My first ever SAQA challenge is finished. I wrote about the piece in progress and it is now complete. My inspiration was a glass of Gin and Tonic – a tall cool summertime drink. I picked out a selection of hand dyed fabrics in all shades of blue from deep indigo to turquoise, to pale aquamarine. The texture of the fabrics range from soft silk velvet, metallic cottons, linens and canvas. I love the addition of the greenish-yellow metallic linen. It’s the perfect wedge of lime!

I hope you have all had time to enjoy your favorite summertime drink!
Nice! I like how the quilting curves at the bottom!
Thank you. I was imagining an etched crystal tumbler with a tall cool drink!
