It's a new month and I like to keep things fresh so I gave my display at the Grant County Art Guild gallery a little makeover. (How is it November already?!?)

A week of quirky quilts.

Thinking out of the box is one way to get us out of our troubles. Do something unexpected.

If I do nothing else in my life, I did that.
