My goodness, when I chose the theme of "sweet" I had no clue how challenging it would be for me. To be honest though I have been rather busy with other things and have just, in the past few days, had time to really start thinking about "sweet".
I am happy to say that I have landed on an idea and I even have a rough sketch. Yay!
Sugar cane makes me think of sugar beets, another source of sugar (especially in europe where giant piles of beets at the edge of a field signified the end of the growing season and the onset of winter. Now there's also the stevia plant, which looks a bit like mint to me and whose leaves taste like lemonade when chewed along with a lemon balm leaf.
Sugar cane was the very first idea that popped into my head when the theme was announced. It fits right in with my Grass Series, and I even went to Far North Queensland (cane country)for further inspiration, but now I have other ideas...
Our new self-published book is now available on Amazon
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.
