The 2018 SAQA Benefit Auction gets underway from 14 September to 17 October this year.

The 12" x 12" auction quilts are divided up into 3 sections and each week a different section will be available for bidding. The funds raised from the event go to support SAQA's exhibition and outreach program. You can view all the works at https://www.saqa.com/auction-quilts.php

Here is the piece that I submitted this year ....

I was delighted to receive an email from Martha Sielman, Executive Director of SAQA ... someone I hold in high regard for her terrific publications on Art Quilts... her message read....

"Thank you for your donation to SAQA’s 2018 Benefit Auction. What a beautiful landscape! I especially like how the road changes from a pieced start to a stitched version. Your trees are a really interesting effect. How did you print onto the piece fabric?"

....... made my day!

In case you are interested ... the trees are one of my photos printed onto silk organza and fused to the background.

Thanks for reading ... CC
