Last September I received notice that I had been selected to create a piece for “Seasonal Palette” a special SAQA exhibit which will debut at the International Quilt Festival/Houston in Nov. 2012, and then travel to several other venues. This special exhibit will showcase a series of 32 quilts hung side by side, depicting the seasons of the year. I had submitted a portfolio and requested to do my piece using a Winter theme. The show curators requested that I change my theme to Autumn as more than half the artists selected had requested winter. They also requested that I do it using the specific style and technique used in one of my portfolio pieces. The picture here shows a detail of the piece they want me to emulate. The participating artists were  asked to document their creative process in a sketchbook which will be displayed with the work. I also plan to record some of my steps along the way in this blog.
