It's been very inspiring belonging to the Mountain Art Quilters group which meets monthly in Nevada City, CA. The group is more active than the Mt. Art Group that I was a member of in Asheville, both have really talented members.
One such difference is their 3 times a year "Challenge". The first 2025 one was unveiled April 23, 2025. Each member is required to participate annually in at least one of the three challenges which have rotating "prompts". The pieces are hung and discussed on the meeting's "Reveal" date....a real treat!
My two submissions were in the "All Creatures Great and Small category and 12" x 12". No need to show them here since I blogged about them earlier. Instead, I want to share the display from a mini group who all decided to focus on 12" x 12" vegetable pieces. They added a few of their own rules....a common green fabric and 3-D effect which added to the clever presentation of their work.
I had nearly forgotten about my own whimsy 3-d vegetable quilt made as a spoof for an invitational exhibit titled "Enchanted Gardens". My quilt "Here Come The Hybrids", traveled for 2 years in the exhibit. I can say now that I wasn't keen about some of fabric designs supplied by the manufacturer which we were required to use. Thus the seed packets along the outside borders were added to distract from it! This quilt was published in "The Stori of Bead Embellishment", pages 42 and also featured on the back cover, a Martingale Book publication. Given the recent downsizing, I'm now offering all my whimsy (often 3-D) wall art quilts for sale. This is a perfect choice for the gardener in you! Visit my online gallery for details or contact me.
