 This one took a ton of time because the skirt is hand painted- even the background blues & purples. It is filled with Georgia elements including our state bird, insect, mammal, flower, fruit, tree and crop. Those of you who are going to the convention will discover many of the same elements on the program cover (that I also designed & painted). The top features hand smocking- a time consuming technique that just looks amazing!

    Hard to tell in these pictures but these average 70 inches wide and 90 inches tall. They will be found throughout the youth room.
 I just finished this oil painting for my Holiday Cards this year! The tractor belongs to a friend of mine and I have been itching to paint it for years!  Had some fun with this Sugar Skull and bustle dress! Don Carter State Park is only about 27 miles from home and I volunteer there for special events. This time I face painted for their Halloween Bash. Painted over about a week this Potions Classroom backdrop is a real stunner! Just check out all the amazing details in the room. From tiny potions to the slate floor- there is a ton to discover. Now why did I do this? Oh yeah... The 68th Annual Square Dance Convention will be next year in Atlanta and I am in charge of decorating the Youth Room. Any guesses on the theme? The proper theme is 'Georgia is Magic' but the kids (and adults) all will spot a bunch of Harry Potter themes in the room. Our beautiful town of Dahlonega has its' Old Jail open only a few times a year. Of course I mean the 1884 jail- where the sheriff and his family lived downstairs while the prisoners stayed in the cells upstairs. The Lumpkin County Historical Society uses it as its' home and opens it up to the public for tours when possible. I love to volunteer for those times- but all dressed up of course. Here we go- the new dress that thrilled around 400 people this past 4th of July! I was asked to provide a 'door prize' for the upcoming 2019 68th Annual National Square Dance Convention that will be held in Atlanta. Our group the Gold Country Squares is small, but tightly involved with the upcoming convention. Here is the quilt I created for it!  Once I finished that quilt I realized that our club could raffle off a similar quilt as a fundraiser. So I hit the sewing machine again and made this one!  We have left the local market. Their idea is great- but the location just did not work out for us.Now you can buy our great hand crafted FANDOM items in Dahlongea at:
