The SAQA Benefit Auction is here again. It's always one of the most fun fundraising events of the year and this year is no exception. The auction runs from September 12-October 5 and you can find more information and browse the almost 400 fantastic pieces availabe by navigating to the SAQA website here: https://www.saqa.com/auction
This year I decided to do another one of my fancy initials and was inspired by all the wonderful wildlife mom and I saw on our trip to Florida for the annual SAQA conference. I chose A is for Anhinga, a wonderful type of bird I'd never seen until visiting the Everglades. They were just gorgeous. Dark but patterned, large and with wonderful curvy necks.
I did some couched yarn on the letter too- that's always a fun way to add texture.
While making the A is for Anhinga for the SAQA Auction, I also decided to make two more of these quilts for wonderful SAQA staffers Martha Sielman and Jennifer Solon. They do so much for SAQA and I've really enjoyed interacting with them on the board the last five and a half years. So here's a J for Jennifer
And an M for Martha. Martha is a big bird person so hers features an M is for Mockingbird.
Definitely check out the SAQA benefit auction, it really is a super way to get a great small art quilt and support a fantastic organization.
Love these! The cutouts are so cool.
