Hope the branch is sturdy on this little potted plant!

Happy Easter
Hope you are enjoying this wonderful day.
Summer Quilting
Even on a cold day like today, I have to imagine that someday it will be Summer and I will no doubt be quilting. Even dreaming of Summer seems to warm me up a bit.

The Bird Tree
So where to the birds go to hang out? The Bird Tree of course. It’s a fowl favorite!

Bunny with Flowers
I wish I was more original. I saw a drawing similar to this on Pinterest with a cat sitting in the chair. I decided it should be a bunny holding a flower in my painting. Is that cheating?
Is he waiting for his Valentine?

Life is Good
I was feeling lonesome for my brushes today. This I truly believe.

Day 17: Glorious Sax
You may not know I’m a sax player. I played in various jazz bands all through high school and college. Playing the sax took me all across the US, Canada and even Romania and Bulgaria. I played my sax at a resort on the Black Sea. I even played in a back up band for jazz great, Dizzy Gillespie at my local community college. I’m certainly not any where near a professional, but I had lots of good times with my sax. Unfortunately, I don’t play much any more.
This little painting gave me way too much grief today! For some reason, my materials just seemed to be working against me. And it took way too long when I needed to be at my quilting machine. It came out sloppier than I intended. Well, there’s always tomorrow!

Flower House
Doing a little painting again. This one puts a smile on my face. Hope you are having a happy, creative day too!
American Flower Pot
We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend here. Warm weather has finally arrived! The trees just about have all of their leaves and the world is glorious. Our little town of Antioch, IL (pop. 8500 or so) has put up American flags on all the light posts downtown. It’s a little slice of midwest Americana. That’s probably what inspired this piece. Flowers and flags put a smile on my face!
This is just one of several paintings I have added new to my Etsy shop today.
China Flowers
More pictures from my recent trip to China. I don’t claim to be a great photographer, but I thought I would share these anyway. The trees and flowers were just gorgeous! Especially as we have nary a leaf on a tree yet here in Chicago, I’m so glad that wasn’t the case on our April trip.
These pics are from a 1000 year old garden in Suzhou. Even though it was a little rainy that day, it was still quite beautiful.
The Chinese love their rocks. You will see them prominently displayed everywhere.
Kularb, Mike, (my brother & his wife), Pam (that’s me!) and my hubby, David.
Loved this cute umbrella that a little girl was carrying.
Outside the garden, there was a farmers’ market. The fruit was as pretty as the flowers.
Not sure I recognize these!
On the way back we stopped at a flower market in Shanghai. I’ve never seen orchids like these!
Tabletop trees made of live bamboo.
Tiny dried gourds–about 3″ long. Not sure what you would do with them, but they were cute nonetheless.
Here at home, I’m just hoping my tulips will finally bloom this week!
Feline in the Flowers
More cats! Not sure why. I’m more of a dog person. It must be that cats are more fun to draw!
Day 24 Think Spring
For those of us in the northern part of the northern hemisphere, this winter has NOT been fun! More below zero temperatures are coming and there seems no end in sight. In times like this we must keep our chins up, stay inside and THINK SPRING! We know it will come…. someday! So today’s painting is one of optimism.

Day 15 A Pocket Full of Posies
Ring around the rosie, a pocket full of posies….. I’ve had this image in my head for a while and thought I would paint my own “pocket” of flowers. It just seemed to need a bunny also. He’s looking for his Valentine. Will he find her before it’s too late?

Day 14 Bunny on a Hill
This bunny is enjoying some warm breezes. Hope some come our way soon. We are almost to the half way point of this challenge. Congratulations to everyone who is sticking this out. I am enjoying some wonderful art everyday from all of you.

Funny Bunny
I finished several little paintings while here in Las Vegas. I’m leaving tomorrow and will be back in quilting land soon. I’ve skipped a few seasons with this one. But I’m sure it won’t be too long before we’re all dreaming of Spring.
Cat
For you cat lovers out there. My favorite part about drawing this cat was the tail!
Sheep in the Flowers
This little painting was inspired by a primitive style hooked rug. I find ideas for artwork everywhere.
Where do you get your inspiration?
Quilter’s Home
Can you tell a quilter lives here? If you are a quilter, can people tell as soon as they walk through your door? How about before they even come in? I must admit I proclaim my addiction right on my front porch where there is always a seasonal quilt tossed over a chair. If that wasn’t clue enough, guests are bombarded with quilting first thing in my front foyer. What’s your quilting house like?
Bordered Blue Bird
Here’s another of my mini paintings.

Do you think this will appeal to quilters?
My Quilting Studio
I actually have a few quilting “studios”. I have taken over my living room and two upstairs bedrooms for my quilting obsession. That doesn’t even count the boxes and bins in the hallway and basement that are overflowing with fabric and unfinished vintage quilt tops. Even then, the work often overflows into my family and dining rooms. My poor family has to put up with it all. But no one complains. I painted this little sign just for fun. Maybe I need to make several!
