My word for the year is "Focus", and it appears that it is working! I have finished my quilt for the "Urban Graffiti" exhibit that will debut at Road to California in January 2016. This is an exhibit put together by Quilts on the Wall in Seal Beach, CA, of which David and I are members. (David is nearing the home stretch on his.)
I have also just finished my entry for Southern California regional SAQA's "Oasis" upcoming exhibit. It will debut at the Palm Springs Mancusco show in early October and travel onto PIQF in mid-October 2015. Jamie Fingal and Leslie Tucker Jenison will juror the show. If you are familiar with Jamie and Leslie's Dinner at Eight group you know that they will be excellent jurors.
Yesterday I spent the morning in a local Starbucks (we have a bunch in Temecula) stitching on the sleeve so it can be hung. It was a rainy, cold day and it was perfect for sitting, stitching, and sipping on a Flat White. All I have to do is put the label on it and I can call this quilt done!

I have been working on some thumbnail sketches and have a pretty good idea of the direction I will be going. My next decision is whether I will be working on a light or dark background for my base. I have selected fabrics for each option, so I will be testing out the look on some small pieces to see which I prefer.
