First of all I want to say a very heartfelt thank you to those who have checked in with me the past few months that I haven't been blogging. It is so appreciated and so nice to be remembered even though I haven't been "out there". All is well, but sometimes life just throws up too many obstacles for one to always what one wants to do.
So tired of our exceptionally cold, dreary, wet winter, I just returned from a walk in the most welcome sun, some pre-March winds, and warm temperatures. It was inspiring for me, to say the least. After 5 months of not posting, and with the holidays past, it is time to shovel out of the rut.
One of my projects included a collaboration with my extremely talented daughter, Casey. Check out her Pinterest boards. It was such a great experience to work with her on 3 pieces. I can't share details or photos of these designs quite yet, but it is coming soon.
Meanwhile here are a few photos of some of the experimenting and quilts I've been playing with before and after the collaboration. All are unfinished, my normal way of playing.
