My niece retired from the Army and sent me 38 pounds of uniforms to choose through and make her a quilt! That's the instructions. It was a real struggle to think of a way to use them of interest but by adding some red, white and blue I think I achieved it. And it became even somewhat arty with the addition of the patches.

Just finished up with my entries for Fifth Avenue Art Gallery in Melbourne, FL. This is going to be a great show called Textile Trends. The first entry is "Sunlit Fish" Techniques include piecing, darning, hand stitch, applique, machine quilting and dimensional piecing This fiber work depicts the excitement of ocean fish when the sun is shining through the beautiful blue waters. The second entry is "Rising to Meet the Moon." Techniques include piecing, darning, hand stitch, applique, machine quilting and dimensional piecing This fiber work depicts the mysterious pull the moon has on all life on earth, and fish are no exception. They love to play in the moon light. The third entry is "Threatened."
Techniques include piecing, hand stitch, applique, machine quilting, beading, couching, dimensional reality and painted fabric. This fiber work displays just a few of the hazards that a baby sea turtle faces on its road to maturity. Other creatures such as birds and sharks love to eat them, garbage ensnares them, rogue and current fishing nets trap and drown them to name just a few of these things. |
