The auction will kick-off at 2pm EDT on September 16 with Diamond Day bidding - an early bird opportunity to purchase ANY quilt for $1000. Section one works go up for bid in a reverse auction from September 19 - 25. All the details are on the SAQA website.

River Dreams 

I've made an art quilt for this year's SAQA Benefit Auction.  I've named it River Dreams, as it is a distillation and continuation of the work I've been doing in my 52 Ways to Look at the River Project and in my ongoing series the River   It's 12" x 12", needlefelted with wool and silk, stitched and quilted, and hand beaded.  The texture on this piece is incredible; here's a detail shot of the tree:

 The SAQA (Studio Art Quilts Associates) Benefit Action Fundraiser  begins on September 16, and I will be sure to update you as it approaches.  I seldom make work in this format, so this is an unique opportunity to make my work a part of your collection!

The funds from the Auction go towards the exhibition program.  I am very, very grateful for the amazing journey The Organic Landscape has been on as part of the Seasonal Palette exhibit-it's currently in Taiwan!-- so I am happy to be able to contribute to the cause.

Just for fun, here's a GIF of River Dreams as a work in progress:
