30.3 - Jonquil’s Task- May all of your ups and downs in life be with a needle and thread:

Your Folk Art assignment is to design a quilt theme for two of the less-well-known quirky holidays that occur during September -November from the Fun Holidays website’s list

Book 1: October 13 - International Skeptics Day

My quilt has an eyeball in the center to represent me and my skepticism, and my belief that, "seeing is believing." Surrounding the eye are mythical creatures and stuff of folklore, like zombies, a half man/half beast creature, giant sea monsters and vampires, all things of which I am skeptical of their existence.

The Hike by Drew Magary

Book 2: November 17 - Take a Hike Day

My quilt has the undulating pattern of waves, water and mountain ranges below a setting sun that represent the views I most enjoy when out taking a hike.
