Bobbies Crow Quilt: Top pinned.

Back: A cacophony of fabrics.

Now I have to find some pieces of my sewing machine before I can start. You know how it goes…you put something somewhere so you don’t lose it. That’s me. There is a flat plate that goes around the machine arm. Sewing large pieces is much easier with that plate on the machine. I checked in the garage yesterday. Not there. Let us hope it is upstairs somewhere.

Bobbie is a painter of some note. I love saying that. She did a show several years ago using crows to represent members of her family. Dead crows for dead folks etc,. She loves crows. She started her life in art as an illustrator. Very realistic. Very formal. These two center panels represent her transition from the formality of Mondrian to the Expressionism and Abstractionisms found in the art world today. They are a mandala of color in a two shade of purple background.

My whole goal of the day is to find that carefully saved sewing machine plate.

Yes, I see you are laughing at me. I am too.
