Mountain Dew and Imagaination

Long time no post and for good reason,  My dreams have come true.


My new view. 


flowers



my blues and purples and pinks

orange, yellow and blues.
My day today was spent in lots of color.  Rainbows of color, dyes, fabric and the wonder of it all.  It is so exciting to see the results of surprise parfair dying.  Do I have a quilt in mind?  Yes, I do, I love the wonder of the lake, seaweed, or should I say Lakeweed, browm muscrats, fish with tinged of blue/green flash, white m\n grey ospray's, brown/green ducks, black n white canadian geese and blue sky and tan sand, lush green trees, lime green weeds and purple flowers.  My DREAM come true!   I am here and this is mine, all mine and paid for!.  Ownership is such a wonderful thing.  Thank you GOD!.  and Thank you Helen and Irene!.
