A few new doodles

The other night I was having a garden type mood...  maybe because it's fall and rainy here.

I just heard from my customer, Karen Carter, that her Butterfly Kisses Quilt won a blue ribbon at Westsound Quilters show!!!!

After reading Dream it then Create it blog by Jane I decided to try my hand at creating a Mandala....
This just may become a quilt ;-)

Today's doodle

Today in the yard

I went out to see if I could get a few more blueberries....

I love the fall color of the leaves...

And this butterfly kept landing on me while I was trying to get a pic...

Back to reality

For the last 2 weeks I've been busy working in the A-1 Quilting Machines booth at several quilt shows.  The first one was Innovations in Tacoma, WA.  Not only was I working in the booth I organized and hung all the quilts for the show, and taught 4 classes....  can you say busy?

Last week I was at the Northwest quilting Expo in Portland, OR, again working in the A-1 booth.

 

A few of my favorite things about working at these quilt shows is getting to hang out with all the wonderful quilters!!!!  Staying up too late chatting and laughing with great friends...  seeing lots of old friends and meeting new ones!  

Also getting time to play with some designs....  Quilting for others and working part time doesn't give much time to just play with my quilting.  So while doing demos and between customers in the booth... I play.

 

How small can I go.....

And I love this view of Mt Hood while crossing the Columbia River from Portland to Vancouver.....  When I was a teenager I wanted to live in one of those houseboats on the river.

 

Now back to reality and laundry....
