Once in a Blue Moon

Here is another quilt I made sort of recently. It was made for a challenge with our local Art Quilt Group, the theme was color, and I randomly picked the color blue, the quilt had to be made of all blue hues. This hung in the local bead shop for "First Friday Art Night" and then stayed along with the others from the group for a month. All the wonderful colors put together looked wonderful. Each quilt was the same size so it became a very cohesive show. And, best of all, this sold to someone who needed a present for their nephew's wedding, his name was Blue and he was getting married on a day with a blue moon. Guess it was made to happen.

Think like an artist

Things have been busy, lots of small quilts in the making and I am taking a class with Pamela Allen on line entitled Think Like an Artist, with weekly assignments. I will post week 1 assignment as well. I am mailing off my entry to Tactile Architecture" today, in plenty of time I think. You never know. I am also working on a few others for other entries. I would like to enter the Long Beach show since it is a premier show and I love the themes, being a Southern California gal many many years ago. My puppy had surgery last week, he swallowed a pin! I watched it happen and they don't exactly exit cleanly, especially in a 7 pound little one. So, the new thing is to teach him to stay completely out of my sewing room, I am sorta messy when creating and don't want that sort of thing to happen again. Quite the expensive surgery! Who would have guessed.
