Your idea of transferring onto ExtravOrganza is great, and the way you incorporated some IKEA fabric into your piece was terrific. We have an IKEA about 90 minutes away from where I live... its one of my favorite destinations :-) Delightful quilt !Kathy Hartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439720411059490863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-54010121675611750842012-05-16T20:08:53.768-04:002012-05-16T20:08:53.768-04:00Even though MYSTERY was hard for you, you mastered...Even though MYSTERY was hard for you, you mastered it beautifully.

I also relate to missing trees - whether the memory is favorable or not. There's so much I enjoy about this quilt, especially how the eye is drawn to examine parts to perceive the whole.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13873703819530569975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-75264349092918209672012-05-15T18:26:19.003-04:002012-05-15T18:26:19.003-04:00I love grids, which is why I think the 9-patch is ...I love grids, which is why I think the 9-patch is the perfect traditional quilt block. Each one of your grid sections is so satisfying to look at and I really enjoyed reading the "back story".

I'm investigating the water color crayons and the ExtravOrganza. It is so much fun to be inspired by other Material Mavens. I echo Sara's interpretation of the bird and the missing tree. Even if you don't miss it, the bird does!

The bird seems to be pondering the mystery of "where did that tree go!".Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04236884861296764244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-3519854825149438182012-05-15T13:15:08.312-04:002012-05-15T13:15:08.312-04:00Babara,

I have a hard time leaving white space and you make such wonderful use of it.<br />I will have to investigate ExtravOrganza. I haven't seen it yet. <br /><br />This is so much fun learning about the different materials and paints out there that I haven't had a chance to see yet. It is really nice to see how use them in a quilt.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368515552194912257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-85032400889246027212012-05-15T13:03:34.393-04:002012-05-15T13:03:34.393-04:00What wonderful quilts this challenging theme has p...What wonderful quilts this challenging theme has produced! How serendipitous that you had that conversation with your daughter, too. I loved looking at this quilt, each thing in each part of the grid, linking each one to your narrative. And I have YOU to thank, too, Barbara, for inspiring me, in both my Surprise and my Mystery quilt, to use embroidery stitches as embellishments or even as quilting. Remember, our visit in California, when you brought me an assortment of your quilts? I recall how wonderful I thought those were that used hand embroidery. So this quilt evokes happy memories from me as well as great admiration for your vision and how you interpreted it.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-77320739341497103762012-05-15T13:03:26.945-04:002012-05-15T13:03:26.945-04:00Grids are great.

Good to see that wrapped chain stitch in action. My machine has something similar and now I have it in context. I love embroidery in quilts. Good going. I miss some of my trees as well!Linda Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622069411237073813noreply@blogger.com
