Ka-ching

This is the money pit by Shirley Snowden. She used screen material for the door that is hanging off its hinges.


This couple is Shirley and her husband who have spent a lot of time and money redoing their own house in Ashland...so she knows what she is talking about!


This quilt is by Sheri Russo. The pig lifts up to show words underneath.



You can see the green fabric scattered throughout the quilt top.

On the back, Sheri has bowls which also lift up to display things that she is thankful for.

This is Turkey Mandala by Sarah Breckenridge. Those are real feathers and she did lots of hand stitching on this piece.



Rona Barnes created Such a Deal using credit cards that have come to her in the mail.



Arabian Nights is Patty Duggan's first quilt for our group. She used chain from the hardware store and lots of coins to get that jingle.





Lynne Goulette photo transfered money from different countries and did gorgeous freehand quilting across her piece.



Elaine Turcke painted washers and cut up credit cards to get
the sound out of her quilt.

Karen,

Thanks for posting photos of the finished projects for the "Ka-ching" challenge. Besides the obvious (the well thought-out designs and skillful workmanship), I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of styles. It's hard to believe that each person received the same set of "rules," yet the results were so unique!

What a talented group of artists you have in Ashland! I plan to come down from Salem to see the show in person.

Thanks, Karen, for coordinating the challenge, and to U.S. Bank for hosting the show. What fun!
