Where did the time go?

I can't believe it is already mid-April! I haven't been blogging but I have been quilting. I've been working on three projects, all of which have advanced, some more successfully than others. The first project, and the one I have finished with, is a group project that one of the women in my craft group…

Thread Painting Finish

This quilt was a bit of a roller coaster. For those of you who have read my earlier post, I decided that the reindeer offered the best combination of possibility of success and being something that I could imagine hanging in my apartment. Here's the original photo, taken on a trip to Finland a few…

Quiltcon! and Threadpainting

Some of you may be aware that Quiltcon, the Quilt show of the Modern Quilt Guild, has been moved online. The pandemic has brought many terrible things, but for me, having mahor quilt shows and their classes online is a wonderful opportunity. I still hope that I'll make it to one of the major shows…

I am still here!

A Holiday Outing

Israel is once again in lockdown, for at least 2 weeks, more if the covid cases don't go down. Vaccinations are being rolled out, but it will be some time before enough of the population are vaccinated to make a real difference. A few friends and I took a last-chance-before-lockdown outing to Dor Habonim Beach…

Finished and Ready to Gift

I seem to have lost track of time, and suddenly it is a month since I last posted. In fact my quilt has been finished for a week. I started it as a practice making stars and intended it as a toddler quilt. I may have gotten a bit carried away.... One of the things…
