My Next Quilting Endeavor

I put together this collage to show you my next quilting project. I first saw the finished quilt on the left in one of our local quilt shops. I had inquired about the pattern and was told that the book it was in was no longer in print. Well, me being the researcher personality that I am, I refused to take "no longer in print" for an answer! I HAD to have that pattern. Not only was it sunflowers, but it consisted of all batiks. We all know that I LOVE batiks! So, I set out on a journey to find the book. I headed to Amazon to see if they had a used copy, to no avail. Next, I headed to Ebay and sure enough there was a copy. I was ecstatic!

At Quiltfest a few weeks ago I decided to stock up on some FABULOUS dot/circle themed batiks from Batiks Etcetera to use in my new quilt. I would love to start on it sometime soon. Hopefully life will provide me some down time because this quilt requires alot of tedious cutting.

Art Journal Round Robin - Round 4

My round robin update is finally here. Time seems to come at a premium these days.

Anyhoo, I finished this spread in Erin Kenepps' journal 2 weeks ago and it's already with the next recipient. Erin started this wonderful round robin for us. I've been pressed for time these days to work in each journal but have somehow, at the last minute, pulled off some art for each one. I've enjoyed this collaboration and I'm looking forward to finishing my next journal that now awaits me in the studio. More to come soon...

Quiltfest 2010 Favorites

I attended Quiltfest this past weekend. This is an annual quilt show put on each year here in Jacksonville by our local quilt guilds. These are some of my favorite quilts that I snapped some quick pics of. There were alot of art quilts entries this year. The pink, green and yellow quilt is my creation. It was entered into a silent auction and the proceeds went to charity. I bought some great polka dotted batiks for an upcoming project. I'll share pics of those later on this weekend. Enjoy the pics!
