I quilt. I love to quilt. I quilt almost every day. Sometimes I cannot get to my sewing machine as now because I have a lovely 16 year old granddaughter staying in my sewing room at the moment. We have been to a quilt talk, have taken some hikes, and will visit a college and wander through a quilt show.
The summer is winding down and I am thinking of winter when I sew daily, but also have time for photography and digital painting. Here is a painting that I did of a sleek, black cat in whose home I lived for several years until his favorite person, my daughter, married and took him with her. He was a character as are most cats.
I painted this on the computer from one of my photos. By learning this technique I have eliminated the need for space and ventilation required for oil painting. No fuss, no mess and just as much fun.
I will return next week with a tutorial about designing spiral quilts.

That is a nice painting! Sounds like you have a good relationship with your granddaughter. And maybe you will be back in the sewing room soon if she is heading off to college?

Thank you Debbie. Unfortunately, Hershey is long gone. He was a wild and happy cat, but didn't cuddle anyone except my daughter.
