Happy Wednesday! I managed to get into the studio yesterday and loaded the blue/green quilt that I'm making for my sister Angie. Today I spent a bit of the day quilting it. I'm practicing feathers and adding stippling and swirls so that it will go quickly. So far, so good, although I haven't taken many photos as I've worked. I'm going to have to work on that.
I might be finished by the weekend! If so, I'd sure like to get back to work on the barn quilt. It is just sitting in the way, percolating in my brain, and needing some TLC. I think I may have a next step and really am itching to give it a try, but I must finish Angie's quilt first.
Let's pin, shall we? I've amp'ed up the fine art board. In fact, I have 670 or so pins on that board alone. It's my biggest board, but there's just so much beautiful art available and I love just looking at the photos and really appreciating the workmanship. I love the masters!
Following the fine art are a few vintage finds that I thought you'd enjoy.

Happy Quilting,

I'm supposed to be cleaning house and cooking, so this post will have to be a bit shorter than usual. The kids and in-laws are coming for supper. We're celebrating Thanksgiving today since everyone can come tonight. Waiting till tomorrow means missing out on a couple of family members and we can't have that!
I was getting worried that I'm spending too much time on Pinterest. While pinning yesterday, I took note of some other pinners' stats. It was just for my own curiosity, of course. Well, I discovered that I'm a bit of an underachiever when it comes to Pinterest! Whew, that's a nice discovery.
Enjoy these pins of a variety of visual arts.....
One of the problems with Pinterest is that people can load photographs from anywhere and include no information or the wrong information. Choosing pins is fun and easy, unless like me, you tend to want the photographs to be captioned correctly.
I've had to give up on this. At first I would add comments with information I knew to be correct. That is a battle I lost the day I began it. Now, I choose carefully the pins I will add to my own boards and edit when I just can't take the comments.
I do enjoy looking at the photographs, and I've found them to be a great way to add artworks to my lessons. My days of teaching fine art survey are long gone, but I still hold on to the appreciation I developed while teaching the masters. That's a gain I hope to hold on to for a long, long time!
Are you a pinner? If so, leave a comment with your Pinterest address so we can come for a visit. I can be found here.
