I saw a photo of a red beet along with a yellow one, and I was really struck by the color combination. So, I started dyeing fabrics with this color palette in mind and I'm quite happy with the results.
As you can see, the yellow could quickly take over, so I plan to use it in small amounts. I've already started playing around with these, constructing units with wonky circles.
I'm definitely having fun! You can see more progress on my blog.
50% Off York Wall
This month I'm offering York Wall at half price. This piece was inspired by low evening light on a medieval wall in York, England. I just love the way the stones glowed in the golden light.
Back when the pandemic first started I was suffering from boredom and I created a video showcasing all the quilts hanging in my home. If you haven't already seen it, you might enjoy viewing it here.

What's New
Now that the pandemic is getting under control it sure is great to have museums opening back up. And, it's even better to travel to see them!
I got to do so recently, along with a car load of art quilters, and boy did we have fun! Our primary destination was the Leepa-Rattner museum in Tarpon Springs, FL. It's hosting a SAQA-Florida exhibit called "Floridian Flavors." It's quite a good exhibit, in a large and pleasant space. I hope you get to see this, or some other, art exhibit soon, too!
