Another mushroom hunter. I like the hair on this girl and the basket was fun to put together with it’s interior and exterior. She hunts mushrooms for food and fun (8†x 10â€)

Sketching – Unfinished Randomness
I loved this girl as she is – the scarf is perfect to me. I’m a bit fearful of messing her up, but now that she is scanned like this, maybe my pencil can add a bit more to flush out a scene for her. Sometimes I can sketch a girl or two, but i […]
Mycologist
Another version of the girl holding a mushroom. It’s the first time that ‘fungus’ has ever seemed okay to add to a quilt. I like this jacket look on a girl, but I’m not certain, I have the look of a turtle neck captured right. She grew up to be mycologist (13†x 10â€)
Sketching – Book Lover
I have been devouring fiction lately, so I drew a book lover. See below for a list of books I’ve been enjoying. Practicing faces, birds and a moose! What have I been reading this year? All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness (Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night and The Book of Life) When the final […]
Foraging for Fungus
This girl is kneeling with a basket of her freshly picked mushrooms. It is far from chilly here, but I somehow see mushrooms as cooler weather activity, thus the sweater and hat. She enjoys foraging for fungus (8†x 10â€)
Sketching – Free Pie
Not only is it Wednesday, where you get free pie at Village Inn with your dinner, it is my anniversary. These sketches seemed perfect to celebrate today!
Excited to Pick Mushroom
August in Alaska is also mushroom time. We have a fungus fair at the end of the month, so made a few mushroom themed quilts to celebrate. This girl is proudly holding up her first picked mushroom. ‘Mushroom’ is stitched into this happy green background. She was excited to pick her first mushroom (13†x […]
Scrap Quilt – Part 2
Over a year ago, I started a scrap quilt. I planned to post more progress photos, but there wasn’t any progress until last week. The basket that housed the started scrap quilt was overflowing with even more scraps. I dumped it and got to work randomly piecing fabrics together to make 13†squares that I […]
Sketching – Designing Joy
This is what I doodled during an episode of Project Runway! More random sketches. I started creating one that described how I was feeling that day or moment. I’ve been a little tired and run down thanks to my allergies and a change in medication. Cannot wait to have everything sort of back to normal.
Sketching – Quilter
I had to make a quilter! The next one needs a big design wall! These are random sketches that preserve my sanity during stressful days.
