uh, that's a horse with a sword on his head & he guards my hopes & dreams

aha, there it is: three little quilts all in one afternoon signals the beginning of holiday sewing season!  perhaps it was the trip to maine, the trip to Point Judith, locating a misplaced pile of fabric, eating an entire plate of eggs, toast, bacon & potatoes at the diner this morning & not being hungry for the rest of the day or maybe it's just the gorgeous weather we're having... 

which ever one it is, i don't care, i'm just happy to be sewing quilts in my studio again.  it's been too long, dear studio, i am sorry to have neglected you & your beautiful stash!  i'm considering moving all my fabric out of that room & into the middle room of the apartment. does that sound crazy?  i've got a huge blank wall that all my shelves of fabric would fit nicely along...

that first one (which is actually the last one) started with a strip of woven ribbon, the next grew from a piece of "abby" fabric (i often buy fabrics that i think my friend abby would like just because i think she'd like them) and the last one is reminiscent of a larger quilt i made for my sister to give as a wedding gift.  i'm gearing up for the RISD Fall Alumni Sale Oct. 6 & (hopefully) the Foundry Artists Show in Dec.  i also just realized that the application for Craftland is almost due so if you're thinking of applying, hurry up!
