A sketch I did last night that will - hopefully - become the quilting lines for a piece I have percolating in my brain.

Here's a second update on my new year's commitments:

1.) Finishing of 4 pcs for group show - no progress
2.) Writing for article - no progress

Batting a thousand so far

3.) Dye scarves and make ATC's - made another ATC but no dyeing has been done yet
4.) Sketch every day - YES!
5.) Lose 10# - I think I'm going in the wrong direction
6.) Surface Design show piece - thought never entered my mind
7.) Medical tests - wellllll....I called to have a perscription filled and promptly forgot to pick it up so this is a big NO progress one
8.) Practice patience & tolerance - failed miserably yesterday while at my day job but today is a new dawn!

The Next One

As a rule I don't sketch out ideas for new art quilts. I usually just go for it and run into all kinds of design complications as I go along mixed up with some choice words. But last night I was messing around with pencil and paper and came up with this idea. I think it will be the basis for a new quilt. I see her in all kinds of vibrant colors - funky folky arty....I think she will wear the style well.....I can't wait to start work on her.
