Big Blustery Day

You may be surprised to see another blog so quickly! 

This week we had our Janet Bolton Class and I want to share some of the pictures with you.

Janet Bolton is a wonderful Fabric Artist who lives in London. Here are a few pictures of her work.

You can see many more of her designs if you look up Janet Bolton Images.

I was privileged to meet her last year when Karen and I went on our trip.

Since then I have wanted to share her designs with my stitchery friends. She has wonderful books and exhibits in many fine galleries.

Here are some of the pictures that we started work on. 

Well, first of all you need to see the table that has just some of the fabric and embellishments that we gathered to work with.


Work in Progress







And there are more!!!






And lastly the ones I'm working on.


Here are a few of her books.



I think they are all wonderful. It was nice to try a different kind of process. We have been doing a lot of Fall Applique and Cross Stitch and quilts, of course, but this was a great departure.

If you didn't get to come to this class and would like me to schedule another time, Please let me know,

The blog from the other day has the class schedule for the rest of October and for November.

Stay dry and safe through the coming storm. I saw the pictures from Manzanita and that happened on the day that was supposed to be calm!

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

I guess if I'm going to get anything else written before 2013, I'd better get at it. Earlier this month Loren and I went to downtown Portland and watched the Tuba Christmas. It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
