The second, larger rabbit quilt is done! These are such beautiful quilts.
A quilt hanging off the frame of a longarm quilting machine, as quilting has just been completed. Cream colored linen blocks with navy blue rabbit shapes, navy borders, and burgundy linen cornerstones. The rabbit blocks are quilted with flowers and leaves in relief.

No morning walks until I can see the world outside again.
Two panes of a window almost entirely frosted over. A glimpse of the sunrise can be seen up top.

Now that the groom has given this to the bride, I can share what I did last month: Art quilt of the entrance to the Grafton Inn, where they were married. Approx 30 by 30 inches.
Art quilt of the entrance to the Grafton Inn, Grafton, Vermont. A brick building with white trim, white 2nd floor balcony, green chairs on the porch, stone steps and iron railing to the door. A thistle design on the door (for the bride) and an arrow for the groom (a runner), and their names and wedding date quilted into the bushes in front of the porch. Made by Linda Diak.

Happy Thanksgiving! I’ve made the pies and deviled eggs - while Tom prepares our meal, I’ll be quilting bunnies.
Quilt in progress - cream squares bordered by navy blue, with dark red cornerstones. Each square holds a navy blue rabbit.

Our village green is lit - just need snow.
Bills green at night with pine trees lit with white lights, and lit orbs hanging in the taller trees.

Did some re-arranging. The otter went to a local gallery for the holidays, and the zebra was too long. Dresser was moved and replaced with my Alden Amos wheel - which has languished for over 15 years due to vertigo. She's polished and I'm going to try to start spinning again.

Quilted while listening to The Life Impossible by Matt Haig (thoroughly enjoyable listen!). This wonderful piece is by Joan Kaiser, based on an image of her father as a young boy. The rings are unfinished work by her grandmother. A special piece that was a joy to quilt. it took 43 thread colors.

My studio rooms are cold. I bought an electric fireplace from Costco last month. It fit perfectly in front of the existing unfunctional fireplace. Costco put it on sale this month for $299. Mine was delivered in November, so Costco returned the $200 extra I paid. Yay, Costco!

I have the honor of quilting another Joan Kaiser masterpiece this week. The grass is taking forever, but I love how it is coming out. Joan's work never fails to impress me, and never fails to challenge me too.
art quilt in the progress of being quilted - the piece is by Joan Kaiser, based on a photo of her father as a young boy. In the foreground is the boy, in a yellow shirt and light blue overalls. He is in a field of greens and browns. A cream colored house with a windmill, a tree with a tire swing are in the distance. The pale blue sky is filled with rings made of vintage prints and "ghost" rings of the same pale blue as the sky.

A customer's Christmas quilt I finished the other day.
A portion of a Christmas quilt: A black background with "Joyful Noel", a cardinal, two berry branches, a glittery snowflake, two clouds, and a roof top, with a red border quilted in holly leaves, and a larger white border quilted with feathers. Christmas quilt - white border, red smaller border, and on a black background there are skaters, skates, a home, a church with a moon, mistletoe, poinsettias in the corners, an old fashioned street lamp, and the words "Joyful Noel."

If I'm going to be called a witch, I may as well own it. Went to the Art Fair at Reading Greenhouse yesterday (Vermont). Neomi Lauritsen had her fabulous witch hats, and this beauty came home with me.

Today was weird and unproductive. Lance and I are going to call it a day, watch a nice movie, and start over tomorrow.

I couldn't hold the penguin up today (smashed a finger) so he became a banner for our village's rally. Over 600 - don't know the final count - in little Chester, VT. #nokings

This client’s quilt is done! I’m leaving it on the frame until tomorrow so I can check in the morning light if I missed anything. Hopefully I can figure out a way to photograph the whole thing. #quilting #longarmquilter
A quilt on a longarm frame. The quilt has a navy blue border, wavy white sections with golden triangles, a center compass rose, and smaller ones with a white background.
