Creativity,
incongruity and humor, remember the connection? When the word quote was
presented, as usual, I couldn’t wait to see which of the four nouns would be
the most prevalent in the quilts. I must tell on myself. I was hoping to see
someone take “quote” outside the box and not just do a quote, but do a quilt
about quoting. Instead, the fifteen panels beautifully and creatively and with
a touch of humor do a gorgeous job of illustrating each chosen quote.
Row one: I
thought the colors, the style of the panels and the humor just seemed to go
together. HHHMMM Tee Hee, Jane and Teresa, a little too much wine, and it all
may look like, “a little ray of pitch black.”
Row
two: Art is an image of an experience
but it is also an experience unto itself. Thus, look carefully at row two and
you will become involved in what the quilters are feeling. Better yet, read a
good book, listen to good music, perceive/receive.
Row three:
Quite often I will see images so thoughtful that demand to go together, and
they will be the first row created, such as the three in this row. Then I will
block in the remainder of the composite. Therefore, my reasoning is simple; how can the
three quilts fit anywhere else?
Row
four: Dorothy had no idea where she was
going, nor did Yogi, so why not play in the rain on the way. Why not indeed!
Row five:
The patterns in the quilts attracted me to this row: trees, leaves and the
brilliant colors in Carolyn’s quilt.
Another
round of JOB WELL DONE to you all.
