New Work in Progress
|
I'm really having fun working on my current quilt. It features crotons and, as you can see, it's very colorful. Just my thing!
I love these vibrant colors and I think I'll kick them even more by using bright colors for the veins. Maybe bright blue for the largest leaf and lime green for the fuscia one. You get the idea.
I'm posting about this quilt a lot on my blog. If you want to learn about my past decisions and follow the future ones, be sure to visit often.

Art on Tour
|
 I'm busy preparing to send my work to a variety of exhibits. At the top of the list is a two-person show at the King Center for Performing Arts, in Melbourne, FL. This March show will feature some work that hasn't been seen in a while, including Urban Sprawl, shown at left.
This quilt underwent an extreme makeover. One in which I cut it up and reassembled it. As a result, it won a Judge's Choice Award for "Best Off the Wall Composition." You can read about the makeover here.
The exhibit will also include at least six other fairly large pieces of mine, as well as the work of Jo-Ann Jensen, a talented silk painter.
In addition, I'll have three pieces in the Seaside Piecemakers show, also in Melbourne, in March. Plus a piece that I've donated to their small quilt auction. You can see all these quilts and event details here.

What's New
|
My time as intensive care giver has pretty much come to an end. I was happy to help my family member, and even more delighted with the treatment results.
Now, I'm REALLY enjoying being back in the studio, as well as hanging out with my fiber art buddies. (Check my blog to see what I've been up to.) Life is good!!!
I hope you're enjoying your own unique quilt making adventure!
