"No one would want this top unless they knew one of the children," said my friend when she gave me this thrift store top. I took that as a challenge to transform it into something visually interesting. I took in a few crooked seams to make the top more square and headed for my stash--what fun I had. Wish I had more of the side border fabric, but that was it!
Yesterday was the deadline to turn in our quilts for the April show here in Northwest Arkansas and I have been overwhelmed by finishing the hand quilting on my "Spectator Pumps: Versatile and Spectacular". (You can see this quilt as a top behind me in my profile photo.)

Playing with this orange dominated top released a burst of creative energy. I am now working on completing various tops to be include in our special exhibit, "When This You See, Remember Us." I am putting together a group of album quilts, signature quilts, t-shirt quilts, memory quilts and reproduction quilts. Some of the quilts are borrowed from other guild members and many are from my own collection. Our show is April 8 & 9 at the new Bentonville Fair Grounds located in the northwest corner of Arkansas. Y'all come if you can!
