It was the first time I saw art quilts "in the fiber" and was completely knocked out. <br /><br />It was a quiet weekday afternoon in that gallery and I just lay down on the floor and stared. Seeing this work completely changed my thinking about the possibilities of fabric and thread.Deb Lacativahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037530669295128974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-89819273507218881592009-06-30T11:39:09.715-07:002009-06-30T11:39:09.715-07:00One thing that strikes me in this series, is light...One thing that strikes me in this series, is light source. I like how its depicted in each quilt but I'm not sure how you got to those design decisions. Is it deliberately planned and worked toward or was it more spontaneous? 60" is such a nice size - it makes a statement, works well with the subject matter and yet fits well on a wall and under your sewing machine (gotta be practical!)Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-86543502639396289252009-06-30T10:12:57.162-07:002009-06-30T10:12:57.162-07:00I began each one anew and deliberately did not loo...I began each one anew and deliberately did not look at the previous ones - the one constant was the size.Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-4993783290701567252009-06-30T10:02:21.562-07:002009-06-30T10:02:21.562-07:00Thank you!

Scrolling through them it's difficult to see exactly though I plan to spend more time with them.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730298448632087144noreply@blogger.com
