September and October are very busy months for me, lots of traveling for work and not necessarily for pleasure. Then there are all the demands of others and my art quilt world waits and waits until I can get back to it. At least I comfort myself with knitting when I'm not in my basement studio with the art quilts. I've made hats, purses, scarves and finished a sweater, so I've been productive in the broader world of fiber arts. I've been positively green to read the blogs by those who stay home all day. I guess we all wish for what the other has. Finally, tho, I've been fusing and working on a couple of new quilt tops. Here are pictures of the works begun today.
