Makes me want to say, "THINK PEOPLE! Use your imagination for 2 seconds!"<br /><br />Not a one of them has ever take a photo of something from two or three different angles because it looked cool? Can't get more representational or serial than that. It's just slower if you quilt it. <br /><br />I wish I were a serial art quilter. For now I'm focused elsewhere (f/t job, gardening, spinning, knitting, beading, sewing, embroidery). So much fun to have so little time to have it. :) <br />Leigh in Portland (we are not burning down)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06372544021604211747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-44589554722892968992016-04-21T10:35:44.274-07:002016-04-21T10:35:44.274-07:00Haha I aspire to be a serial quilter.

I have made dozens over the last 4 years and am nowhere close to done, as I keep finding new facets to explore. <br /><br />But this made me laugh: "(and put together an interminable Power Point lecture which I would happily show you for a generous donation!)" Do you mean YOU will give ME a donation, for the pleasure of showing me the PowerPoint? You're ON!! :)<br /><br />MelanieMelanie McNeilhttp://catbirdquilts.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
