THANK YOU!!!

I am being a total slacker today.  I should be at my quilt guild meeting, but have been out every day for the past week, & am just plain tired. We had the hospital "Holiday" party last Friday evening after I had worked all day. I really hate going to those parties, but Warren always wants to go in case he should win something (mostly he's hoping for the PTO-paid time off), that's usually given out. Of course we didn't win anything, & now that he's going to retire, I swear I will never go again, no matter how much longer I have to work there! 
The photo above, was a picture of Joyce's purse. She works with Warren. It's made from felted wool beads. I thought it was too cute!

Last night we went to the PAC to see "Beauty & the Beast". Of course you can't take photos of the performance. Disney is finicky that way. Although there were people everywhere snapping shots of the stage with their iPhones. I had my iPad in my purse, & only shot the carpet (below),

the ice sculptures outside,

& these 2 little beauties in the lobby. They were so cute.

Below are my souvenir streamers that we were shot with at the end of the "Be Our Guest" number. The performance was fun, I love Emily B. who played Belle. She is a very spunky girl, & had a beautiful voice.
Gaston & his sidekick were great too. I have to say though, if I had the opportunity to go to another Disney stage performance, I'd go see "The Lion King" again, over "Beauty & the Beast". LK is still my favorite.


THANK YOU TO ALL YOU WHO SET ME STRAIGHT ON THE QUILT PARTS. YES I AGREE, AFTER SEEING IT YOUR WAY, THE TREE IS A STOP SIGN. (I was thinking, autumn, school starts, & the apples above are shaped just like the stop sign too..). The perspective on the 4-square & the hopscotch are from the air, where everything else on the quilt is from the side, so I was trying to figure out what the were from the wrong perspective. THANKS AGAIN FOR HELPING ME OUT. I'm going to add binding & the sleeve, then will photograph the finished quilt & post it soon. 

I"M STILL ASKING FOR PHOTOS OF ANY QUILTS OR ARTWORK OR CRAFTS YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO SHARE FOR A SLIDE SHOW HERE IN ANCHORAGE AT THE GUILD.
JUST TELL ME WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO MAKE IT. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO HA A PHOTO OF THE INSPIRATION, JUST THE STORY. PLEASE?????

Thanks to Judy who has already generously shared several photos!!!

You can use any photos of mine you want, and I think you know all the stories behind my quilts!
Clever idea for a purse, there's always some new idea.

great purse and looks like a super show! I am interested in whether or not you are blogging from your ipad and your success with that. How are you uploading your photos from the ipad to use in your post? I got one for christmas but it looks like you have become the pro with it!!

I have sent you an e-mail with pictures for your lecture, but it seems to be in limbo on your e-mail server. May be it is too big!
I can resend one at a time, if you are interested. I don't have a blog and cannot link. Let me know at annick5424 at gmail.com.
Love your beautiful quilting.
