Category Archives: Mostly White Quilts

a simple pause…

Now with that little quilt behind me and a certain fullness that comes with accomplishment, I have the time to pause for just a little and think about what’s coming next.  I still have this beauty on the quilting machine just waiting for me to finish it, but my mind is telling me it wants...

Ooh, fun! My favorite sketch is the lower right one that’s mostly houses. :-)

My Mostly White Quilts

I’ll be leaving tomorrow to join a group of fellow fiber artists who blog in New York!  I’m thrilled!  It will be a whirlwind trip I’m sure and I plan to get very little sleep… something’s gotta go… but hey, a girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do!  Just think, no kids, very little housework...

It’s been one of those days and I thought I would check in here. I would like to thank-you for the visual, and physical, sigh looking at these pieces just gave me.

Enjoy your break and rejuvenation.

Your mostly white quilts are a fabulous canvas for your incredible hand dyes. It sure has been hot enough in NYC to use your method! I love your work.

These are beautiful. Love the starry sky and the ships with lighthouse in particular. Such liberated design. Refreshing.

Have a wonderful trip! Your ‘mostly white’ quilts are how I found you on flickr. I adore every one of them.

Sounds like a dream trip! Have fun Robin! I love the cheerful colors and images in these quilts.

My favorite parts: the wonky buildings in the first one, the “zipper” between Night and Day, the sun in A New Earth, and the seaweed in School of Fishies! Not to say I don;t like everything else — I do! Those are just my absolute favorite bits. :-)

The Reveal: “School of Fishies”

Finished!  And just in the nick of time!  Today is my daughter’s last day of school and next year she will be moving to another one.  Looking back I realize we’ve been at that school for thirteen years, and of course my sentimental heart tells me it seemed like only yesterday that our journey began....

It turned out great. Her teacher will treasure it.

Cozy Summer?

Here in this tropical state, we have had a few “winter weather advisories” these past few days… snow on the summits, rain and thunder… what’s that all about?  It’s June outside but the clouds think its March.  Looking at the news and I can see that all over the U.S. people are experiencing unusual weather...

I know I have been reading your blog for a long time, but it really hits home when I see a photo of your daughter! Wow, she has grown! Yes, the weather is wacky this year. By now the a/c has been turned on at least once, the shorts and tees are out. Yet, here I sit in wool socks and long sleeved shirt. Soon enough it will be warm and perhaps I will appreciate it even more. Have a wonderful weekend.

The Start of Summer

With the summer approaching and the days getting longer, we are slowly adjusting to a new routine.  For my daughter it means trying out a new pattern she’s been wanting to try.  A pair of shorts and a ruffled top from McCalls.  For me it’s cooking adventures… indian dishes like this one and this one....
