More Butterfly Cloud pictures

 For some reason, all of the pictures did not post in my previous post. Hopefully, here they are.

Butterfly Cloud


There was an amazing event in my garden the other day.  I was going into the garden to pick black-eyed peas and found myself in the midst of a Butterfly Cloud.  Butterflies were everywhere!  I've never seen anything like it before.  I just stood there feeling taken in by the beauty of it. I did finally think to try to take some pictures. They fall far short of the real event but I did get some of the butterflies sitting on flowers. 

I think a quilt titled" Butterfly Cloud" just might be a result of this experience.

Making art for art's sake,

Quilt Extravaganza

Here are some photos of some silk/rayon fabric that I have just finished dyeing. The pieces are really luscious and I can hardly wait to do more of them and, of course, use them in a quilted piece. In the meantime, I will have these pieces for sale this weekend at Quilt Extravaganza in Berea.

Here is a link to for more information about the Quilt Extravaganza.http://www.bereaartscouncil.org/?p=1170

Hope to see y'all there!
