Honorable Mention Award, Quilt Alliance Crazy for Quilts Contest
Materials:
Cotton fabric, machine pieced and quilted, muslin batting, jonestones metallic paint and a pin from “California Milk”. Decorative stitching done on a Bernina. Design from strip piecing technique with appliqued flowers.
Artist’s Statement:
Sometimes life just seems to be overwhelming. Being pulled in so many different directions by family, friends, pets, jobs, autos and household appliances that keep breaking down, yard work, etc. can all leave little time for entering a quilt contest! But, I managed to get one done and realized that it gave to me a little bit of rest and complete satisfaction and I realized the importance of taking a break from daily challenges.
