I finished the binding on the Traditional Batik Quilt and the Pumpkin Quilt yesterday. I was able to get this picture of the batik quilt, and had to wait for the wind to quit kicking up before I could get one of the pumpkin quilt. The batik quilt measures 65" square and the pumpkin quilt is 71"x73".
Since I finished these quilts I have taken time to hand paint on some fabric that I screen printed at my "Dye Party" a few weeks ago. Both of these will be 9"x12" and will go to the SAQA-Texas exhibit at the Houston show.
I'm calling this one "Hugs and Kisses". I hi-jacked this screen from one of the other ladies at the party. I'm going to hand quilt X's and O's on it.
"Feelin' Groovy", my Red, White and Blue Themed quilt. Hand painting this one was fun, going in waves and circles, controlling the paint...very relaxing.
I'm listening to books written by Susan Wiggs right now. Just finished "Lakeside Cottage" and today I started listening to "Table for Five". Listening to books is so relaxing and I'm able to escape to another world while I'm enjoying my art in my studio. Life is good!

The Pumpkin Quilt is beautiful!
I love your pumpkin quilt! Is there a pattern that I can order from this quilt? I would love to make one myself...
best regards,

Thank you Jessican and Saskia!
This quilt was a Block of the Month from a local quilt store. I used batik fabrics instead of the traditional fabrics they were providing. The title of the pattern is "The Great Pumpkin Quilt" by Jeanne Davis of Briar Rose Designs. I'm sure you can probably still find it from one of the stores on the internet.
Thanks again!
Jules
