Welcome to my little part of the world in the Around The World Blog Hop.
I was asked to join in by my friend Cindy of Live A Colorful Life. We meet here in Minnesota every summer for a retreat. Go check out her blog - she has many astonishing creations!
Now for the reason you may be here visiting - the blog hop.
These are the questions I was asked to answer:
1. What am I working on?
I just finished the first of three Halloween Costumes - one of my favorite sewing projects. I made many for my children and now I am making them for my grandchildren. Here is one of my favorites - a garden gnome costume for Audrey a few years ago.
Well genre seems like a word a little extravagant to be used in a sentence about my creations. My description of the differences would include that I like to sew everything: quilts,bags, garments,costumes, table coverings,wall hangings; I like almost every different type and color of fabric; I can be working on EPP, costume design and wonky patchwork at the same time. What I guess I'm trying to say - I love variety!
3. Why do I create what I do?
I create because it is a part of who I am and it makes me happy!
I have asked Karen of Badlands Quilts to join this blog hop. Karen and I have followed each other's blogs for quite a while and we both belong to the Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild. I enjoy seeing Karen's style of putting great fabrics together in her projects.
I also asked Michele of Island Life Quilts to join in on the fun. Michele and I have also followed each other's blogs for some time. I admire Michele's somewhat classic style without being afraid of using beautiful colors.
Be sure to stop by on and check out both of their blog posts next Monday October 6th.
Thanks for stopping by.

I like your cute garden Gnome costume! Variety is a better word than Quilter's ADD.
this is a great way to find new to me blogs
That's an awfully cute garden gnome. As much I liked to sew for my daughter, Halloween costumes was not a big part of the picture. I think the word variety is a great way to describe your style. So nice to know a little more about a fellow bee mate.
I love the idea of "around the world". And Audrey is such a cute nome. So creative.

I love that each of us is able to find parts of the process that make us happy . . . LOVE that little gnome!!
Your work is always so beautiful, Mary, and I have enjoyed following you over the years.
Fun to see that cute little garden gnome at the top of the post--it's a hard act to follow, but your quilts really shone and did carry the day! I love the idea that you like variety. I feel the same, and if I had to just be one kind of quilter, I think I'd go nuts. Thanks for a lovely post!

Thanks for sharing your projects. I do enjoy seeing the great variety that you make.
That is a gorgeous costume.
I have that same star quilt in my UFO pile.
