Late last August my husband Steve and I went on a "Western Adventure" to explore Puebloan ruins in various National Parks and Monuments in the four-corners area. I blogged about it HERE. I took hundreds and hundreds of photos, including many details of textural architectural elements. Later, I had several printed on standard cotton by Spoonflower, a company specializing in this service. I intended to make two quilts, but only made one. (CLICK HERE to see Leaving the Pueblo.) Until yesterday, I did nothing with the cross-section tree and masonry images. Then, I got another email reminder about the upcoming SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) annual charity auction. It did not take me long to design a pleasing arrangement. Within two hours, I had the piece stitched. Before going to bed, I had the blanket stitch around the perimeter and the sleeve attached. This morning, I photographed the work, submitted the information, and received my confirmation email. This afternoon, it will go into the mail. Some things take a long time; this didn't. Perhaps this was because I so loved being on ancient grounds under wide open summer sky and surrounded by the aura of a wild landscape!
