Maine Made Art Quilts for the Earth, Mind and Spirit

"Autumn Aurora"
May, 2009

Autumn Aurora was created as part of a "mystery quilt" project with my local quilting guild. As I was making the quilt, I was thinking that I wouldn't dare put it on my bed with two elderly cats with attitudes. (Changing our sheets, blankets, and even pillows three times a week is not unheard of here.)

At the same time, our church board was trying to figure out how to get through the winter fuel bills and even more daunting (to me) stone foundation repairs on our historic church, with a very small membership to draw from. I put the two ideas together into, "raffle the quilt to benefit the church"!

Because of this,

YOU COULD BE THE OWNER OF THIS QUILT!

"The Wiggly Bridge"
30" x 35"
June 2004

This wall hanging was the result of a challenge by Art Quilts Maine. The theme was "Variations on the New York Beauty block" in memory of two members of A.Q.M.

The image was taken from a photo of the "wiggly bridge" (a suspension footbridge) in Ashoken, New York.

The quilt was all pieced except for couched "rope" railings and appliquéd fall leaves on the pond.

$450.00
