I glanced through all of the sketch books
and found a few pages of
McTavish style quilting...
McTavishing...named after Karen McTavish
is a background fill design:
S Curves and Hair Band Shapes
This version is curly and playful
Playful and whimsical
Straighter S curves....more serious
Every time I draw this design.....it looks different.
I like that....it never gets boring.

Hi LuAnn,
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are lovely - they just flow. Maybe some drawings on how to create - or even a video showing drawing or better yet, quilting it!
Thanks
Beautiful McTavishing sketches. Great job. Wish I could doodle so well. Inspirational. I'm definitely going to try to do more. Thanks!

LuAnn... I wonder how many folks in American are shaking their heads at the concept of this much firewood. We do the same thing: lay in a supply to cut/split and season over a year. The next late spring/early summer, that load goes into the wood storage room in the basement (next to the woodstove that heats the whole house...tho we also have "real" heat from an oil furnace that we never use). So now we are building a garage, and yep...it has a roof overhang to shelter the "new wood" as it seasons for a year!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep reading, but where are you? Colorado? NM? Maybe even some hill country in Texas? Cheers, Sarah
Hello Sarah,
ReplyDeleteWe live in the coastal mountain range of Western Oregon. We heat our entire house with wood heat. We raise timber and cattle. The cull logs and blow down trees don't go to waste, we heat our home with them.
My Best To You,
LuAnn
