Of course, they all need a hanging sleeve, and three need binding. I have some smaller pieces from my Fiber group that I can show, which will solve any time crunch problems I might have. See, I am already anticipating problems!
Two years ago, I won Viewer's Choice with my Ellies in this show. I am not expecting a repeat performance though. Nothing is as WOW as that was. I think it may have been my life's WOW!!
In addition to that, I think I may have decided on the pattern for the Modern Guild Challenge that will be displayed at the Baton Rouge Gallery. It has been hard. I really don't like the fabric that the challenge centers on. I don't think it is Modern.

I went to Office Depot to get the necessary copies made for the paperpiecing. This quilt will be interesting to put together, I have never used this technique before. But, I am all up for new stuff.
So what do you think? It is very beige-y and leafy.
Sigh........I am already missing Dino........He was like my best friend.
Carol of Quilted Fabric Art (go check out her osprey and cardinal) sent me a picture she created of a fish skeleton that says: Serial Fish Killer!
About a third of my post disappeared into thin air. And it was inspiring. So I am sorry I can't reconstruct it!
Off to walk the dogs........I took an allergy pill a bit ago, and it is making me sleepy. (Which is probably what happened to my missing post stuff!)
I'll bet a hawk got the poor little dude - life can be cruel
ReplyDeleteI like that leafy fabric . Remember those off the edge quilts I did last year? That fabric would be perfect for that. Probably not modern but that what I thought of. Looking forward to seeing what you will do .
The fabric may not be truly modern but the quilt you design will be!
ReplyDeleteI love Ellie's. BEAUTIFUL.
ReplyDeleteSorry you lost half your post. I could use some inspiring words today! I wouldn't call that fabric modern either, but if you put it with some high contrast fabrics with the right block and I think you could push it into modern. I had a challenge I participated in one time and the fabric was ugly so I dyed it.
ReplyDeleteThe elephants really are wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe part of the challenge is finding the modern in this fabric. :-) If anyone can do it, I'm betting on you. Sorry about Dino; it's always tough losing a good friend. Those Ellies! It's no wonder you won best of show, but I seriously doubt you have only one WOW! in you. Honestly, don't you think you can push out another? It would be a fabulous surprise, maybe, but that's part of the WOW!
