Well.. Hubby helped me load up my new Avatar! This is the quilt "Colours of St. Lucia" which was stolen from the USPS in Loveland, CO. It had been juried into a summer exhibition at the Lincoln Gallery in Ft. Collins - 2001. Never got it back, but at least I have loads of photos (professional for the book Strips 'n Curves) and a ribbon from the Arizona Guild Quilt Show. Even have some memorable scraps! My husband and I sailed around the islands of St. Lucia and Martinique for 10 days in 1997 and this quilt is all about our fabulous experience... snorkeling, etc. You can't see the details, but there's a lot of manipulated fabric, thread painting, applique and even 6 REAL starfish... very tiny but real. They are hiding in the coral made with Bridal Tulle.
