The Gussy Goose has invited me to the Fall Craft Bazaar this weekend in the Patch Barracks Gymnasium. The Bazaar is open from 10:00 to 18:00 Saturday and Sunday, and I’ll be there from 11:00 to 1:00 on Saturday, with the new Machine Quilting—Master the Basics Workshop on CD loaded on the laptop and ready to preview. I’ll also have my latest quilt, Grasping Reality: Fifteen on display. See you there!

I’ve added a bit more about the Grasping Reality: Fifteen quilt to the Gallery. Detail shots are coming, as soon as I get a chance to do some website programming on my own site! Read about the design of the quilt, where it originated, and see the original artwork that inspired it. See if you can guess where the quilt is destined to go! Enjoy!

It’s been awhile since the last Quilting with Patches and Shadow update, but here’s a good one for you. I’m working on the Swarovski crystals on the Grasping Reality: Fifteen quilt, and of course, Shadow has to be right in the middle of it all.

‘Course, Shadow has to be in the middle of everything, really. He’s just that kind of cat. Patches is content to be in the same room with me, and if I get up and leave the room, he waits a bit to see if I’ll come back right away (like maybe it was just a short trip to the bathroom or something). Not so with Shadow. If I leave the room he’s on my heels, and when I come out of the bathroom, he’s sitting across the doorway where I have to step over him to get by.

I’m not so sure I’m fond of this little cat at all; we definitely haven’t bonded at this point. Maybe when he grows out of the “kitten stupids” and quits waking me up every night scratching on things and generally being rotten, sometimes three or four times a night, we’ll be better friends.
