On Crafting

I have the apartment to myself this week. My boyfriend is away on business so the livingroom has become craft central. Fabric and papers everywhere! It's beautiful! It's not that my boyfriend doesn't approve of my crafting, it's just I am feeling more liberal about the territory I'm staking.
I have been a crafts person since I can remember. As kids my sisters and I were given paints, fabric, wood scraps, anything you could imagine to create anything we could imagine. My mother can't sit for longer hen 5 minutes without knitting, crotcheting, or quilting something. Her first love is painting she is an artist to her core, and also a teacher of arts. I remember when I was little washing and carting wool for her to spin and weave on the big loom that stood in her bedroom.
This week I am trying to finish a quilt block I have been working on forever! I've taken out everystitch about 3 times! Hopefully I will fininsh in the next 2 days. Tomorrow I am buying a new sewing machine!!!!!
The pic posted is the last quilt block finished, my version of Paul Klee's 'Face'. The current project is 'Madame X' by Sargent.
