Quite a few irons in the fire
I’ve been busy busy trying to get some of the projects I’m working on finished.
Been out of touch, too much going on, my head is spinning. I’ve been working on 4 quilts, one of which is for a friend. That quilt is first in line. I’m having fun working on it. The other 3 can wait, they’re for my Etsy shop.They’ll get there.

That’s a Wrap, Hollyhocks and Ladybugs
This is a floral art quilt, but I wanted to add a contemporary spin, a little non traditional. So I chose to give the flowers and stalks a disproportional profile.
