First, I want to apologize for the maudlin and inappropriate post yesterday. I would like to say that it was my evil twin, but it was me.

Today, I attended a meeting of the Surface Design group here in Sonoma County. They meet every two months. I have only been one other time because they meet on Sunday and I often can’t make it. The last time I took something for show and tell and never got it out of my bag because I was so intimidated – that was probably a year ago. This time I took my Deadly sin piece, The Essence of Inhumanity and  also my  Zen Forest. I also shared some of the fabric from the pole dyeing day. I got such positive feedback, it was wonderful. This group of artists works in all sorts of media from weaving, dyeing, altered books, rug hooking, knitting, etc. The hostess and her husband do incredible art using found objects and recycled materials. Their home was a feast for the eyes. I took this photo on the step on the deck. These are stones and pieces of wood shaped like feet that are painted.

It was a fun afternoon and I made some great new artsy friends.

Inspired by others on the Artful Quilter’s webring, I am going to try to do a quilt a day. I saw this ad in a magazine today and was inspired by the trees and the graphic design that looked like quilting lines.

So, I quickly whipped up this little quiltlet – Three Trees, inspired by the ad. I worked very quickly with the fused top so that I could have time to play with the quilting line. It is now past my bedtime. Ta Ta.
