Another Black and White Desert

Years ago I made this art quilt for a traveling exhibit:



I called it "Black and White Desert". It was in a show in Poway, CA a few years ago, and one of my cousins saw it and liked it very much. It was not for sale, but she commented that she would like to have it.

This cousin recently had a milestone birthday, and a few months ago I was asked to make a second version of this art quilt for her as a joint gift from several of us for her birthday. I was very happy to do this, and we gave it to her just last week at her birthday party. I am happy to report that she loved it! My next few posts are going to show the making of this art quilt, which is shown below.

Mary's Desert Oasis

I call it Mary's Desert Oasis. She lives in the Phoenix area and it goes well in her decor. You can see how similar it is to the first one. I'll tell you more about this one soon! Thanks for visiting my blog!

"Attitudes!" is Making It's Second Stop!

My Attitudes! exhibit will be in Virginia next, at the Mancuso Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival. This show is next weekend! The exhibit can be seen from Thursday, February 22 through Sunday, February 25, 2018. 

The Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival is held at the Hampton Roads Convention Center located at 1610 Coliseum Drive, Hampton, Virginia. 

I hope you have a chance to see it! Thanks to Mancuso for this opportunity and thanks for visiting my blog!

Building Tiles

Several years ago I was showing a friend a city-scape I had made. She said, "Oh I have the perfect thing for that!". The "perfect thing" was building tiles.  Brightly colored squares made of plastic. They have a hole in the center that allows you to sew them on, like you would a sequin. Here is a picture of them:



Well I love to put these on buildings now. Of course I went out and bought a lot of them. I think I now have more than I could ever use in my life time, but they are pretty!

I put them on my blue and red tie-scape buildings, as you can see in these photos:























I sewed side panels on this and a back and made it a box shaped pillow. Here it is finished! Yippee!
