Red Birds, Swans, and Camels

I'm going in too many directions,
but I can't seem to stop.

Playing with clay and paint.
Washing my hands.
Playing with fabric.
And so on and on.

What needs to be done is...
cleaning and organizing.

Even as I try, however,
within the day,
the fabric is everywhere,
more paint needs to be put away.

Where is my focus?

Bryce Eleanor colored her birds red.

I said, "Oh, Cardinals!"
She said,

"No, Red Birds."

I'd already transferred some of them to blocks

and used machine-stitched raw edge applique.
I showed these pics recently.

 And a few more.

Amelia said she might want to frame them,

so I have hand quilted a couple.

After realizing the quilting on the swan was too close,

I began adapting.

I love hand quilting.

The process is slow,

relaxing,

and satisfying.
