When my 12 year old Grandangel, Sarah, (pictured above) saw my Vicki Welsh Color Challenge for April (a picture of Judy Laquidara’s Moldy Pie) she said, “Grandma, those colors make me think of a sunset over the ocean.” WOW – I could really SEE THIS! I love it when inspiration springs forth like this! 🙂

So I went searching in my stash – and Catherine let me search in her stash – and I created “SUNSET OVER THE SEA.” This will be my Alzheimer’s Art Quilt donation for April.

Great colors!!!
And the back of my quilt each month is the Sew Cal Gal’s FREE MOTION QUILTING CHALLENGE – this month it was a Don Linn Stencil of a flower. I learned to make a stencil – using tulle….. This was the first time that I had used the blue erasable marking pen and the blue washed right out of the fabric! I really loved learning how to do this. Thanks for the tulle, Catherine *even though I told her I needed toile! OH MY!

And VOILA – here is my flower……I am so happy with it, even though I am a total novice! I just may have to put flowers on EVERYTHING. LOL
