Painted Canvas...Western Theme


Giddy Up !



I spent the morning painting canvas...

gave it a bit of a Western Theme




I collect large foam stamps

when I see them at the thrift stores...




It was time to gather up the cowboy stamps

and giddy up!










Once the canvas was dry,

I sliced off a piece...





Tote Bag and 2 handles...




I had a great deal of FUN stitching

up this child size cowgirl tote bag:


One side of the tote bag...





Lined it with horse fabric...





Other side of tote bag.

I know a little cowgirl that will LOVE this bag!

Sunflower......Art Quilt


I have a new Monday project...



I am starting a new Sunflower quilt...





I meet with the Harlan Valley Quilters

each Monday.

This is my new Monday project...



This is the color story:


Blue for the sky behind the sunflower,

Green sunflower leaves,

Red, Orange, Yellow for the sunflower petals,

Dark browns and black 

for the flower center...





The entire project is curved piecing...

a favorite of mine.





The sunflower is about 4 feet tall...





This is a great deal of fun...

it will take self control to work on

it only on Mondays!




Teasel grows everywhere

here in Western Oregon...


The bumble bees are loving it right now...






We are enjoying our summer.

The cattle are out on summer pasture,

they hay is in the barn,

life is good!




I am using Ann Shaw's pattern
