Silly Me!


I got a new phone-an iPhone 5. I've been trying to upload all my apps and, for some reason, the Blogspot app didn't show up. "No problem", I thought. "I'll just post from my computer".  I've been busy going to a workshop with Paula Nadelstern and then off to Boston to care for my youngest after major knee surgery. I've taken pictures on my phone but couldn't figure out how to email the pictures to myself. Long story short, I finally found the app and now I can try to catch up!

I had the pleasure to attend The Hudson River Valley Art Workshop with Paula Nadelstern. This was the second time I have attended to take a class with her. She is a great teacher and a wonderful person. The first day we warmed up by making a relatively simple Nadelstar.

Paula shared some of her quilts with us...

The process is not always pretty!

After 5 long days I finished mine!

I am very pleased with the results!  It's almost 30" across. I think I'll probably add setting triangles, frame it and use it as a wall hanging.

I really enjoyed the process and would love to play for a few more weeks making more blocks but life goes on. More on that later. 

Until then, 
Happy Stitching!
