This little wall quilt was part of a challenge from our quilt group, theme "Stars". I used my hand dyed fabrics to create the sun, a star we are all so familiar with on earth. Hand dyed fabrics, hand painted and machine quilted.</div>

It's been a year since I've posted on here and a lot has happened. I retired from teaching a year ago and I'm enjoying myself so much. I love having the time to do whatever I want. So lucky to be in this position. My son graduated with his MBA in Sustainable Management. This picture was taken of him and his girlfriend in San Francisco in early June this year at the graduation. It was great fun to see him complete this accomplishment and all while working full time. We are so proud.</div>

And I've been working in the backyard a lot, especially working on these two stone paths. Both were made a long time ago, but needed repair. So much time was spent repairing, expanding, and otherwise fixing these paths .They're not perfect but I love how they turned out. Now I'm ready to do a mosaic on one of our patio walls. I'll keep you posted on that. We also planted a succulent garden and I am busy propagating succulents all over the place. It's so easy and fun. </div>

This was a special goodbye quilt to that beautiful person on the left at the top of the page. I've taught with Brenda for almost 25 years at our elementary school. Everyone on staff signed their names on the "rays". All the fabric is my hand dyed fabric with the exception of the batik "love" fabric. The center is quilted with crazy machine stitches, going round and round in a circle. The center is pieced and all the rays are fused on. Eric Carle I'm looking at you! Everyone thought it looked like an Eric Carle collage. Needless to say she loved it!</div>

This detail shot shows the use of hemostats to pinch and hold the center. I bought several sizes at Harbor Freight fairly cheaply, they carry four sizes.</div>

I'm sort of in love with making these. I counted them up this weekend when I was taking pictures of them, and I have about 100. OMG. Yes that's correct, I have over 100 of these babies. Not all are keepers for sure, the ones I did at the beginning were real experiments. But now I'm considering how some of the "rejects" might be cut up for quilting or other art projects. SO FUN.</div>

And its relatively easy and fun to do. There are many tutorials online to show the different folds and the patterns they create. Here are some of mine:</span></span></div>

This is what I taught myself this summer, how to dye mandalas. I spent the entire summer on this project. Once I started I couldn't stop and now I have stacks of these, maybe 80? Some are about a yard square, some a little bigger, and a few are about 60 inches square. I learned a lot about folding and mixing colors and using various techniques to create effects. Its my new obsession. I had a permanent dye station set up in the back yard which made it quite convenient when the creative bug hit me, I could just go outside and begin experimenting to my heart's content.</div>

I also dyed a series of shibori pieces, traditionally dyed with indigo. I used Dharma procion dyes, color Indigo (I cheated). That will be a new project and I'll post tomorrow.</div>

This is a ombre shawl kit from<a href="http://www.purlsoho.com/create/2016/02/12/new-color-our-cashmere-ombre-wrap-in-vermilion/" target="_blank"> Purl Soho</a>. It is truly exquisite. It is a wool/cashmere blend yarn and the kit costs $400! Ouch! I am sure it is totally worth it, but it would be hard for me to justify spending that much money for a shawl.</div>

So I bought some plain white dk weight superwash wool from <a href="http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Bare_Swish_DK_Yarn__D5420164.html" target="_blank">Knitpicks</a> and dyed my own with food coloring. I experimented for awhile until I had the approximately correct ombre. It looks a little pinker in the picture from the original kit but in actuality it is much closer to the Purl Soho color. I am so happy with it. Cost? about $70! That's for yarn and food coloring for dye.</div>

It's so pretty, so much wooly yummyness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm knitting another shawl now, part of the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dragonfly-mcal-2016" target="_blank">Dragonfly MKAL</a> on Ravelry to celebrate the second season of <a href="https://www.starz.com/series/outlander/episodes" target="_blank">Outlander</a> of which I am a super fan.

The backyard is looking nice right now. Beautiful weather too. It's spring break from school right now and it's a shame I have a cold right now, but there are still 5 days left to enjoy.</div>

I can't believe its been so long since I've posted. I've had a nice relaxing summer and I haven't done much creating. I did attempt to make a small art quilt based on my painting Two Suns. I have to admit I have been in a bit of a creative slump this summer. Its conflicting I'll say that when you want to create something and you have everything you need to make a millions things and you go in your studio and have no idea what to do. I know its a phase and will pass in time.</div>

<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/drachenfels" target="_blank">Drachenfels</a> is a sweet pattern and a nice size found on Ravelry. I followed the pattern but sort free wheeled with some of the striping. It looks like fall! I used a lot of leftover fingering yarn from other projects to complete. Then I got all excited and did some retail therapy (see below).</div>

I've been on a real knitting jag for several weeks, I just don't seem to have taken any pictures of the knitting. Also I can't seem to put the water colors away to make space for the sewing machine. Its a problem. Like I need another studio problem. WHICH. WILL. BE. NEVER.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to paint, I kind of don't even care what it is, but once I start I can't stop. Somehow I need to explore putting some water color imagery onto fabric. I'll work on that.</div>

This is by far the largest stamp I've ever created. Its about 5" x 7"!!! I made it so I could stamp some appliques for some dish towels for my sister who owns a vintage trailer and camps all the time with it, and I forgot to take pictures of the finished project!! Oh well. I fused them onto some dish towels and then free motion quilted all the black parts.<br />

I finally found some stamp storage with these photo boxes from Joannes. Each big box holds 16 little containers inside. I bought two and still have space for more stamps. It's hard to find shallow boxes for stamps, but these work okay because they are only a little over an inch deep and I can put stamp sets together in them. I stamped two papers (front and back side of box) to show what stamps are inside, and then labeled the top like "Birds" etc. to indicate what is inside.</div>

<u style="font-weight: bold;">Carve Stamp Play</u> by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer continues to be such an inspiration. Her blog is wonderful too, <a href="http://balzardesigns.typepad.com/" target="_blank">balzardesigns.typepad.com</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has inspired a lot of my carvings, especially the pods, the homes set, and the tiles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the new year I hope to carve more.</div>

Pretty kitty, Otis, just chillin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The multi-colored stamp pad experiment worked pretty well. The colors blend as you use the stamp which is a nice effect. The Bombay India Inks and FW Daler Rowney fluorescent inks came out rather antiquey looking. For bolder color I may have to use pigment reinkers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Experimenting with wreath arrangements too, used all hand carved stamps.</div>

Each of these stamps is 1 1/2" square. So fun! I am experimenting painting them, but what I really want to do is make a custom stamp pad so the stamp itself is multicolored. I'll try that tomorrow.</div>
