really feels good to have the AC back on again. :)
