Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	Thanks folks. Renata I am very pleased to know that I am doing something right! It came from a series of drawings that I did one day when I was bored. I liked that one because I found it pleasing to my eye so decided to try to make it into a wall hanging. I didn't realize how much negative space I was leaving to have to quilt though.

That is beautiful, Rita! It catches my eye for the elements and principles of design, it really jumps out and grabs me! I can hear it whispering, "Fairfax, Fairfax County... I've always wanted to come to Fairfax..." ... and I'm pretty certain there's no "Fairfax, Ireland!"

Wonderful quilt--many will enjoy it at the show!

I've just been reading one of Elizabeth Barton's books on art quilt design, and in it she speaks to slicing a quilt diagonally, sometimes even slicing it a few times to give it movement. Your quilt does just that--the diagonal slice in your quilt gives movement to it in an an exciting way. Well done!

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	This is my entry for FoQ. I am putting it here so as not to hijack Jacqueline deJonge's thread. It's a wall hanging and is going in under the contemporary quilt section. Getting excited about FoQ now.

If anyone can recommend any restaurants that are accessible for those without transport I would be grateful.
