Its been a while since I last posted. I have been very busy clearing my schedule of monthly commitments so I can focus solely on CastleMyst Creations. I have gotten my things down to the Wedding Star quilt, the Saturday morning Bee, and of course, the Charity Quilts. I am starting to work on CastleMyst Creations (CMC) a little bit, but the lack of drawing skills is holding me back. I can not draw a realistic human figure. I think what I might do is take pictures of my daughter and trace them and use that image to draw my figures. I want to take an online class on how to do picture quilts. I think it will help.

I am very excited to be beginning this endeavor of starting my own business. A lot of things seem to be falling into place with this. I just need to get the drawing thing down. I have conquered bigger things than this. I will figure out how to get this done!

In the mean time, I have already gotten a lot of stuff done! I finished the Kentucky Derby Hat Quilt on Superbowl Sunday while that farce of a game was playing. And I also finished the Glacier Star Quilt class. Both came out awesome!

I did some free motion quilting on the hat quilt:

I really hope this quilt does well at the raffle!

I went to Quilt Camp with a local quilt store 2 weeks ago and had such a blast! It is so nice to just sit and quilt all day everyday, for 4 days! With no interruptions! Well, except for Dave calling to tell me he dropped all of Tara's Tramadol down the drain! LOL.  I was able to get a lot done there. Came home and I am dragging now with this drawing thing. The guild wants me to do a free motion demo next month. Maybe I will work on that for a while. Until this online class gets going and Sandy comes home so I can take pictures of her.

Until next time...
