Periodically I sneak up to a coveted little hideaway just outside of Yosemite. It is where I get a TON of quilting accomplished. I was so excited because I was all set to have THREE delicious uninterrupted days at the quiting frame "LIFE IS GOOD"! You can imagine when I arrived and realized that the frame wasn't here anymore, the plan was quickly dashed.
Not one to sit around letting grass grow under my feet, it was time to deal with some things that have been bugging me forever - Starting with the bedroom furniture which is less than thrift shop quality. I purchased a small can of black paint and new pulls for the bedside tables and dresser - voila - a wonderful new fresh look for the room! As an aside, the head board is a "shabby sheek" (tattered) Jinny Lind crib. Now I am planning my next trip up here - the guest bedroom is calling my name! I love it when lemons yield delicious lemonade.

This week's puzzle, Hydrangea, is quite a large quilt at 100" x 97". It was created by Velda Newman in 1989 using hand applique and hand quilting. Velda used hand-dyed and commerical fabrics as well as discharge-painted leaves. She added another unique touch by including a contrasting red edging and black and white binding. Velda makes very few quilts, but all are masterpieces of art and design.
Look for Velda in the upcoming 900 series where she'll be teaching painting on fabric.
Hydrangea1 - 90 pieces non-rotating
Hydrangea2 - 90 pieces rotating
Hydrangea3 - 35 pieces non-rotating
