Forsythia - March 15, 2011

     I just took a walk in my back yard and saw that the forsythia is starting to bloom.  I have five forsythia bushes and hope to cut off a few branches to bring inside the house to enjoy for spring.

Sea Goddess - March 14, 2011

Sea Goddess - March 14, 2011

     I designed and made this little 8 1/2" x 11"  ( self portrait)  art quilt  in March of 2003.  I am very sorry to say that it was stolen from a gallery  by Annapolis, Md.,  where it was being shown.   Our northern Virginia art quilt group was having a  "showing" of art quilts there.  If anyone ever sees this quilt somewhere, please let me know.  She is one of my favorites and I hated losing her this way.
