Party Lights!
Party Lights I’ve never made a quilt about the night. I do love seeing the stars in a dark sky, but that’s usually in the early morning, when I’m going out to get the newspaper. Most of the time, when it’s night, I am safely inside! I became
Sleep Eludes Me
I spend a lot of the night staring at my digital clock so I created a Thermofax screen with the times that I see ranging from midnight through to dawn. I painted fabric with a rough gradation of black to a silvery white, printed the times and then cut it all up into

Nighttime – Dreamtime
Detail of “Lunar Eclipse”, 2009 During the night, we usually sleep, more or less well. I’m a fairly good sleeper, but often wake in the early morning hours, and then go back to a second sleep. That usually is the time when I dream in a way that

Some of our earlier prompts have been transformed into cloth within days. Others have inspired nothing for the longest time until a last minute revelation and some frantic stitching have produced a quilt. But this one falls in the middle. There are so many ways that you could interpret
Night! Yikes!
We’re going to the dark side with this prompt! It seems like our options are wide open with this one. We could really do any subject matter, as long as it’s in the night time. I’m planning a landscape. I’ve never done a nighttime scene, so I’m enjoying this challenge.
