At The Beach
Among several hearty wind and rain storms and some really nice sunny days, I was able to create 9 mini quilts using batiks, novelty prints, embroidery floss, ink stamps, and some paper appliqued and quilted in layers to a fabric foundation. I used Steam-a seam-2 to bond them to note cards and packaged them with an envelope and seal sticker. These were fun to make and sort of like eating potato chips---just can't stop with one. While there Matt hiked out to Cape Lookout and around the area nearby, lifted weights, swam in the pool, and skim boarded. He found plenty of sunshine to enjoy and we traveled or stayed in and worked Sudoku or jigsaw puzzles when it stormed. We feasted on steamed oysters and crab dishes at Mo's Seafood Restaurant in Taft, OR. Not bad eats and drinks in Pacific City at The Pelican Brewery, the Mexican restaurant, and the local bar and grill in town.
These were mailed to The Temporary Gallery in Baker City, OR to sell at their Feb. Art Sale. I was very pleased to get these completed. I have three more similar cards on sale at Fleur de lis Antiques and Collectables in Lacey, WA. One has sold there to date. I am selling them for $3.50 each. They don't sell well for me on eBay/ I think people actually have to hold them before they can buy one. What doesn't sell will get mailed out to friends and families for Valentine's Day 2013.
