Usually life in the country is peaceful. Except when it’s not. The children are escaping from the house, the new neighbors don’t look too friendly, mom is having trouble starting the truck, and even the mail service is starting to getting hinky. Oh dear!
This one was inspired by the title of a show I want to enter. It is called Turmoil. Similar to the show about borders and boundaries, this one first made me think all kinds of dark thoughts concerning today’s headlines. But then I determined to give the poor juror a laugh and create something more lighthearted.
The title is “A Troubled Day in the Country.” It was a three-day effort because it is bigger — 25.25 x 30.5″ OK it’s not the biggest art quilt in the world, but it is bigger compared to the ones I have been making for the 30 for 30 challenge.
