Dandelion Dreams

This challenge was fun!  The Lime was easy, but I couldn't think of a color that began with "D" other than  "dark" something. So I got out the large box of Crayola crayons that I keep for the grandkids and found my answer...Dandelion!


I've had dreams on my mind while working on my show quilts for next year, and that theme carried over to this project.  In fact, it spawned both a quilt and a poem of sorts.

Dandelion Dreams

Under the night sky
Above leaves of  lime,
As dandelion pearls float on the wings of a breeze;
I caught a dream and made it fly.

"Dandelion Dreams"  is a painted Wholecloth quilt, using  Liquitex Professional Artist's inks. There are two layers of Quilters Dream batting...Wool over Puff, and it is quilted with Wonderfil Invisafil threads.

More photos can be found on my blog.
