REMEMBER THE SAYING...GREAT THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES. WELL I HOPE IT APPLIES TO QUILTS TOO, BECAUSE THIS SMALL 12 X 12 IN QUILT IS MY DONATION FOR THE ANNUAL SAQA FUND RAISER.
SAQA, STUDIO ART QUILT ASSOCIATES, IS A WORLD WIDE ORGANIZATION WHOSE MAIN FUNCTION IS TO EDUCATE AND PROMOTE QUILTING AS AN ART. EVERY YEAR THEY HAVE A ONLINE AUCTION OF 12 X 12 INCH ART QUILTS DONATED BY MEMBERS. A FEW OF THE QUILTS EACH YEAR ARE SELECTED TO GO TO THE HOUSTON QUILT SHOW TO BE SOLD IN A LIVE AUCTION. MY DONATIONS HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO GO TO HOUSTON FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
ACTUALLY THIS SMALL FABRIC QUILT SHOULD REALLY BE CALLED SISTER ACT TWO. THE ORIGINAL QUILT WAS DONE IN PAPER AND WAS SUBMITTED AND PUBLISHED IN SOMERSET STUDIO MAGAZINE. I HAVE TWO LOVES...PAPER ARTS AND TEXTILE ARTS AND SOMETIMES THEY CROSS POLLINATE.
I LOVE TO HAVE FUN WITH MY PIECES AND THE THOUGHT OF USING THE FINE SISTERS AS BACKUP SINGERS TICKLED MY FANCY.
THIS WAS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE LESS GRAMMA...MORE REDFOX MOMENTS.
