Gallery Show

Last Sunday was our grand opening reception at the Mahopac Library. We had a fabulous turnout.
I thought the presentation of the quilts was absolutely smashing. And I'm just so proud to be part of this very talented group of Women. Below are just some of the pictures I was able to take . I plan to go back and take another look without the crowds. If you are in the area do stop in. It is so much more impressive in person.

Happy New Year

First I want to wish everyone a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Lets all hope it is better then last year.....Peace.....

It's 2 in the afternoon, on the Eve of the New Year. Not sure if my guests are still coming for dinner, because we in NY, have just got a couple of inches of snow. Boo. I was really looking forward to it. I'm not calling anyone because hope springs eternal. I figure if I don't hear anything they are still coming...You know the saying "No News is Good News"...

Anyway, I decided to celebrate the New Year by finishing up my little oriental wall hanging that I started last month. At first, I tried doing a piping around the edge. I did not do a very good job. I should have photograph it, but I was anxious to fix it. I put a regular 1/4" binding. Looks much better.
Here is the photo. I haven't decided what to call it. And I have to write an artist statement. Two of the hardest things for me.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Christmas Tree Shopping Dec. 6th

Every year we go shopping for the perfect tree. This year, when we got to the tree farm, we saw that they had a whole section of trees that were trim up from the bottom. Which at first seem odd. But my husband and I decided to walk around to see what was available. You know, you really get a very good view of all the trees this way. It's a pretty good size. Believe it or not, it's 7' tall
The best part is that he doesn't have to lay on the cold ground to cut it down.
