Happy Thanksgiving from Mockingbird Bay Resort!

Wishing everybody a safe, self-distanced, Covid-FREE, squeaky clean & bleachy —- yet warm, cozy, delicious, and love-filled holiday season!

Let’s have BOTH, shall we?! Here’s to a fresh start arriving in 2021!

Eclipse Inspired Art Quilt from Outerspace!

Stars, planets, meteor showers, and blue batiks make up this art quilt made by Loretta Zortman.

“She’s got the whoOOOLLLe world…in her hands!…”—-gotta admit, I sang that song a few times while making this fun, space-inspired throw.  Gathering all my universe themed fabrics, all the various stars and skies, the many planet fabrics, and even black/blue swirly batiks was the easy part!  I had no real plan or block for this project, initially. So it was a Hot Mess for the first half—which left me feeling rather confused and frustrated. But somewhere in there, I turned the corner—and it started taking on shape.  By the time the top was complete, I loved it.  It was quilted it with stars around the border, some crazy-spirals, some shooting lines that are not too controlled—since this IS outerspace!  Just realized these pics are pre-quilting, oops!  LOL!  I’m inspired to continue digging into my stash of fabrics to stretch my creative juices.  🙂

A Cabin Merry Christmas from Norfork Lake!

Merry Christmas!

Colorful Batiks in the Mockingbird Studio Today!

Delicious!

The Polar Vortex may be outside, but inside my studio when I’m quilting it feels like Tahiti!

Tasty tropicals, fabulous florals, and a rainbow of batiks are keeping me warm while I work on a very colorful project.

Enjoy your day!
