When a flurry of activity on the theme of "dance" was dashed this spring, the disappointment was hard to overlook. Even the pieces I created suffered the news--and two of them sat around for months without titles.
But following a meeting with art coach Janet Tanquay of Art n' Soul, and Diane Evans, friend and fellow art quilter, the sparks of creativity and possibility were reignited. The three of us had a wonderful coffee break together where we discussed goals and incentives -- and WOW, what a shot in the arm toward enthusiasm. Coming away with a new game plan and sense of direction, I dusted off those spring creations with gusto. Once again feeling positive, my quilt just named itself:
"Blue Ribbon Caper"
will be heading off to the Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake in another week. Members of my art quilt group, ARTAA, will be doing demonstrations and displaying an array of recent works for the Adirondack Fabric & Fiber Arts Festival on September 25, 2010. Maybe you'll get a chance to visit.
Pat -- she came through beautifully! You did, indeed, finish her with a flourish, and she fairly springs from the background. What a talent you have, my friend.
