Oh, these last few months have been extremely busy for me. My art quilt group had a big display at the BBQ Show on the last weekend of September. I was so inspired by all the amazing creativity displayed at the show, it inspired me to come right home and make another Kawandi quilt in three days. Oh, then I received an e-mail on Oct 4 about an extended call for art quilts in the Idaho/Montana Regional Art Quilters (SAQA). So, I made an entirely new art quilt in three days, that I just got mailed out to Montana on Tuesday. You can see that quilt here. It is titled: The North Cabin.
Meanwhile, I finally had time (one afternoon last Sunday) to go out and obtain a new printer for my computer. I got an EPSON ET-3850, and my wonderful husband got it all connected up for me. I Love My New Printer. Then of course, I was also contacted to pick-up a truckload of quilt fabric from another amazing quilter who has gone on before; Vesta Bergen. Her sons had it all in boxes and they put it directly into my pick-up. I need my pick-up next week to load up and head up to a quilting retreat in Cascade, so I rallied my Piecemakers of Idaho to do a fabric sale this Saturday at my house. It is happening! I need to clean my house! and sweep out the garage and muster some tables, etc!
That is what a madhouse it has been for me lately. Back to the new printer . . . the old did not work so well, so it had a stack of crap on top of it. I went through said stack of crap and got it all handled, including an 18-month-old clay project for another group of ladies that I belong to. Done!
Here is my completed clay project, using every bead that I made and decoupaged. I spray sealed it yesterday and strung it all together last night. I hung it next to my latest Kawandi, which has a Halloween theme. It is okay to call it a Kawandi (instead of Kawandi quilt), because Kawandi means quilt. I love my Spooky Houses Kawandi and my clay Hope art piece.
