Debi Hubbs Illustration

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.

Come up with 24 garden flag illustrations.

Cheryl Crandall wrote me recently her story…

Ole’ I’m in Spain!

He is in the limelight today because it’s been a year and it still feels like he is here. He had the best sense of humor. A quality everyone appreciates. This was a happy day he and I had so I love this picture.

Finished this: Prevailing Poised Poppy Performers…
And here is the lovely Piggy Longstockings. She is in all kinds of things.

And here is The Christmas Goose. One of the stars from my newest Christmas Line.

Pebbles has grown so much. Last trip to the vet she weighed 36 lbs. This was a shock to me as I still carry her around. Speaking of vets. Ever notice the correlation between the amount you love a dog and the amount of trips to the vet?

Ever notice how all the men in Dubrovnik look like Alec Baldwin or Quentin Tarantino?
