Roswell, New Mexico

We recently visited Roswell, New Mexico. I decided to post a few of the pics from our visit. We enjoyed our drive through NM especially the White Sands Missle Museum, Roswell, and Cloudcroft.

Falling Leaves

This was the view last week from my front yard. Doesn't the neighbor's new barn look great with the changing leaves in the background. Notice the fallen leaves in our yard. They have since been removed by wind and the lawn mower. Most of the leaves have fallen and it's time for my DH to clean gutters before we leave our wonderful country home.

Fabric Postcards

I recieved these two fabric postcards recently. Aren't they lovely? The autumn themed card with the lovely pic of boats is from Pam C. in Maine. She took the photo on a trip to the coast of Maine. This was for the October postcard swap on Fabric in Altered Arts 2.

The Frida postcard is from Anne in CA. It was for the Day of the Dead postcard trade on Fiber Art Traders. Thanks to Anne and Pam.

Hip Hip Horray! We now have high-speed internet!!

Even our resident squirrel is celebrating the installation of high speed internet here in the country. Finally found someone who didn't just go by what the girls in the office said but thought we might be able to get a good signal so far our here in the country. The signal is great and we feel that we are back in the technology age. No more dial-up. I can now see the granddaughter's Halloween costumes. Some of the photos didn't download and the two that did were just like that t.v. ad where it takes forever for the picture to download.

Now I can blog from the country. I'll post more photos of fall in the country later today. Now I'm off the look at emails I haven't even tried to open because of size.

Faces on Fabric quilt

"Violet" is my second faces on fabric quilt. I decided to embellish this quilt with buttons and beaded earrings. I recently signed up for the Faces on Fabric class from Terri Stegmiller. I'm quite pleased with my two quilts. You can see my first quilt here.

October Fabric Postcard

This is my October postcard for Fabric in Altered Art II group. A very simple fabric postcard with fused applique cut from Halloween print. Embellished with Diamond Dust and Sharpie Marker. Edges were pinked. The postcard will be mailed to Maine today.

Day of the Dead Fabric Postcard

This fabric postcard is for a trade on Fiber Art Traders. It's a Day of the Dead postcard trade. I found this lovely fabric in my stash. Don't know where I got it but it says that it is a Folk Art Pattern from New Mexico. Very appropriate for a Mexican holiday card. I edged the skull with glitter glue and then added glitter to the red flower. Last I added the yellow flower and zigzag stitched the edge to a cardstock back.
