Folly Beach is a favorite source of inspiration for me. It is a barrier island and known as "The Edge of America," which inspired the name "On the Edge Studio." I enjoy working with 3 different themes- Traditional, Nature, and Mixed Media. This blog is a way to show my quilts and share some of their stories with family and friends.

Sunrise/ Sunset

A group I am in, Professional Textile Artists, had a challenge called Sunrise/Sunset.  The rules were pretty simple- we needed to incorporate a black fabric with the design, colors or quilting expressing the theme.   Nine of us made challenge pieces, eight were available to be submitted to American Quilters Society for the "Ultimate Guild Challenge".  We were juried in to the 2011 AQS Quilt Show & Contest in Knoxville and won at 3rd place.
                                            
     Below is a picture of the 8 quilts on exhibit.

                                     

    So many of us decided to drive to Knoxville and attend the show.

                                    

     Here we are in front of some of our quilts on exhibit.

                                   

    This is my piece, "Sunset Cruise."
