On October 19th Visions Art Museum in San Diego held their annual Sip, Savor, Stroll fund raising event. This time with the addition of Chocolate. Along with raffle baskets, music, munchies and seeing old friends there were small quilts offered in a silent auction. This one by Kay Laboda is outstanding, I think. And very different than any work of hers I have seen.
"Charlie, The Sweet Chocolate Lab" Kay Laboda - San Diego, CA 2013 16.75"W x 20"L
Charlie's eyes are white, but making the dark dark also darkened the whites of his eyes.

Kay has used fuding with machine edge stitching.
He is wearing a Charlie tag on his collar.
The background is quilted with swirls and hooks.
Great chocolate fabric on the back - although I looked at about a thousand chocolate fabrics I never saw this one. The chocolates are very reaslistic.
Oops! Kay forgot to put a contact on her label! Fortunately, I have it in my e-addresses. But it isn't always easy to find an artist, if there is a website it should always include contact information.
