It's called Overflowing. After four years of working with the other twelves on this project and 24 small art quilts, I feel my life is overflowing with such an interesting variety of experiences, ideas, thoughts, inspirations, friends and creativity! Certainly worth celebrating, don't you think?
So I created this wonky jug and filled it with fun stuff and stacked a bunch of this-and-that around it.
That spider-webby ribbon is from my trip to NYC where Kristin and I shopped together at M&J Trim. Isn't it fantastic? That sheer bit with the orange dots was also from our shopping trip in the NYC garment district.
I couldn't resist letting the fish jump out of the jug.
But now that I look at Overflowing again and write about the ideas that were behind the process of making it, I like it! I hope you do too.

It's definitely a fun and whimsical piece. I think I would have felt the same as you in thinking there wasn't enough orange for the reveal, but it still would have worked.
Love it and I certainly share in the celebratory feeling!!
I love it! So outside the square!
I like all the different fabrics in this. Very exuberant.
The combination of the indigo and goldfish gives it a Japanese feel but it's unmistakably Deborah. I'll be checking champagne bottles for goldfish for a while!
I love that selvage in the corner!
This is great Deborah, it really looks fun and energetic, full of life.
Deborah, this is such a delight! That fish leaping out of the bottle is a wonderful image for overflowing joy and excitement, and your use of orange against the cool blue makes a very exciting palette. What a great use of your textured ribbon, too!
