Quilts. textiles. acrylic. mixed media. screen prints. photography. Donation quilt for silent auction. And I spent an afternoon with one of our cousins and we all worked on this quilt. It came together pretty quickly with three of us sewing, pinning and ironing seams while listening to one of my favorite weekly podcasts, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me! We decided to make this University of Texas. Quilt and donate it to the silent auction that is a part of this year's Relay for Life. My team, Goertz Family Ties.

Quilts. textiles. acrylic. mixed media. screen prints. photography. WiP Wednesday.It's been a while. Lately I have been working on a wedding quilt for my cousin. Her wedding was about three weeks ago, and I am still not finished. I would love to show pictures of it, but Robin. Is nosy and would read this and see photos and then she would start hounding me more than she already has been. "Where is my quilt? When are you going to finish it? It just doesn't stop. ;). The Austin Modern Quilt Guild. I sewed t...

Quilts. textiles. acrylic. mixed media. screen prints. photography. A quilt for a sailor. And I have been working hard on a quilt for her brother (my cousin) Ron. He is in the Navy and is on his way home from his latest deployment to Afghanistan. He has been deployed seven times to different parts of the world, including Somalia and multiple trips to Afghanistan. I found a more modern way to layout friendship stars on the wonderful blog, Fresh Lemons Quilts. Laying out all the stars. On Friday night Robi...

Quilts. textiles. acrylic. mixed media. screen prints. photography. Once again, let's make this a quick post today. Anyway, back to what I am working on right now and next month we can get back to some studio revisions and priority shifts. This is another Anna Maria Horner. Figure 8 scarf kit. But I chose different fabric this time. The first one that I made. Turned out so lovely and I immediately I ordered another kit. (And I see more in my future.). I am making these pot holders to sell in my Etsy shop.

Quilts. textiles. acrylic. mixed media. screen prints. photography. My grandpa's birthday party yesterday was lots of fun, I will write more about it in my blog post about his quilt. This morning I bought a coffee from Starbucks and then got to work cleaning my kitchen. It would be more fun to be sewing all week, but I really do need to do some Spring cleaning.and by Spring, I mean mid-July. :). New table for my fabric cutting mat. Easel and painting table. Mini bolts of fabric. Let the vacation begin!

splendid calm: Grandma's quilt for her 82nd birthday
http://splendidcalm.blogspot.com/2012/01/grandmas-quilt-for-her-82nd-birthday.html
Quilts. textiles. acrylic. mixed media. screen prints. photography. Grandma's quilt for her 82nd birthday. This is a very special quilt that my cousin Robin. And I made for our grandma, who turned 82 on December 26, 2011. I thought about our two quilt tops a lot in the months that we were piecing them together. Will the two sides work together? Will the colors clash? Are we making two very similar things and there won't be enough contrast between the two? Robin's side of the lap quilt, bento box blocks.

http://splendidcalm.blogspot.com/2012/07/let-vacation-begin.html
Quilts. textiles. acrylic. mixed media. screen prints. photography. Let the vacation begin! Today is the first day of my week long vacation. I originally had plans to tell no one about my vacation and stay inside my house for nine days and do nothing but sew and listen to podcasts. But that is unrealistic, isn't it? Last night I spent some time doing some cleaning that has been on my list for months. I organized my pantry. Boring, empty patio. I do have some fun things planned for this week:. Monday - fi...
