For my donation this year to the 2017 SAQA Benefit Auction, I wanted to try doing a series and expand on the theme of moonlight. I call this little art quilt, Moonlight in Vermont . It's 12" x 12" per the required size for submission. I made it for two reasons; (1) I was born in Vermont and (2) It's the title of one of my favorite songs. I used the same background fabric as in my previous quilt. I used silver tissue lamé for the moon again and silver metallic thread for the quilting design and for highlighting the mountain tops. This time, however, I used a silver permanent marker to add more highlights to show the moon's shadow on the mountains. (It sold for $100)
