Karen Schreuder of Bellingham, WA, made this entry for the Association of Northwest Quilters' traveling exhibit: Spice of Life. She titles it: Creativity Spice and comments, "Any aspect of life can be spiced up with a little creativity."I like the simple, basic, flying birds pieced pattern in shades of browns and golds. As you can see she spiced it up with ink stamp, graphic and just enough embellishment to change the focus and meaning of the quiet little original quilt.
This quilt and 49 other imaginative and diverse quilts representing the 'Spice of Life' can be seen at the site or requested for a slide show at your own group. You might want to check out what is happening in quilts in the Northwest.
If you venture toward Seattle, Washington, maybe you will want to time the trip to coincide with the Pacific Northwest Quiltfest 2008. On the website they state:
Since August of 1994, every two years Seattle is host to the Pacific Northwest Quiltfest, a biennial juried and judged international competition among quiltmakers of Alaska, Alberta, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Northwest Territories, Oregon, Washington and Yukon. The quilt show takes thousands of man hours, hundreds of volunteers and showcases over 300 of the finest quilts in the Pacific Northwest region.
This year the event will take place from August 8-10.
