With glowing shades of oranges and golds, the autumn leaves seen through the windows, set the tone for the brilliantly colorful exhibition of quilt art and paintings that opened on November 2. A focal point was the collection of pieces called “Books: Windows to the World”. Jumping out was the exciting African quilt complete with beadwork, fabrics and animal images that depicted the feel of Adventure. Working on this one was tremendously fun and the fabrics plus embellishments seemed to collect and arrange themselves. I think I heard the distant sound of African Drums as I worked on it and would love to do a whole series of these pieces. Does anyone have some African music for inspiration?
