| Description of Item |
14,471 - More Sunshine
JoAnn Stowell Width: 8.5" Length: 11.5" Materials/Techniques: I have a huge scrap basket with a lid so no one sees into it. I just can't get rid of those pretty fabrics. I did the sunflower on a white background and then used Inktense pencils to color it. It is raw edge appliquéd and I used a lot of copper metallic threads. It is thread signed.
Artist Statement: The sunflower quilt was the first little quilt that I did for AAQI. I painted that one so decided I would appliqué this one. I plant seeds every year and the birds replant them. I wonder where they will come up this year? Dedication: To my mother who had Alzheimer's and to my friends Barbara and Ele, they are such great caregivers. This quilt has Fast Finish Triangles. Auction ends on August 10, 2013 at 10 p.m. (22:00 military time) Central Standard Time. Winners will be notified by email with payment instructions when the auction is over. Payment (Visa or MasterCard) is due by August 15th. Winners pay shipping via Priority Mail, plus insurance and 6% sales tax (MI residents only). Please read descriptions carefully. Note quilt size.
