I have just one more week here in Colorado before I head back to Mongolia. As you can see, I'm having a great time with my daughter Nikki and her husband Casey and my 2 little granddaughters, Natalie (3) and Layla (1)--I don't think the pictures need much explanation :D I suppose I should add that Natalie does wear clothes; it's just that she prefers to focus on the lower half when it comes to dress up.
I'm so tickled to be a part of this year's Bloggers' Quilt Festival ! My entry was done in Outer Mongolia (literally! --read on). This quilt is one of my favorite recent projects that I named "Renegade Geisha's" --renegade because two of the geisha's don't conform to the rest (mainly because I ran out of coordinating fabrics!). Can you find the two renegades? ;) The quilt incorporates fabric origami and the quilt itself is from Fantastic Fabric Folding --many projects from this book were a big hit with the Mongolian class pictured below. Due to my husband's work, we live in Mongolia; and I was privileged to teach classes at a local quilting studio. I've included a picture of the class where we were working on the geisha blocks. The students spoke almost no English and I speak what I call Monglish--a lot of English sprinkled with Mongolian. Regardless, we all had a blast! ...and, I'm very pleased with this quilt of mine!
