The second (of three) week of the Studio Art Quilt Associates online auction started today. I had some winning bids last week and the quilts have already arrived on my doorstep. They are very efficient with that. I made a list of all the quilts I might be interested in, but need to wait until the price goes down. They start out at $750 the first day and decrease to $100 on the last day. So, sometimes I lose out on a quilt I like a lot, but just don't have the funds these days. Look over the offerings, you could find something you love!
Then click on section two for this week's offerings. .
Here is an addition to the "Birds" section of TCQC.
"The Kotare" [Kingfisher] Marilyn Clark - New Zealand 2019 12"X 12"
Raw edge applique. Cotton fabric, batik and netting. Free motion quilting with a stationery machine. Aurifil cotton thread, cotton batting and canvas for stability.
I'm always open for flowers - we call this Mexican Bird of Paradise. Different techniques than anything in the Collection so far.
"A Little Pride of Barbados" Mary Ann Vaca-Lambert 2019 12" X 12"
Techniques: hand drawing and free motion quilting.
Materials: Inktense pencils, textile medium, cotton fabric, thread, and batting.
Materials: Inktense pencils, textile medium, cotton fabric, thread, and batting.
The picture on the auction page is a lot "mistier" than this one I took at home.
Again a different technique.
"Misty" Annette Boncek 2019 12"X 12"
Gelliprints, Inktense pencils pieced and appliqué, free motion and hand stitched
Batik fabric border, Black netting, interfacing
Such an original design. Love the hexie fabric in the upper right, under the bees. Nice hand embroidery with different colored threads.
"Buzz, Buzz, Buzz" Gillian Moss - California 2019
Machine pieced, hand embroidered and appliqued. Lots of cotton, linen and silk scraps and lots of looking at the piece, deciding what to do next!
I like to add quilts to the Collection that include different techniques. Someday I would like to do an exhibit that is just one long, horizontal line of 12" X12" quilts with placards explaining the different techniques used.

Lovely, lovely collection for 2019! I very much like your idea of an exhibit of 12" x 12" quilts explaining each one's techniques. Fun information. Take care and stay well.
