Progress on the painting from the previous post.
Did I ever tell you I love patchwork? Crazy quilts, the quilts of Gee's Bend., Denise Schmidt quilts. I don't quilt. I hope to learn one day. For now I play with paper quilts.
Happy Memorial Day to all who celebrate. We are going strawberry picking and to a picnic. I am heading to a flea market. We are eating lots of watermelon, making fresh lemonade and wearing flip flops. I love this unofficial start to summer!

what a great start to Summer that sounds like! It's a bit intermittent here.
I too love quilts and recently went to the quilt exhibition at the V&A in London. I particularly liked the quilts of Natasha Kerr.
Happy making. (and summer :)

paper quilts- what a lovely idea! I heard an interview done with Denise Schmidt- EXCELLENT. If you are interested you can find it in the archives on www.craftsanity.com

Yummmm watermelon...so delightful. and flea market so fun! Hope you are well and having a fab weekend xxx
flip flop weather has a special place in my heart. I love quilts, too, and vow to someday learn how to make them. I had to opportunity to go see the quilts of gees bend a few years back. They are even more gorgeous in person, as you can see all the stitching and irregularities that make them so special.
nothing like eating watermelon outside in your flips or barefoot!!!
sure signs of summer!!
love your sweet painting and seeing your comments as we "fly" together....so much yummy stuff to digest in her course!!
