SAQA Annual Auction - My Dream Collection

It's that time of year for the Studio Art Quilt Associates' (SAQA) benefit auction!  This is an auction of art quilts made by SAQA members that are 12" x 12" in size.  

As part of the auction, viewers of the quilts can create their own Dream Collection (favorites or selections based on a theme of interest).  If you would like to create one, go to the website below, look through the art quilts while recording the titles of those you like best along with the artist.  There is a form to complete, and you'll need the title to search for your selections.  In a few cases, the artist name may be helpful, since multiple pieces can have the same or similar name.

Bidding for the quilts begins September 13th and runs through October 6th, and there will be more than 440 art quilts to choose from.  More information is available at the link below.

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
