One of my quilts was featured in a Treasury!

My "Coffee, Cream and a Country Morning" quilt was featured in a wonderful treasury, here: "A Chill is in the Air" by my dear fellow Etsy member, PrimroseTranquility! And what an appropriate name... it was chilly here in SC when I got up this morning, around 57 degrees!

I'm very busy putting the finishing touches (labels, etc) onto several small quilts to take to The Dark Corner, which is opening NEXT WEEK!!!

My goal today is to finish machine quilting #4 out of 4 Limited Edition "Campbell Ridge" wallhangings. There are 4, each very individual in fabrics and quilting designs. Design and pattern are my original work, based on an antique quilt block pattern:

Have a wonderful day... I FINALLY have internet again, after about a month of having to go to the library to use it! I don't know if anyone even noticed I was gone, but I'm happy to have this outlet to journal in!

Sewing away...

I've been SO busy sewing I haven't had time to post lately... I'm machine quilting the inaugural "Moonshine Memories" quilt for the Dark Corner Distillery, which I blogged about a week or so ago.
Also, working on some new ones; hoping against hope

Thoughts....

This is not another quilt. This post is not more photos of my latest home redecorating project.

Here are some thoughts I had today, in church of all places. Our pastor was talking about how God doesn't open doors for us until we have the character to use the gifts He gave us and keep at it in that room that He opens the door to...

I'm stoked about this!!

I am so super excited... I have a (once-in-a-lifetime opening for any artist) opportunity to sell my work through a new retail/historical storefront ON MAIN STREET IN DOWNTOWN GREENVILLE!!!! This place celebrates the local history of our Upstate SC area, and they are going to carry exclusively my line of quilts made exclusively for them, of course along with several other local, traditional artists.

This one is a stunner!! My latest quilt...

I started with this absolutely gorgeous "Hanemai" fabric, by Yuko Hasegawa for RJR Fabrics... I fell in love with the details, the gracefulness of the birds, the depths and shades of the reds-I knew this HAD to be a quilt! 

Here is the fabric laid out, with a cream border...

Isn't it beautiful???
