Owl Love

I've had owls on the brain ever since I saw my first ones a few days ago, right across the street from our house. And look what I ran across this morning at Jessica Levitt's blog. I think you'll agree these are a must-make any time of the year. I think I need to order some felt.
Talk to you later.

Part Two

Here's some more photos from the Marietta quilt show I attended. This is the Best of Show quilt, Metropolitan Garden by Jane Gorder. It's a reproduction of a Baltimore Album quilt in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was so beautiful to see,so much work and so beautifully executed.





I was really charmed by these guys having a fondness for nutcrackers as I do.




This quilt used a lot of Kaffe Fassett fabrics, another love of mine. I've a large collection of them but never made anything with them. I need to change that. He has a new book (yay!) coming out soon, by the way.


Love the aqua fabric in this double wedding ring quilt called Blue Moon.


The stitching on this quilt was incredible!

and the back was finished with loads of beads and positively glittered. Just stunning!


Thanks for stopping by.

Inspiration

Hello all, hope you are enjoying Labor Day and the end of summer celebrations. We have another two months or so before things cool off here in Florida.
These houses and gates were in the village of Goritsy which is located on the Sheksna River in Russia. Many of the houses in the village were brightly painted, I have no idea why as we didn't encounter this anywhere else. I really think Kaffe Fassett should shoot his next book here. I can just see his quilts draped over those gates and picket fences, can"t you?

And finally my daughter Natalie in Red Square. Happy Birthday sweet girl!
