One of the
things that I did get done last week during the little studio time I had, was that I finished my piece for the SAQA
benefit auction. Quite a bit earlier this year than last time, as I am aiming
to make the ‘early bird deadline’. I have already filled in and submitted the
donation form and plan to send the little quilt off today.
The SAQA
benefit auction is a fund-raiser for the organization, and I have participated
three times before already, so this is number four. (If I remember correctly...) All of these have been very
different.

| June, donation in 2012 |

| Dreams of fields, donation for 2013 |
Perhaps it
would be an idea to start a SAQA benefit auction series? I like the small
format of 12 by 12 inches. It is so different to work in such a limited space,
compared to the rather large pieces that I have been doing mostly. And although
I have been using these small pieces as field for experimetation in the past
years, they are much more than mere playful activities trying out something new.
The small size is growing on me – that sounds a bit weird, but I can’t think of
a different way of saying it right now. I think ‘growing smaller’ is certainly
one aim of what I will be doing when I am finished with the things I am working
on just now.
