More snow? Really? Wind? Really? Have you ever finished a quilt and you just can't get any pictures because of the weather? Could someone turn off the wind machine in western Kansas, please?
The challenge for Project Quilting is a finish, but I have struggled to photograph this one. Maybe it's an armature photographer block or THE WEATHER....

Project QUILTING, Season 4, Challenge 5–Print Publications
Made by Carla in Dodge City, Kansas

Size: 24" x 29"
Choosing a publication was easy for me. I have a stack of trade magazines for work that I have neglected lately. As a hair stylist, inspiration is a constant need. I never want to become stagnant in my work or in quilting. I loved combining two of my passions into one project.
Some of the techniques I tried on Shine were thread painting, thread painting words, applique, free motion quilting, pieced binding, and beading.

I'm blowing away with you! The wind here in Barranquilla blows from November thru March and I literally can't open the windows!
awesome representation of the inspiration page
Hi - this is my first visit (through Crazymomquilts) and what a an amazing art quilt as a first impression! The "hair" quilting is amazing. It really is a piece of art - I love the energy and flow - very cool. I definitely will be checking in on future posts to see what other amazing things you post.
