Today I started out my day with a lovely presentation at our guild by Susan Teece. I'm taking a workshop with her this weekend called Playing in the trees.
Many of her quilts depict life on the West Coast she lives on Vancouver Island and enjoys photography.
This quilt was based on a photo of a chicken coop at the family farm in Saskatchewan for a class with Gail Hunt a former FVQG member.
She likes painting her backgrounds and sometimes quilts them before adding her trees.
A different perspective for viewing trees.
It will be great to use to trace the next set of birds. This guy needs an eye.
This one is ready for his embellishing stitches.

Wow--I love your new light box! My birthday is coming up and that just might be on my wish list.
Happy Birthday! That is a wonderful gift and always nice when someone who knows us, knows what we love.
Mine is fat and smaller, someday I will get a slimline, but mine works for now.

Happy birthday Sandi. Light boxes makes life easier. A bit of show and tell is always nice to see. Regards, Nessie
That's an amazing collection of quilts! Like the birds too.
Lucky you to have a chance to see this great work and even better to take a workshop with her . Have fun !
Happy Birthday!! Enjoy your birthday week!! Love your new light box!
I can hardly wait to see what you make in that class. Those pictures were gorgeous! I'd love to see the quilts in person. Thanks for sharing the pictures you took. Your present is fabulous. That's going to be so handy. Good mom. =) Love the birds. I'll have the next ones on the way to you Friday. Our postage went up, so I'll be interested to see how much more it costs me than the $10+ it was last year. Happy birthday.
