Last year a friend of mine, Maude Haeger, participated in a challenge. The made a beautiful little quilt that was exhibited in about a dozen different locations across the US. All the little quilts were then put on Ebay to raise money for the organization that started the challenge. I couldn't bid myself, because the seller had specified 'US and Canada only'. But you can do a lot with a little determination. Another US friend bid for me. We had a very exciting and nail-biting time watching the auction, and I'm over that moon that the price did not go too high.
By now 'Casa del Sol' has arrived in the cold, wet, and dark UK. It's a wonderful ray of sunshine in my life and radiates positive vibes. The pieces and beading is exquisite, and the 3-D face is so quirky, you just want to kiss it.
So, this is my Christmas present to myself. Thank you Maude and Carolyn for making it possible!
