Here is the one version inspired by Morgan's second envelope that had a script that went edge to edge. It's fine - but the colors in that stamp are tricky. They have some very dark tones as well as softer tones - but the overall effect is consistent. Maybe I'll buy more of them and keep trying. As much as I love doing a script from edge to edge, I might have to make myself move on. Or do I? What if I got stuck in a rut? Would any of you say anything? One person has noted that my style is very different these days - compared to ten years ago when the exchange was born. More on this later.

I know some of the readers are also quilters. Here's a look at some quilts that are on the contemporary end of the spectrum. There's a fair amount of talking at the beginning where they explain the origin of this exhibit after the more contemporary quilters were not being included in mainstream quilt exhibits.
I'll make a bold statement here. I loved a couple of the quilts - and really did not care for quite a few. It parallels contemporary art. I love a few select pieces - but there's a lot that just doesn't resonate with me.
I can see why they had to start their own venue to show contemporary work.
