Next is a piece I have been working on for a looming September show. Finished cutting out the piece from $50 ultra suede (and yes my choice of fabric was also criticized) and now going to quilt the red, white and blue backing. This is my first "hybrid" quilt so I will now work on it at home. No more negativity or quilt police allowed. So there. You will be among the first to see what I make and you can like it or not. After all it is going into an art gallery and my rules since I call it an art quilt! Sometimes I just want to have fun.
