here are a few quilts that I have been working on this year.  I know I have not been here in a while.  health issues and helping others.  last week I did a trunk show at the Hayfield Country quilters, quilting group.  that was a very nice quilting group.  I took pictures but for some reason I am having problems downloading to this post.  thank you Wendy and the Hayfield Country quilters for inviting me, I had fun.

IT MATTERS

there is so much killing that I started working on a paper piece Quilt that say's BLACK LIVES MATTER, ALL LIVES MATTER.  While making the paper piece quilt I wanted  to put guns on that quilt but some of my quilting friends  had seen the quilt and there was a strong conversation about whether to put the guns on the quilt or to leave the guns off the quilt.  I have not decide what I wanted to do with the paper piece quilt so I made this quilt, it is not paper piecing.  It is like very day the news is talking about someone being kilt.  Whether it is here, some other city or around the world.  Killing is killing know matter what, who or where.  Whether you, black, white, red or yellow, killing is WRONG.

Around this quilt it say, It matters, it matters, all around the quilt, at the bottom it say, It matters stop the killing

STOP THE KILLING

No I am not going to close with stitches today 

Peace and love

The portrait class

the try out for the class went ok.  I ask my two friends for feedback so I can make some changes to better this class.  Both agree that I should make the picture that they work on bigger.  The part when I showed them how to work the Photoshop element program, they said That I explain that very well so that they could understand.  And they were greatful for the little short cut tips.  They both brought the wrong kind of fabric for this project.  So I have to explain better on how to pick out the fabric. They thought that I should make little fabric kit to sale.  I don't know about that.  That will be more money for me to put out.  The class was fun.  I am going to make a few changes and try again to see how the class will go before I decide to charge a fee.  So to my close quilting friend that live close by me don"t be surprise if I call and ask if you can come over and try my class out. I might charge a small fee for the use of my ink for the printer.  The class took all day.  So a person can finish the class in one day.  I am trying to get a feel of how many to a class so that I can my attention to  each student. So now some pictures of the class work.  I feel they did a great job.  It was only two people.  Marlene and Phyllis.  Marlene stayed later and quilted her.  It will be a gift for her daughter.  The color fabric wasn't quit right for her portrait.  Another thing when you do this, your embroidery scissors must be very sharp.
I also want to thank Phyllis's and Marlene for their time.       Stitches yetunde
