These are two items I entered into our quilt show this past weekend in Manteca. The first is a tote/purse. I don't usually work with oriental fabrics, but I love RED. And I love this purse.

The second pic is a quilt I entered first in a challenge at a quilt shop in Ft. Bragg. The challenge was to choose a paint sample strip and then make a quilt using that color and adding only black and white. This was really fun. When I finally figured out I had chose Chartreuse and not green I was stumped and came up with a poem that I put onto the quilt using fabric ink.

What was I thinking when I chose Chartreuse?

I must have been thinking of the quick, easy, prize winning quilt I would produce.

So off to the quilt store for the right fabric was my excuse,

But finding just the right color was simply abuse.

So, What was I thinking when I chose Chartreuse?

Well, at least it wasn't Puce.

It's one of a kind. But aren't all our quilts "One of a Kind"
