Forgot to post the judge’s comments about my winning piece

 

I won first place!

Tonight was the opening for the recycle show. I won first place for my Raven piece. It is made from plastic bags. Basically it’s a plastic quilt because it’s quilted and hand stitched. It received a lot of attention.

Rethinking July’s quilt exhibit

I’m trying to come up with a cohesive group of 5 quilts for the small exhibit that I will have at a local art museum in July. I think I might show 5 grayscale quilts.
