old dogs learn new tricks...

i have been

quilting

for many years...

.

decades in fact

yet i have never

not one single time

pieced anything

 using batiks

there i said it

hard to believe i know

not sure why exactly

as i love looking at them

finally

 i decided the time was now

it helped that i fell in love

head over heels in love with

 mango margarita

a spring 2011

 hoffman bali pop release

i started out small

important for an old dog

learning a new trick

popsicle sticks

 by atkinson designs was perfect

when i was finished

i had some leftover strips...

another first for me

an intentionally pieced backing

love how it came out

off it went to be quilted on friday

i can't wait to see

 what diane does with it
