Throw Back Thursday: Solar Wind Roses

I love this quilt, 'Solar Wind Roses', by Janet Cook of Great Britain. The varied shades of deep blues and purples are what first caught my attention.

The various 'roses' in their orange and yellow tones are awesome. I would be interested to see the process she used in creating them.

This quilt was part of the Made in Britain exhibit from the World Quilt & Textile international show 1997, that took place in Pasadena, California.

Did You Hear The News!

Hey, did you here the news? Quiltcon is going to start happening EVERY YEAR! And to top that off, they are going to alternate between West coast and East coast. On even years they will be on the West coast and on odd numbered years they will be on the East coast.

And guess where next year's Quiltcon is going to be? Pasadena, California! Boo-ya!

They already have instructors like Angela Walters, Alison Glass and Carolyn Friedlander lined up, with many more being added.

Go ahead and mark your calenders for February 18-22, 2016.(That's a Thursday through Monday, in case you were wondering). Registration will be opening this summer.

As Pasadena is only about three hours away from me, I definitely plan on being there.
