Something Bright for a Snowy Day


The weather today is really cold, snow and windy. Hope it slows down so we can have a meeting tonight since there are only two before the quilt show. I think this may be the snowiest winter that we have had since I have lived in Michigan.

Every year at our guild's quilt show, we are given a challenge to take if one wishes. In 2007, this was my entry which I called Flying to the Fiesta. This year we are challenged to do an altered playing card and the one I drew was the 5 of hearts. Have an idea and fabrics gathered, but I have to get my act together and get it started. That should be a fun display - all of the pieces are to be 20 x 24 with rounded corners. (Click to enlarge)
Note: Just had a phone call from Kathy who has organized the challenge quilts for a long time and I had the wrong dimensions - the correct ones are 21 high x 15 wide. All of the others have been the larger size so glad she caught that!!
And, Kathy, your comment came through great!! Good for you!
