January Word

Here is my Haiku for our January word:  Beginnings....
Treacherous frost lurks
Tender shoots defy the chill
Hardy rosebuds thrive.

Come take a look at all the beautiful art work on our blog: http://haikuart.blogspot.com
I'm working on the fiber art that will accompany this Haiku and will post it within the week.

Goals and Gotta-Dos

One of the shows that I wanted to submit to has a deadline only 4 days from now.  There's no way I'll finish the quilting on the piece that I wanted to submit.  Darn.  Time just slipped by.  And I've been caught up in doing some very mundane quilting.  As in items that I promised to people and must get done. 

However, all that said, I'm looking forward to receiving the first "challenge word" this week from our Haiku-Art group.  It'll be "ready, set, go" with only a week to create and finish the Haiku and the art piece.

So far as my "mundane" work - actually they are 2 quilts that I'll enjoy doing.  One is the softy sea for my younger granddaughter and I've got all the elements ready now to put together.  It's been a fun designing process. The other is a lap quilt (a wedding gift) and I just finished cutting out the first round of strips.
