...well not my name, but my initials. I decided to put my initials into this quilt, and it got a little Las Vegas-y on me with the pearls and all, but I decided not to take it out (for the moment). It's hard to tell but this is chain stitch embellished with small pearls. I also did my homage to Georgia O'Keefe by giving this steer head a crown of flowers. I must've used the flash on this picture, because the lighting is over-exposed.
I've also been making the blocks for this crazy quilt by cleaning out my scrap drawer. It's pretty much empty now, and I love this kind of mindless sewing. I have a lovely red border for it, red being my favorite neutral. When I get inspired I'll sew it all together and put on the border. I won't be embellishing this quilt as it really is just a utility piece.
I'm off to San Francisco on Saturday for a reunion of my college girlfriends. I haven't seen several of them for many years, and I'm very excited. I also hope to visit some museums and to eat at some good restaurants. I'll report back next week.

Have a great time!
The CQ looks great.
Great CQ- and i like the chain stitch pearl combo.
Terrific homage to G O'K there! Very good that you signed your initials, too.
I ADORE your CQ scrap quilt. Are there women's faces pieced in there? Very neat.
I want to make one of those!
Love your crazy quilt! Looks fresh and colorful!
Your initials look just right and if you lived in TX, you could say you were a Longhorn fan! Very cool.
Forget to mention--since you are on my favorites webshots list some of your 1970s pictures showed up lately. Very interesting--suppose you will be visiting with friends from that era? Enjoy!
I love the initials! And that's going to be a great CQ. Have a wonderful time this weekend.
I love this lively CQ! It says fiesta! to me.
Your scrap CQ looks just fantastic. Can't wait to see it finished.
