2024

Last year, the 2022-2023 school year kicked my butt. This year is doing the same. That said, I started so far with one smaller one finished in a month, and I’m on my way to a second one. Smaller is better? I love making the big quilts, and my goal is to have one going for Spring Break, since we can’t do our normal camping trip. So in December, I gathered a bunch of my smaller sketchbooks and enlarged 12 different drawings. I taped them together and picked one…

This is War Zone, started on December 28, I think, of 2023, and finished in January of this year.

39” w x 37 ½” h, $2715. I took the original drawing and added to the bottom of it, plus some other war-related stuff. Between the Ukraine/Russian war that has been going on for a year now with no signs of letting go, now the war in the Gaza strip between Hamas and Israel. So many babies and children hurt or killed or lost their homes. Over what? I don’t see a way to solve either, although I’d like Russia to put their pants on and go back home. Sometimes it feels like the world is full of assholes. Wanna know why there are so many rocketships in my quilts? Let’s leave for space, find a nice little oxygenated planet somewhere and settle down. Leave the assholes behind.

Anyway, I’m already onto a 2nd one, with a 3rd being started (for a show deadline) this weekend, hopefully. If I can get my head around it. Then a big one for Spring Break and beyond. I guess now I’m hoping the next school year is better.
