ARCHERY

Last week I played around with more arrows.  I'm going to be teaching a class on them so I needed a smallish sample. This one is made using the new Cotton and Steel fabrics

Just up the road from me is Mandy and her big red barn. It was perfect for a backdrop.




Isn't this wagon great?



thanks Mandy for letting me come and photograph my quilt top


The quilting has begun, but it's taking a while


I'll post a picture when it's all finished   : )
As usual, thanks so much for stopping by
