Night of 100 Stars

1117_0alex_1st_star.jpg

This is the first quilt of Alex´s that made it into a book.  It is in that wonderful book by Diana McClun and Laura Nownes, "Quilts, Quilts, Quilts".  This is the start of why Alex is known for Stars.  Tomorrow you will see more stars.  It was a pivotal moment in Alex´s quilting.  Alex was struggling to be called an "art quilter".  There was a unspoken war going on between traditional and art quilting.  After doing this quilt, Alex realized that you have to do what makes your heart sing.  Do you feel you are labeled or are you open to the entire quilting experience? 

This quilt was hand quilted.  Watch for the corner turn Alex makes.  Remember to learn how to hand quilt and draw quilting patterns in Alex´s Classroom.

By the way, you need to hide the camera once the cat realizes it can take a self-portrait at arms length.
