‘BREEZY’ Made by Liz Mandelkow
Created in Idaho
My entry for August, the pinwheel block and my focus color is yellow.
Focus Through the Prism Project Quilting Challenge.
I live in Idaho. An area that is high desert.
This month it has been hot, very dry, smokey from hundreds of fires all around us, and windy. Lately our local weather man has started to use the word "breezy" in his forecast. This makes me giggle. Cause I look out the window and the wind is stripping the flowers off my garden plants, the lawn furniture is tipped over, and the dog has to point his nose into the wind to do his business or he will tip over. So my pinwheel is "flying apart” to represent a day in our hot Idaho wind. The good part is it keeps me inside so I can sew and quilt!
I really had a hard time with my design this month. But things finally started to come together.
I tried a new quilting technique … pebble quilting. I like how it looks and can’t wait to try this on something larger.
I am working outside my comfort zone with off center designs and attempting a more modern look overall.
This has been a great challenge for me and I am learning as I go!
I am really loving the pebble quilting!!!
