Quilt Challenge #1 Saturday Snapshot

Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Melinda at  West Coast Mommy Reads. To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky (at West Metro Mommy). Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.

Below are some pictures of a quilt challenge that I was a part of, last fall and winter. The premise is: quilter #1  receives a photo and she interprets that photo in a quilt.The rendition had to be 20X25, not substantially larger or smaller. Quilter #2 received the quilt from quilter #1 and she then interpreted a quilt from that. She did not get to see the original photo. This continued on , one at a time to quilter #5. It was interesting to see each small quilt and to see how each quilter picked an element or object from the preceding quilt to inspire her.

 This is a photo of our Wyoming state flower, the Indian Paintbrush.

 Quilter #1 's interpretation of the photo. The thread painting on this is amazing. The photo doesn't do it justice.

 Quilter #2 went with the native american actually using a paintbrush, painting hieroglyphics.

 Quilter #3 expanded to the landscape surrounding the hieroglyphs and the accompanying persons there.

 Quilter #4 zoomed in on a part of the landscape and she "saw" a small river in among the rocks.

Quilter #5 again zoomed in on the water and rocks and she "found" greenery and some flowers. Surprising that the 1st quilt was of a flower and the last also included flowers.

There were 4 groups of 5 quilters each. I will show the other groups on some other Saturdays this fall .

Until next time,
Stay Busy and Stay Happy
