Material Things


On my way home from tutoring today, I was again so overwhelmed by the colors of fall.
I pulled over several times to snap pictures. It was raining a bit, and the wetness only intensified the 
brilliance of the foliage against the gray sky.




Last night, the quilt guild auction was terrific and, although I did restrain myself, I managed to fill a shopping bag with fabric!! My favorites were the batiks, which were quite a bargain considering the cost of good batiks in fabric stores. 



When I got home from the auction, Rosie had to investigate my purchases. She crawled right into one of the plastic bags, and of course I pulled her right out. She then sat down on the fabrics which I had piled on the sofa and knocked down the piles and generally caused bedlam - her favorite thing to do!


Today Rosie, Angus and I looked at all the luscious prints on the porch. I'm so lucky to have such artistic advisors!! Angus took a special interest in the lively patterns!
I am dying to use these beautiful fabrics in my fabric artwork.
 Stay tuned!
