Hi Everybody!
I have been having difficulty gaining access to this blog account when I have felt the urge to write lately. I made it through today though! It has been a busy fall here in Colorado. The flood was not a good time for anyone I know. There has been a lot of clean up and things are getting back to normal. That's the great thing about us resourceful mountain folk.
If you look back through my posts, you might find the Empress Ohashi quilt that I did for a client last winter. She was being stored in a closet waiting to see if she was going to MQX West when disaster struck. I found out the closet was leaking with all the rain and the original red interlocking design in these center corners was bleeding into the beige!!!!! After many deep breaths, I realized that I made the quilt, I could fix the quilt. I ripped out the offending, bleeding red fabrics and came up with this new design to cover all the damaged areas. It was a good deal of work getting her ready and off to the show. It is so much fun to have a quilt in a show that your parents went to see!

Now that the Thanksgiving feasting is done (I will never be finished being thankful), I can focus on getting through the next holiday. I have the Quilts for Paws program, several quilts and my wonderful truffles up for sale at www.mountainjoyquiltndye.etsy.com. Time to think of gifts of folks that I love. I will share all the photos of the Christmas gift quilts, both clients and personal, after the holidays. I hate ruining surprises.
Until next time, keep quilting and creating!
