Accepted

I was delighted to receive notice that my art quilt, Winter Greens, has been juried into the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum's 2011 International Juried & Judged Quilt Festival. The festival takes place at the end of September in La Conner, WA.

Winter Greens is one of my favorite of my recent works. I adapted the piece from photos I took at some Paris open markets last January. The quilt is a combination of piecing and applique with beading and decorative stitching for embellishment.
The acceptance comes at just the right moment as I begin work on my next art quilt after a long hiatus due to my traveling. I still feel like a relative newbie to this world of art quilts and this 'acceptance' is a great encouragement to continue my exploration.

How well do you differentiate color?

Time for a quick challenge? One of the email groups that I follow offered this link for testing how well you see color hue. Not surprisingly, I scored well. I found it a fun exercise. If you would like to try, click here.

  1. Judy,

    I love your piece - very rich in color and movement. Took the color test for fun. Did pretty well. Hope you have fun creating new quilts this summer. Keep us all abreast.
