Today, I went to the quilt show in La Connor sponsored by the La Connor Quilt & Textile Museum. Awards winning quilts from around the globe were shown including a quilt from the "100 Greatest Quilts" book. One of my quilts, Flowers in Yellowstone was displayed in the main building, albeit in a back hallway that you would only go through if you were going to the classroom through the back way. Oh well...
I was able to see a myriad of techniques and took many photos of the quilting work, thread painting and direct painting as well as three-dimensional embellishment.
I did not purchase anything for new projects because it occurred to me this morning that, given a new technique a day, there exists the possibility that I will end the month with close to thirty unfinished projects! This right after I copiously entered all of my UFOs into an Excel spreadsheet and winnowed it down to only six projects.
Tomorrow I am on to my next exercise. Tonight I'm going to spend some time playing with the Circle Play quilt I began yesterday in class.
