Unless that I am very glad to have found the link to your blog on Sonji's blog. Here is an artist that does not only know her art but is also great at word play! Loved your artistic comments on your own stack quilt...<BR/>By the way, I absolutely fell in love with stack # 13. Do you sell these, and how much would they be? (Please keep in mind that I am a budding artist with a less than budding sales rate...) ;-)Angelika Westermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319727992399747779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1159102619323286992006-09-24T08:56:00.000-04:002006-09-24T08:56:00.000-04:00I think everything has been said in the wonderful ...I think everything has been said in the wonderful response to your post, I just think, thank god I am not aloneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761248438779437460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1159013957909882942006-09-23T08:19:00.000-04:002006-09-23T08:19:00.000-04:00I'm glad you had such a wonderful response to your...I'm glad you had such a wonderful response to your post.

I always thought art was about beauty, but it seems now that it has to be about symbolism, and now lately it is about expressing emotion. Sometimes it just is putting different colors together in a way that pleases you.Shelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1158928698782361362006-09-22T08:38:00.000-04:002006-09-22T08:38:00.000-04:00Me too.

I actually had a neighbor (snooty artist) comment on one of my quilts. "That's quite wonderful, what was your inspiration?" "I needed something that size to fill that space on the wall and I like those colors together."
