Happy Halloween! I chose this quilt to show you this month because I think the purple ghost faces are kind of humorously scary and the bowl is flowing with the abundance of Fall.  "Bowl" is part of a series of six art quilts I began in 1987 and finished in 1988, each one an image of a container.  This particular vessel, with whimsical animal energy radiating out from the center and becoming little dots and dashes of acrylic paint, expresses the exuberance of the season.  I added the purple splotch spirits with mouths and eyes to move toward the viewer in a friendly way.  I recently quilted this piece on my longarm machine which added a whole new texture and dimension to it.

 UNDERSTANDING

My understanding is what really matters; its only confusion that makes life difficult and gets in the way of getting my needs met.  When I understand how the Universe works, I go with the flow and I get more of what I need.
