http://dressedtothetees.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Dressed to the Tees. Monday, August 29, 2011. Giddy Up Rocker Chic. 65279;I'm participating in a fundraiser for a little girl, Rosie. Who is battling brain cancer among other scary illnesses. She is really into rock n roll so when I found the new Michael Miller guitar prints I knew that's exactly what I should get. I made a little purse and coordinating pin and alligator hair clip for the auction style fundraiser. I will be adding these to my etsy shop. Dressed To The Tees by RLG. Halloween Is On My Mind.

Wayne's Quilts: Pythagoras' Lute
http://waynesquilts.blogspot.com/2014/04/pythagoras-lute.html
Monday, April 7, 2014. This is one of those quilts that has a big "WOW! Factor and looks way more complicated to make than it is. The secret is that, while the spirals are the dominant feature that your brain interprets from what your eyes see, in actuality, the quilt is made of 10 wedges, each containing a series of pentagrams which build on each other as they expand outward. And. There is not one curved. Line in the quilt! For more on the history and math behind this design, click here. So what to do?

Wayne's Quilts: Labyrinth
http://waynesquilts.blogspot.com/2015/03/labyrinth.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2015. About a year ago I posted my Bulging Checkerboard quilt ( Stand Back! And got a lovely email about it from a quilter in Portland, Oregon named Margaret Ellis. She also wanted to make that pattern, but in the same size as I did (51 x 51) vs the original 102 x 102 size of the pattern. Since that time we have corresponded regularly and shared photos and ideas about a number of projects. And, yes.she did make the Checkerboard quilt too. This pattern also makes a huge quilt: 84 x 84!

Wayne's Quilts: Monkey Time!
http://waynesquilts.blogspot.com/2014/06/monkey-time.html
Tuesday, June 10, 2014. This quilt is for Wendy's personal trainer and friend, Rich. He and his wife, Tanya, are having their first child at the end of July. The greens and browns are the colors of the baby's room. I really went out of my comfort zone with the quilting in the dark brown areas. It is stippled, but I kind of made a "scribble" to represent the monkey's fur. Yes, lines crossed over other lines! And yes, that is a banana that he (she? That's what a stash is for! See the Mama Elephant. 3D - Oc...

Thursday, February 13, 2014. Another quilt made for a new grand-nephew of my friend Mari. This time, she asked Jackie, the new mom, to look at my blog for ideas or inspiration. She did so and fell in love with the Noah's Ark. Quilt So that's what Mari asked me to make. Once again I used the animals and ark patterns found in "A Quilter's Ark". The ark is monogrammed with baby Sebastian's name! The front features a peaceful sky and calm waters, while the back has a roiling, storm-tossed sea. 3D / Op Art.
