Round and Round It Goes by Paula Kovarik
Recently I wrote an artist statement about my quilt, Round and Round It Goes, for the Quilt National Artists website. The piece is traveling with the Quilt National 2013 show (moving to Columbus, Ohio in January).
OK, so I may have a slight advantage, I am actually an administrator of the QNA site...and we needed an article for last Friday. It was a challenge to put into words what a year's worth of thoughts created.

No loss of inspiration in my life. I just have to try to get to sleep. My brain is on overdrive.

Here's a work-in-progress shot of a piece I am doing about that netherworld we all feel while trying to go to sleep on a full brain. It is done on a pillow sham given to me by a friend.
Earth Stories scrap pillows
This is what happened to that piece I scrapped in March (see previous post here). There is something very comforting about taking a rotary cutter to a piece that did NOT satisfy.
Now I can forget the agony.
The bugs are making their last efforts before the chilling nights arrive. We have clouds of mosquiltos, armies of ants and sporadic spiders everywhere. This one was particularly industrious and perfect yesterday. A thrilling sketch that could be my next quilting diagram.
