My Graffiti quilt is finished. I called it “The Writing is on the Wall”. I fused all the graffiti elements to the background, then quilted the whole thing with a brick pattern. I’ve entered it in the SAQA Text Messages exhibit, and I’ll find out in March if it’s accepted.
Last night I did a trunk show presentation for the Textile Arts Guild of Richmond (TAGOR). I showed them more than 40 quilts. They just barely fit into the two travel bins.
Inbox surprise – Look what I found in my Inbox this morning – those are my coffee cups in the top photo!
On my design wall – The umbrella people are back. They first appeared last October when I was in Houston, then again in January as an entry to Cloth Paper Scissors. 
I’m still fascinated with them, so they are going to be the subject of two more quilts – this time in a city scene, with perspective. The first is a 12 x 12 inch quilt for the SAQA 2013 Auction. Here’s my sketch, and the cut-out but not-yet-fused fabrics.
The second is for the Fibre Art Network exhibit FibreScapes exhibit, which will debut in conjunction with Quilt Canada show in Penticton BC in May. This exhibit requires that all submissions measure 17 x 26 inches. I plan to use similar colors in this one.
As always, I’m linking up with these blogs for WiP Wednesday. Click on the buttons below to see all the people participating and check out their projects.
Your graffiti quilt is amazing, and I hope it gets accepted! Love the umbrella people!
Just love your umbrella people and the colors and the scene you choose for the background! Congrats on your coffee cups!
Busy person! Your coffee cups — ah! You are in great company in QA with Kate Themel and so many other wonderful artists. Congratulations. And I love those umbrellas…and the people holding them. Your work is an inspiration!
I absolutely love the umbrella people! Just love those pops of color.
I get that Quilting Arts email too and I remember saying to myself this morning, “those coffee cups are gorgeous!”. How funny that I should stumble over to your blog from Freshly Pieced tonight!
I love the umbrella quilt you’ve laid out!
An exciting and very productive week. I’m always impressed with all you create.
I, too love those umbrella people – just so very “wet Coast” iconic! I like how you are doing a series using them – great idea. Grafitti is very cool – good luck in getting accepted
