Cut Loose Quilters-Round Robin Book

In November of 2007, Jamie Fingal, quilt artist, the leader/host/instigator of the Cut Loose Quilters (CLQ) of Orange, CA http://cut-loose-quilters.blogspot.com/suggested that the CLQ do a Round Robin Book. She showed us a sample, suggested that we each choose our own theme and then each of us would do the back and front cover, inside and outside of our book and then pass the book to each artist who was participating for 2 pages and then pass-it-on! WHEW! She very kindly provided a printed roster with names, addresses and birthdates which promptly got buried on my desk, but we started in December 2007. Jamie and Stacy created the cardboard, ring bound blank books, and filled them with blank pages for us to use. It took us all of 2008, some finished on time, some are still working, but I wanted to share my book, with other-artist/friends pages here. Here is the front cover....the theme "What If"

Joanell got my book first. Here is one of her pages...what if, as you see here. Joanell's work can be seen at http://www.joanell.com/

Next came Cindy...a cat person/artist! Cindy's work can be seen at http://www.cindycooksey.com/

Ann's turn. Ann is an artist, special ed teacher and a quilt appraiser among her many talents. Her "what if" is reminiscent of The Beatles....Ann is also the founder of Fiber Arts Connection of Southern California...see the website here http://www.fiberartsconnsocal.org/

Next was Julie...a very creative lady with a bit of the Pacific in her....I love the cool edging here. See one of her art quilts here. http://www.quiltsonthewall.com/quiltArtists/schlueterNew02.html

Then there is Jamie's page, a wonderful garden singing in the rain. Jamie's work can be seen at http://www.jamiefingal.com/Then Stacy who grew contemplative about God and Nature. See Stacy's work at http://corvus93.blogspot.com/Terry is a junior high English teacher who brings a high level of creativity to her teaching and of course her beautiful quilts. Her work is at http://www.terrywaldron.com/Here is the outside back cover, mine. I kidnapped the elephant, having found him on a thrift store treasure. My photos don't do justice to the great colors and creative expression included in the book, but you get the idea! I can't wait to do another one! What do you think CLQ's?
