Ikea Project Patchwork part 1

On September 2nd I stood in line at the Textile Center for a chance to be one of 50 fiber artists who get to make a quilt to be donated to Ikea for funding of the Textile Mobile, art in schools and summer cam programs. Those quilts will be exhibited and sold on March 21st, 2009. I was number 29!
