Dandelion Dreams

Today is the reveal of our latest Fiberactions color challenge. This time we were to use 3 colors; black and 2 others. One that begins with the first letter of our first name and one that begins with the first letter of our last name. The Lime was easy, but I couldn't think of one that began with "D" other than  "dark" something. So I got out the large box of Crayola crayons that I keep for the grandkids and found my answer...Dandelion!

I've had dreams on my mind while working on my show quilts for next year, and that theme carried over to this project.  In fact, it spawned both a quilt and a poem of sorts.

Dandelion Dreams

Under the night sky

Above leaves of  lime,

As dandelion pearls float on the wings of a breeze;

I caught a dream and made it fly.



"Dandelion Dreams"  is a painted Wholecloth quilt, using  Liquitex Professional Artist's inks. There are two layers of Quilters Dream batting...Wool over Puff, and it is quilted with Wonderfil Invisafil threads. The color is accurate in the first photo...the close-ups  look washed out because I forgot to turn off the overhead lights when I took them.



And a look at the back



Looks like Bouree approves!



Now head over to the Fiberactions blog to see the wonderful pieces from the other artists.
