Craft at Cadillac Ranch?

Ok, spray painting the cars at the famous Cadillac Ranch is kind of crafty or kind of artistic! Ok it's hot and I am grasping at straws here. Well I did take this pictures with our new Nikon D300. I guess I will have to make something handmade soon--

Quilting for charity

I have no pictures of the quilts but I did work last week with a bunch of ladies on some double sided fleece quilts for cancer patients,

It has been to hot in Texas to even want to craft or create. I just want to sit near a fan. Luckily, I remembered that I took this pretty flower photos with our new Nikon D300. I hope you enjoy them. They were taken at a inn we stayed at near La Jolla.

heart shaped dimensional yo yo's

Something to do on our family road trip! I found this handy notion in our local quilt store. It is for forming heart shaped fabric yo-yo's. Read the instructions carefully and after that they were a snap to make. I could complete one yo-yo, including trimming the fabric around the templates in under 2 minutes. these were fun to make.

Labyrinth Triangle quilt

I am working on this large wall-hanging for my friend's new family therapy office. Her grandmother game her some lovely old fashioned pale yellow sofas and a pale green rug. This will have radiating equilateral triangles shading darker at the bottom towards lighter at the top. It represents people shedding their fears as they get help towards a lighter tomorrow. I also plan to quilt this with a single labyrinth pattern over the entire quilt, layering the meanings, eh?

This is the pattern laid out and then very carefully numbered and picked up in order and pinned. I hope I don't get off because these triangles can be quirky to work with.
