Guess we have to discuss color value!!!

This is the newest wall-hanging Jessi made here this week when visiting us.  I let her pick all her fabrics and she wanted to use the GO! tumbler die.  That was fine BUT when she laid them out (which I let her do on her own), she didn't really balance her color values very well, as you can see.  She was SO happy with the way it looked to her, though, so I didn't want to make her change it.  I guess next summer we will do some work on color values and balance in quilts!!!  For now, you can see she is very happy with this and it is cute when you see it in person.....just not "balanced".  LOL  This will be her "winter" wall-hanging...snowflakes and penguins!  (I will do the quilting and binding...hope to get her to do some of that herself by next summer....building on what she learned this summer.)

I'm back!!!

We are back from a fantastically fun family trip to Walt Disney World.  Many photos of that...and reviews of things we did there....will pop up in the near future.  For now, here is a photo of my daughter and the grands with Mickey & Minnie!!!  Gotta love all of them!!!  (Notice Mickey playing with Jessica's pig-tails!!!)  :)
