Just finished the 2012 Block of the Month from the Kansas City Star:
Sacagawea, This Quilt is for You

It had 12 blocks but I chose to only include 9 of them. I think I will keep this one, 
I'll decide when it is quilted.



The following three are for charity;:




This one, I may keep for myself.  It took a long time to locate all the blue tone fabric.

I am a little behind in posting since moving again.  These are the charity quilts I have completed since moving here. I had been working on these two for a long time - those are two inch half square triangles. This was made from a kit for my new local guild. The three following were reworks of partial quilts picked up at a garage sale.  I finished and donated these. And below is my latest for my new group that quilts for veterans.

Section III

I have learned that I must write everything down, at least initially until I use it many, many times.  I need to start a chart of all the shortcuts. In the Architectural Fantasy Project I needed to be reminded, again,  to keep the lighting intensity the same on all the picture components. I really liked doing the architectural combination, once I got started.  However, it was hard for me to think of something creative.

The next one is more of a fantasy, playing on the idea of going inside something that allows one to go dee...

What I learned from the virtual space exercises

This class is one of the most challenging I have had here at Richland.  But I always enjoy a challenge and I am enjoying this class. It makes me realize how hard it is to learn completely new things – things not related to other things you already are comfortable with – but entirely new things.  It takes using those commands about 10 times before I can remember them. While working on the Rico Cluster I learned about additional fonts available on the internet.  How helpful; and they are so much fun. I also learned that my life is not so much a “cluster” but, more a set of diverse tangents. As we got into virtual space I immediately realized that you can no longer “believe everything you see”.  It is now possible to create a picture of almost anything.  What fun it is to combine various pictures, and design and brand new reality. I learned to save often and not necessarily on top of the last save.  Sometimes you may want to go back and pick up in the midd...
