Fun news!

My quilt, "Of The Moment" is being featured over at Generation Q Magazine for their Saturday Feature. Are you familiar with them? Generation Q Magazine is the brain child of Jake Finch, Melissa Thompson Maher, Megan Dougherty and Scott Hansen. They're this great blogzine (also resource/community) for modern and contemporary quilters - if you don't know about them you should totally check them out. :) They have great articles of all kinds and fun giveaways too!

So, for those of you who haven't already seen this, welcome to my blog! I'm delighted to have you here. :)

When I conceived of this quilt, I remember thinking "I want to make a contemporary quilt - you know, something that's of the moment". And as I put these silks together in this particular configuration, I wondered whether this quilt was not only of the moment, but whether its design would stand the test of time.

That was in mid 2010 - about a year ago (my hostas look the same, but bigger) and I still love this quilt just as much as I did then - but a year is too soon to see whether it's time tested or not. :)

The back won't wear as well I don't think - all things "wonky" were all the rage at the time I designed the quilt, so I decided to wonk it a bit - I wouldn't make that decision again.

However, the quilt was very much of that moment in time, so it was well named in any case. :) Hope you like it too! And if you'd like to see my original post about it where I talk more about how it came to be it's here: http://kitlangfiberart.blogspot.com/2010/10/welcome-to-diva-quilts.html

I still love this quilt a year on - such a well balanced contemporary abstract with luscious colours. The wonky element works for me;)
