LOCAL COLOR - SAQA/CT

I am excited to share with you some of the quilts accepted into SAQA/CT's "Local Color". A small sample of quilts can be found on the sistersincloth blog. The show will be shown in Connecticut during 2013 in four venues. Check back again for the dates and locations for this wonderful art quilt exhibit!
Here is a closeup of one of my quilts which was accepted.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS

Here is my newest piece inspired by a postage stamp. The challenge was to create a piece using a postage stamp as an inspiration. I poured over many stamps and decided to create a textile piece inspired by the USPS series on Abstract Expressionists of the 1940's and 1950's. I created this piece with a package of batik strips, made in Ghana and purchased from Cultured Expressions. I inserted a small strip in cloth into a larger strip and then created the piece by using the Log Cabin pattern.  I LOVE these batiks, I especially love the colors and the hand.
This piece is hanging at the Guilford Library in Guilford, CT along with other pieces created by my fellow  Sisters In Cloth. The exhibit will run until December 31, 2012. Please stop by.

Thanks to the quick action and hard work of Diane Cadrain, Impromptu Fibers, an exhibit of art quilters across the state is hanging at the CT Department of Transportation in Newington CT.  Sixteen artists answered her call, with nine appearing with the collected pieces to hang the exhibit yesterday. 

Thank you to Diane Wright for putting this article on the Sisters in Cloth blog. The exhibit is colorful and shows a wide range of techniques used by quilt art artists.
