I've been blessed to spend Christmas 2008 in Spokane, WA--USA!! (Thanks to the generousity of Randy :) After flying halfway around the world, I met up with my sister, Carol, in the Seattle airport where we both came to a complete halt due to weather and canceled flights. Long story short, we made it (with a lot of Divine Intervention--thank you to all who were praying :) The pictures capture the Joy & Chaos of our visit so far--we had a full hearth of stockings!
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!
