My batteries died...
I don't post every-single-day, normally I follow my emotional moods and creative input. If the day isn't up to par, no post. Yesterday I'd wanted to post but alas, my camera batteries pooped out. Murphy's Law.
10 yards of indigo dyed eyelet. Hmmm.... wonder what I am planning? Wouldn't you like to know.
Jane W. has asked about progress on the Western Bluebird piece. I have not finished it, though I am still working on it. To paint this piece I freezer paper resisted the bird shape and painted the background. Then I painted the bird in dye, acrylic paint and dye sticks.
The quilting is coming along nicely. I will give an overall image when I am further toward being finished.
My pal in all things birdy has put a song on her blog and given the overall appearance of the place an updo. She has a new WIP, too. Check it out.
Claire at Little Fish Creations has been doing some GREAT work in her journal. I love to see what other people do in thier journals, so maybe you will too.
Deborah brought up this book, which I think I need to read because this is the second time in 3 days that it has come up.
So there you have it. Even if my batteries died, my life kept going.
That's exactly what happened to me! I saw that book everywhere so I had to give in. Not a mistake.

I read your article in Quilting Arts-you ROCK as a teacher! I only wish that I lived closer so that I could take part in the fun!
Your previously posted gingko leaves-you said that they are screen printed-how did you get the leaf image to the screen?
Thanks for the update on your bluebird-the bird is SO PRESENT in this piece! You are GOOD!
