I joined the Fast Friday Fabric challenge, a spin-off from Quiltart.com the first challenge was issued a few weeks ago. On a Friday morning the challenge is issued and participants have a week to finish their quilts.
September's challenge was Fall Colors with a 3-d element. Scores of ideas came to mind, but I settled on this one.

Harvest MoonsI love to free-form-cut fabric. This fabric is ArtFabrik that my mom bought me for my birthday last year. (Thanks Mom, it is gorgeous). I tightly quilted the piece, leaving half moon shapes as contrast. The moons are appliqued. I am going to take them off, make them slightly larger and re-do my edge stitching which was done at 3:00 am so I think it's a bit sloppy. My 3-D element? The moons, the stitching, hey come on, quilting makes fabric 3-d!
Harvest Moons - close upDon't let life get in the way of creating. That's hard to do especially if you have children, a job, a husband, a dog, or a cat! And certainly if you have a blog! Bye, gotta go make some art.

What a spirited piece! I really like it! You are so right that short deadlines give an artist a chance to produce a small work and then move on to something else. Your postcards for the Houston show are dynamite too!
Do you have any word from Julie? Has she had her baby yet? The last note I got from her she mentioned the midwives thought she might deliver early. Email me at debraspincic at yahoo dot com and let me know, OK?
Wow, it's beautiful! You're fall colors are way more colorful than mine are! I love the harvest moon theme.
OOh, love those moons. Great piece.
