We closed the Swamp Art Show on Sunday. One last chance to see our pieces hung at the venue. Carrie had some potential interest in a sale and I had some questions. But that is fine. I didn’t intend to make a sale.
QUILTS AND DOGS We are back in the house since the Aug 2016 flood. Dogs are great and I am back to doing the quilting thing. Join us on our new journey in a "new" house.

Wildfire as a Quilt Top
Thought I’d show you the finished quilt top. Since around my house this is considered “ finished” if you know what I mean........

Dec 26th And I Am Already Behind!
But would you expect any less of me? I have to complete entry for Quilt the Swamp 2015 due first week in January. Complete? Did I say? Ha ha! I need to totally make it!
(I am linking to Nina-Marie's Off the Wall Fridays) Click here to see what amazing stuff the others are doing!
She talks about consummating. Ohhhhh! Ya gotta go check her out! LOL.
So I actually started my Swamp piece today. I want to make an oil derrick. So here is my little derrick. I just love them, this will be my third. They are so structural, so black and white, so linear.
I need to find several good pictures of the Jack Horse Pumps so I can design one for the quilt as well. I have another idea that I want to do for the exhibit but may not get done. Time, time, time.
I wonder what the theme will be for next year? I wonder if I can make it early enough to actually do a good job on that piece? I wonder if I will get my butt in gear (since I will have that Roomba keeping the dogs entertained) and actually get it completed early for once?

Probably not.
I know me.

I am better now. Still, I have no voice.
Ok, I heard that, my hearing is still good......

Bluebonnet Swamp Exhibit
If you are interested in joining me in the Quilt The Swamp Exhibit at
our Bluebonnet Swamp I can take your quilts there to hang and send them
back to you when they come down.
I have had something in the Swamp (as we call it) forever. Our wonderful quilter/teacher/friend Michael Young is curating it once again. It was his original idea years ago and he has hung it through several illnesses; his own and his wife's. We are so glad to have the show go on and with him at the helm once again.
Here are some details about the show, it is not juried, nor is it judged. But many many people see it and the venue is perfect for quilt art. There is always someone in the building when the building is open, it is the visitor center for the Bluebonnet Swamp, which is actually wetlands in the middle of Baton Rouge that was developed into a educational area with a boardwalk through a real untouched Louisiana Swamp. In fact when Katrina and Gustav rolled through and did damage they did not clean it up. They left it totally natural.
So the theme is Metamorphosis and you can do anything on that line, pertaining to watershed, swamps, things in swamps, lowland areas, animals/fish/insects related to the areas......you name it. Some do art quilts, some do vessels, some do knitting/crochet art, dolls, fiber art, shapes. If you want to toss ideas around let me know.
Now, here are the details!
2015 - Quilt the Swamp (Jan. 12-Feb. 16) exhibition returns to the BREC Bluebonnet Nature Center. Michael Young as curator. The theme is Metamorphosis. Your commitment to Michael is due by Dec. 15th. The Entry Form and the art piece will be due on the January 6, 2015. Forms on the CFAL blogspot http://cfalart.blogspot.com/ Contact Michael at myoungbr@cox.net for more information.
