I Met the Deadline!

 Starting my day with a fresh cup of coffee and these beauties.

Today is the day I've been preparing for 

for the past seven weeks. 

 My first official art quilt is finished, 

and I met the application deadline for the 

Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center's

annual juried quilt show called

Quilts=Art=Quilts.

My past seven weeks have been consumed with:

sketches and cartoons

hand applique, reverse applique and fused applique

18 colors of thread

batiks and silks

and

a thoroughly joyful process.

Avoiding potential disqualification,

I'm refraining from showing you the quilt just yet. 

What I can share is that it tells not only my personal story, 

but one that is universal. I dig that.  

Should the quilt be accepted into this juried show, 

I believe I could safely reveal in October, once the show opens.

If it's denied, then I'll show it as soon as possible.

I love it, and I can't wait to share it with you!

 Last week, I showed you three bobbins of singles,

and I promised to show you all three plied together. 

Above: Fat Cat Knits, BFL, 3 ply, 844 yards (!)

Below: Bobbin ends, Fat Cat and IntoTheWhirled, 3 ply

 Below, 900 yards slung over another of my favorite coffee spots.

Wish me and my art quilt luck!

I'll let you know the results as soon as I hear. 

What are you working on?

I'd love to hear!
