Getting Along

These two are starting to get along.  The day Bo realized she was girl puppy and not just this little biting black fuzzball was pretty funny!  The cats are doing better with little Gwyn too, one is very much playing with her and the other is hiding less.  The problem with Gwyn learning from the cats is that she thinks she can move like they do.  Therefore, I will often bust Gwyn following a cat onto a chair and then onto my sewing table, computer desk, etc.
I've been invited to do an Artist Open Studio tour in Sept.  That means that the studio floor remodel will definitely be happening.  I have a long arm demonstration to do at the local library and that is the perfect time to move everything out and just do.  More likely, I'll move everything out and have my husband refinish the floor while I work on a 4 tier wedding cake. 
I have been doing the quilting on many quilts lately for Kerry of Commaworkshop in Boulder.  Her quilts are doing wonderfully right now and I believe there will be an article about her in the New York Times July 26th.

Top Secret Sister Quilts Revealed

Here is a photo of one the quilts I made last month.  I was given the challenge to create two identical king-size quilts using my Aunt's glorious collection of Hawaiian fabrics.  They were created quite quickly too as one was to be a gift for my mother at the family reunion we just had.  These quilts commemorate the past and future trips to Hawaii that they have shared as sisters.  I am very happy with how they turned out and that I was able to keep the secret until now. 
It is very hard to keep secrets from my mom.  I just told her I was working on top secret stuff and quit calling her.  I think that is why it was extra fun to do a quilt with her on my Aunt's long arm while we were visiting.  I had missed her a lot. 
I am back home again and happy to be with my husband and animals.  I'm also really happy it finally rained here in Colorado.  I was gone for 12 days and my puppy doubled in size.  So many things to catch up on, but I've been dying to share these quilts.
