Listen to your heart....

Life Book 2014 Week 10 led by Tamara Laporte.  We are to use a portrait cut from a magazine and incorporate it into a collage representing life connections.

Listen to Your Heart....

It's all about layering (just like photoshop!!!!)

draw, add texture, paint...whatever - I follow NO rules

more color added - can there ever be enough?!

Texas Quilt Museum

I've never been lucky enough to visit the Texas Quilt Museum in person.  I'm happy to have two of my quilts on display there now.  The museum looks glorious!

Gallery III: SAQA: People & Portraits

This exhibit celebrates the expressiveness of the human face in 40 stunning quilts created by members of the international organization Studio Art Quilt Associates. The diverse designs focus on a variety of emotional states and the ways in which people interact. The invitational exhibit is based on the book Art Quilt Portfolio: People and Portraits by Martha Sielman. Curated by Pat Kumicich.

"Should I?" is hanging on the balcony -  on the far right in this view.

I've Been Framed!

Now that I've completed the 40 Portrait Challenge, I thought it would be fun to frame and display these little gems in my home.

Crossing the finish line...

I am nearly done with the FB Gritty Jane 40 Portrait Challenge.  It's been a lot of fun, but honestly, I need to concentrate on other things.  The good and bad news - my sewing machine needs repair.  Luckily, I have a spare.  While I wait for my machine to come home, I can finish up with this challenge.


and now I present No. 40 
"Time to Celebrate!" - whew, glad's that's over :-)
