Today I spent more time on a Christmas present that I will not be able to reveal until after Christmas, and I'm bursting to tell! I am quite excited about it but I can't tell yet.
Yesterday my son and I spent some time together at the Krohn Conservatory for the 2016 Holiday show to see the Christmas decorations. I enjoyed touring it with him, and then we hit Five Guys for lunch. Yummy!
Steven in a train carved out of a tree trunk:
And cutting around each paper form on my new rotating mat! I used my glue stick to keep the fabric squares attached at this point. It worked!
Next up: hand basting. This from the girl who doesn't do hand sewing.
Oh, check out Sew Mama Sew for giveaways, but they're almost over so hurry!
One more for those who like art of all sorts: check out JessicaPutnamPhillips.com for a ceramics artist. I've been following her on Periscope while I quilt my surprise. I've learned a lot about ceramics watching her scopes. I still choose quilting, but what she does is amazing! She shares my view that art allows me to focus on what I'm doing instead of worrying. It's a way to just be and find my place.

Pretty cool, huh!
Finally a view of part of the holiday scene. The buildings are miniatures of buildings in Cincinnati, as is the train that circles throughout the whole thing.
And finally, some quilting! I cut out 13 hexagon shapes from paper for my modern quilt from Craftsy's 2012 Block of the Month by Amy Gibson, and 13 3 1/2" squares. Here's decision time for fabrics. I hope they work!
