Debi Hubbs Illustration

Bobbing along in the summer sunshine
Spices, sauces, maybe even some wine
Myrtle has visions you see
for fish fricassee
Ginger thinks canned tuna is fine.

A new original and prints now available.

Now that I am designing fabric I feel a big desire to sew all the time. I have a charming machine sitting here.

Update. I caved and bought this. A 6 foot statue replica from the Easter Island Moai. Some people call him Gum Gum from the movie Night at the Museum.
I just love it. One of those purchases you never regret.

I have been working a lot doing things like this.
Anyway I decided to do nothing for a few days. I would watch TV and finish reading the last four books from The Dark Tower. The plan was to lay in bed, eat snacks and enjoy doing nothing.

Donna Seegmueller sent me these images and I had to share them. How cute and what a great idea. Love it! Here is what she did…

I want to share with you a creation I made using Debi Hubbs design, The Picnic, which I purchased at the Quilt Loft in Albany Oregon during the “sew Oregon” event in October 2011. Using a pattern (Simplicity Quick& Quilted project, 1981) from something I made many years ago, I adapted the design to create a picnic map and two placemats.

Recently I visited (with a family member who I am not allowed to discuss on this website but I will volunteer that this certain family member was mildly disgruntled over attending the garden with me but seeing as it was my birthday grumbled along which actually made the garden a bit more entertaining.) Anyway, I like a good plant and clever landscape but when I saw this I was really impressed. I don’t know who made these, or how, and am too lazy to look it up but here they are. Plant people…

I was just going to show you my latest turkey that is one of the stars in my new ecards. Tudfwich P. Thompson. This is him here…
And this is him on a bad day…..

I just can’t believe how glorious this quilt is! It’s hard to express how amazing it feels to see a painting of mine eventually turn into something as wonderful as a quilt. And to see so many of my patterns all together in one fabulous piece is so exciting.

Easter Island Giant Statue… Need I say more? I just want this really, really badly.

My friend Traci showed me these cute napkins on Etsy. Of course I had to buy them. I love seeing my fabric used in cute ways. I was impressed by the packaging, the cute note and even a magnet too. I will be back

This quilt makes me laugh. If I could quilt I believe I would quilt something like this. She used my painting The Sunday Stroll. With my permission which I appreciated. My painting…And Melisa Wehrle’s adorable quilt.

Bigfork Bay Cotton Company is bringing out a new quilt pattern of mine. Look how cute it is. They do such an awesome job.

What do I do all day?
Beats me. I do know most days start the same. I wake up. Then I mill around the house and eventually go upstairs to my office. I look at my list of things to do. Actually I have 2 lists. The Big List has the big ongoing projects on it.
Big List

Come up with 24 garden flag illustrations.
