love quilt

this is a photo of a photo of a wedding quilt i made a few years ago for my good friend and acupuncturist. it was machine pieced and hand quilted. the light color rectangles around the edges are where the wedding guests wrote notes to the bride and groom.

i don't have many quilts to show on the blog, even tho i have been a quilter since the '70's. many of my things are in storage, including a hard drive with lots of quilt images. also, now that i am in school and living in a two-room apt, there is not much space for all of my fabric, batting, etc. and it has been good for me to shift my focus to embroidery and painting and drawing for a while. once-in-a while you will see something quilted here, i promise. can't get too far away from my roots.

LOVE today.

happy sock monkey reunion

look! here she is. irritable has been found. she took the long, long trip across the ocean and to the desert to see her love. big hiney can hardly wait for her to jump out of the box and give him a hug!

they are jumping for joy!



after celebrating, they are settling in to watch their favorite tv show, the wire.

sock monkey and buddha

looks like 'shut up' made it to baltimore safe and sound, via the traveling sock monkey house and seems that he found buddha when he got there.

rumor has it that irritable has been found in baghdad...more to come!

can i lend you a hand?

what makes me want to stitch stuff like this?

mamajules has a good posting about lost gloves. something intriguing about them...

sock monkeys: big hiney pining for irritable

here is big hiney in his trailer in the desert, far far away, wondering where his love, irritable, is. he is pining at her picture on the computer, but it makes him feel too sad to know that she is missing.

watching a music video of kate bush and eating a candy bar seems to be the only thing that soothes him. (rock on!)


"wait! i think i heard something at the window," he says. could it be..?
