what i did on my summer vacation...

well, my summer vacation is over already.

i had a month between classes that i put to good use quilting. yay! it was quite fun getting the experience of being a full-time working artist. i think i could get used to it...

i have a few previews of things i worked on. they are still works in progress, but i just had to share anyway....

this one is in the works as a gift for a friend.... i had a ton of fun working on it, experimenting with improv piecing and no rotary cutter. i used scissors to cut my pieces and i didn't measure anything. quite liberating indeed! quilting and binding are next for this one...

these next two pics are a continuation of the ongoing 'turning 30 project'.  3 of the 7 quilts are finished and have been given to their owners. the next four are scheduled to be given in the first half of 2012. i'm pluggin along...

now on to figure drawing (my summer class)...
