The Color Bars class was a success, if enthusiasm can be the measurement. We had such a good time I forgot to take pictures, but here is one that Linda Flanders sent after she completed a piece using the different exercises we did in the class. She is calling it a Sampler since it displays a sampling of free-form techniques.

What a thrill it was to see 58 of Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry's quilts at the Reception of her
40 Years of Color, Light, and Motion exhibit at the Museum at Ole Miss in Oxford. The exhibit runs through April 16. If you don't get to see it in person, Caryl has provided a link, click

She had her first quilt (very traditional) she made 40 years ago on display and showed her progression into quilts as fine art. I picked up Rita Warnock in Madison on the way to Oxford--much more enjoyable than driving alone.

Then I spent the night in her home (under one of her masterpiece quilts!) before the SAQA pod meeting on Saturday. We had the "reveal" of the Ag Museum pieces that five of us had been working on. Sections 3 and 4 are still in progress, but we got an idea of how they will look presented together.

The pieces are 36" high and 24"-30" wide and are finished with facings. The photo behind Julia shows the entire scene that these five pieces depict.
