I was just thinking about how we used to make those dandelion chains when we were kids. And that game where you hold a dandelion under your chin to see if it reflects yellow onto your chin, which supposedly means you like butter! Did we make this up or did other kids do this same thing? I was also remembering how you could pick a dandelion and split the stem lengthwise with you fingernail a few times. Then you'd put the split stem in your mouth and slowly draw it out between pursed lips and the stem would curl up. Yes, you certainly have me seeing dandelions and thinking about them!

About Twelve by Twelve
We are twelve quilt artists who embarked on an art challenge together. We're from different places throughout the world and our artistic styles vary, but we share a love of art quilting and a desire to play, experiment, learn, and grow.
For four years (2007-2011), we each made a 12x12 inch quilted art piece on a designated theme or palette. See our Theme Series and our Colorplay series.
For the 2012 Series, we changed things a bit and made rectangular pieces, 20x12 inches with roughly 10 weeks between each challenge. As before, we had a designated theme for each challenge.
We shared our process, progress, and results on this blog. It remains a key record of our rich collaboration.
