Here’s my entry for the annual SAQA Benefit Auction<\/a>.\u00a0 Every year, many of SAQA’s members donate 12 x 12 inch square quilts which are displayed online, and auctioned in September and October.\u00a0 The auction has a dual purpose – to increase the recognition of quilts as art and quilters as artists, and to raise funds to support SAQA\u2019s exhibitions, publications, and education outreach activities.<\/p>\n

You can see the quilts here<\/a>.\u00a0 Currently there are 4 pages of quilts.\u00a0 Keep checking back because many more will be added during the month of May.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago, I showed my sketch and some possible fabrics.\u00a0 I knew which fabrics I was going to use for the tree trunk and foliage, but I spent a lot of time auditioning fabrics for the background.\u00a0\u00a0 Once I finally made my fabric decisions, I assembled the background, and quilted it before adding the tree.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then I fused the tree trunk and foliage into the background, and did more quilting.\u00a0 I then spent a lot more time auditioning binding fabric.\u00a0 I’m thrilled with the end result.\u00a0 It’s called ‘Happy Purple Tree’.<\/p>\n
