Stash and Feed Sacks

If you are the creative type you know all about stash. For some it is a closet of fabric, every color of DMC floss, trays of pastels, or stacks of paper. Whatever it takes to create your particular art. Combine that with growing up during the depression and you have Betty.

We keep the stash even knowing that we have more than we will ever use. So what happens when you die and all that wonderful stuff is left behind. If you are lucky like Betty, you have family that understands about passing along your treasures. This is how the members of Boulder Loose Threads came upon one of our challenges.

Four Sunflower Feed sacks, 4 artists, 1 challenge. The result is 4 quilts related but very different. Here we get a peek at two quilts.

A larger than life chicken by Liz.

A more traditional pieced design with a tread painted center by Barb.

The quilts from this challenge will be part of the BLT show at The Bead Lounge during the month of March 2010.
