SAQA Auction is Coming

A week from today the SAQA Auction will begin. This innovative online auction features a host of foot-square quilts created by art quilters specially for this event.

The Auction is run in three sections. On the first day of each section's auction, the price for each piece in that section is $750. The next day (at 2:00 Eastern), the price drops to $550. The third day, it drops to $350, then $250, then $150, and finally $75.

The first section will begin September 12th at 2:00 PM Eastern. The second section will begin September 19th at 2:00 PM Eastern. The third section will begin September 26th at 2:00 PM Eastern.

You can view the quilts now on the SAQA website. 

Here is a peek at my contribution:

Rice Fields

New Arrival

I arrived home to a new metre of dyed fabric from Lisa Walton of Dyed and Gone to Heaven in Australia.  I came across a reference to Lisa and her fabrics in a SAQA discussion about a year ago. I decided to try some of her fabric and found it worked extremely well for me. Both my Rice Fields and Homeless art pieces use primarily Lisa's fabrics. Lisa has a Metre Club where you receive a metre of dyed fabric every month. I am amazed at how her pieces inspire me to create.

Isn't this new piece wonderfully mysterious? I never know for sure what will be arriving in the mail. Some of the metres run an entire gamut of colors. Others are more monochromatic, like this one. I can't wait to create something with this piece. I am immediately thinking of the sea..... Will keep you posted!
