You may remember from an earlier post I've been honored for a second year to help our elementary school's art department by tuning their original art into a quilt (
Fifth Grade Art Project ). Well, it's been stitched, quilted, bound, sleeved, labeled and is now ready to go on display!

| Think Friedensreich Hundertwasser would be very pleased! |
|
The students did a fantastic job capturing Hundertwasser's vision under the art direction of Mrs. Randi Gordon at Marlton Elementary School. Each child made a flower with paint sticks to keep with this year's art festival theme, "Fantasy Flowers."
Flowers lend themselves to bugs, so I took some liberties with the quilting and included a critter or two.

| A tiny spider's web and spider.... |
 |
| A butterfly looking for a good place to land... |
 |
| And a dragonfly near our daughter Sarah's flower. |
Given our Sarah's intense dislike for spiders, she requested a dragonfly near her flower. The spider and his web were banished to the other side of the quilt.
Sarah is going to be a demonstrator at the art festival this year, showing others how to create a gargoyle like hers! She is thrilled with this special honor and thankful for the opportunity! (Pictures will follow!)
