And the last two

Of the moon series. The series is called "Seasons of the Moon"

You have seen "Harvest Moon" (autumn) and last night you saw "Snow Moon" (winter).  Well today you get the last two.

Here is "Sultry Moon" (summer)



And this is "Jellicle Moon" (spring)



There is still a ton of work to do...stitching down all that applique  and then the quilting.  But there is nothing quite like work that is such fun!

I'm really working...honest!

I'm still finishing the last few details of painting on "Solar Powered", but am taking a break for a couple days to work on my "moon" series. "Harvest Moon" is done and I showed it to you a while back. Well, today I worked on "Snow Moon"(winter), "Sultry Moon" (summer) and "Jellicle Moon" (spring).  This is "Snow Moon"  all fused and the stitching started.



All my moon quilts are made from Vicki's fabrics; the backgrounds are all gradients she made for me specifically for these quilts.  All the other fabrics are hers too.  The moons are lutrador and angelina.  Eventually, we will offer kits for all the moon quilts.

I'm also working away at my Fiberactions "communication" challenge.

The first session of my CircleLord mini classes (the ZigZag template)  at MQR has ended and we had a good response. Now I'm working on the next session which focuses on the basic unit.

So see, I am working....really I am!

More Kitty pictures

but not for the faint of heart... Today I captured them in "hunting" mode.

Chloe with her catch...



Harry watching  and waiting his turn....



damn, she killed it...guess I'll have to eat it now



So those of you who don't have cats, don't bother to complain.  Cats are predators, lizards (among other things) are their prey. It is the natural order of things. And here in our indoor/outdoor world where there are no barriers from inside to outside except for screens which the lizards ignore...well, the cats hunt.

Now, I guess I'd better get back to painting those lizards on my quilt ....at least they aren't crawling all over my house :)

Kitties

Well, the blog is called Rags N Quilts.

It has been brought to my attention that we have been seriously lacking on the "Rags" side of the equation.  So tonight I'll try to rectify that.  It has been unusually cold here in Southwest Florida since the beginning of January.  My babies are native Floridians, so they are VERY upset with the cold weather.

So this is how they have been spending their days....Kim, these are for you :)















I'm still painting "Solar Powered".......hopefully I finish before it kills me.

Getting close....

Tomorrow I'll have a break from painting as I'm headed out to do a lecture and trunk show. But after that, I'll be back to grindstone.

It's been a few days....

But I have been hard at work.  Painting" Solar Powered"...it's slow going, but I am pleased so far, with how it looks.

Then, there are the other commitments...like premier videos!  Done, and will be posted on MQR tomorrow.

And, my circle lord class that is coming up the end of the month,also at  MQR.   Final editing, etc under way.

And since it's been a while, here's a photo of "solar powered", so you can see that there is indeed progress.



It is very slow going, but that's ok.  5 or 6 more days and it'll be done.
