Just checked the PAQA-South website and found that my quilt Shiny Bubbles was accepted into a juried show titled: Art Quilts Images. Each entry had to use a photo in the work. I made this in 2003 and on a whim decided to enter it in the show. The photos of my grandchildren blowing bubbles in the back yard and our crazy JR, Maggie, jumping up and popping them were used to create this happy piece. I strip pieced fabrics with happy colors and circles to emphasize the bubble frenzy. I used metallic silk organza for the other bubbles.
I printed their body parts on fabric after I had done some photoshop manipulation. Milo’s outfit was painted with Tsukinko inks as were their shoes. I so enjoyed making this quilt and am glad it is going on tour!
Yesterday, we did not accomplish a lot. We had lunch at the former Chateau Sovereign winery with some good friends. It is now the new Francis Ford Cappola winery. Still a gorgeous place to be on a rainy day. Today we must do serious packing. I am almost finished with the Sonoma Wine Country Travel Poster. I am allowing myself a little time each day to make postcards or do some art.
congrats!! its a great piece…..

Congratulations Gerrie! I am so happy for you…a well-deserved acceptance!
Congrats Gerrie!!! You are such an inspiration…I’m so glad that I found you!!! Your quilt is wonderful…yet another in a slew!!!
We ate at Chateau Soverein years and years ago (perhaps just after it first opened) on one of our many “memory” trips back to where we first found eachother. It was a magical place then, and I’m glad to hear that it still is.
I’ts good to know that you are pacing your packing, and still saving time for your art. That is so important to our well-being!
Take care,
Judy
