Inktober!

So this year I decided to take part in the online phenomenon that is Inktober.  It is a challenge to make art, in pen and ink, everyday during the month of October.  I had never done pen and ink drawing before, but I decided to give it a try anyway.  The whole idea is for it to be a learning experience and I feel like it was for me.  I enjoyed it, but it became something of a chore by the end. 

Here are some of the highlights.  (You can see them all at https://www.instagram.com/jcooper52371/ if you are interested.)  Each day had a separate prompt.

 Build (day 5)

 Dragon (day 12)

 Overgrown (day 14)

 Tread (day 20)

 Dizzy (day 24)

Injured (day 29)

Roll Tide, Baby!

I finished the binding on this one on our way home from the airport this week.  It still  needs a label.  It is for my youngest granddaughter for Christmas.  I'm calling it "Roll Tide, Baby!" because the border fabric has elephants on it and both my daughter and son-in-law graduated from the University of Alabama.  It seemed appropriate for their daughter to have a "Roll Tide" quilt, even though it isn't overtly Alabama football themed.  I figure she can use it while she's snuggled up on the couch watching football with her daddy, someday.  She'll only be 1 year old at Christmas.
