Cloth paper scissors magazine had a reader challenge in the Winter 2005 issue. Entitled "do with me what you will" a drawing by the very colourful Violette. I started working on it and missed the January deadline. Around the same time the Twisted Stitchers Guild announced a challenge to be based on a song title. Ok, I could shift gears & use the same piece. The Summer 2006 issue of cps has wonderful examples of how artists took the drawing & flew with it. There are eight more interpretations on the quilting arts website done by students. I think they will appreciate the great art teachers they have as they grown & create. It is a great lesson to learn to articulate about ones own creativity.
I was unable to make the meeting for the song challenge. This piece IS going to be in a challenge even if I make it up myself!! so here it is.......
Guess the song title depicted by my quilt...... I will send the winner 6 fat quarters of fabric. If there is no winner by next week I will give ya a hint!!
And yes it is not finished, needs to be sandwiched & quilted. Hey this is MY contest!! My rules !!
The leaves of the tree are made by using the gleanings from a scarf I made earlier- see Mar 21/06 entry.
Hmm, this is a tough challenge, but a really cool quilt!
ReplyDeleteI thought and thought and thought myself silly.....now I can't think of any sound that your quilt reminds me of....
Good luck to all -- Jessica in Oregon

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt. The only song that came to mind is "24 blackbirds baked in a pie" but I'm sure that's not it.

Nice quilt! I saw the "Do With Me What You Will" results in CPS, too bad you missed the deadline.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what song it would be.
