Expo Patchwork & Quilt Exhibit, Mexico City: Fifteen by Fifteen

admin — Mon, 18 Feb 2019 22:27:50 +0000

A special Expo Patchwork & Quilt Special Exhibit was held this past weekend at The World Trade Center in Mexico City. One of the exhibits was a series of works created by the 15 members of a group I belong to called Fifteen by Fifteen.

Fifteen by Fifteen is a group of like-minded textile artists from various places throughout the world, who have come together to participate in an art quilt challenge. Our artistic styles vary, but we share a love of art quilting, the desire to learn and experiment, and most importantly share and grow.

Below are images from the exhibit. One of the members, Genevieve Guadalupe is shown explaining about the artwork and about our group. I made the series of Cats, which are shown in detail on my website: Black and White Cat, Abstract Cat and Complementary Colors Cat.

The 15 artists:

Joan Brailsford – United Kingdom
Maryte Collard – Lithuania
Chantal Guillermet – France
Genevieve Guadalupe – South America
Helen Hazon – United Kingdom
Greetje Hein – The Netherlands
Caro Higgs – France
Eke Krug – Norway
Els Mommers – Dutch Caribbean
Cindy Kaye Richard – Israel
Sonia Flores Ruiz – Mexico
Susan Slesinger – United States of America
Ann Turley – Unites States of America
Bozena Wojtaszek – Poland
Paoli Zanda – Switzerland

Watch for my quilt in Quilting Arts Magazine

admin — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 11:52:26 +0000

The staff of Quilting Arts Magazine decided to include many of the quilts they received for the “Greatest Pet Peeve” Reader Challenge” in the Dec/Jan 2011 issue. So, I am happily mailing my quilt off to the magazine. I’ll keep you posted. I’m very excited at the prospect of seeing my work in print. Friskers, the main character of my cat-scape was thrilled as well. She was rewarded with some tuna. She didn’t ask why, she just ate it all…

Final landscape, cat-scape

admin — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 09:20:14 +0000

It’s done! Bound, sewn and delivered. I hope it’s a finalist. It was really fun to do.
I tried to bring out the three-dimensional quality of the scene. I wanted you, the viewer, to understand that you and a cat are looking at a fridge with lots of stuff on the shelves.

The closeup view shows the cat and her long white whiskers peering and sniffing at the contents of the fridge.

I used cotton fabric, cotton thread, some synthetic fabric, some stabilizer and tulle. (The door is meant to be a little fuzzy because of the plastic shelving, which I made with tulle.)
The batting is Warm and Natural, cotton batting. The final size is 8.5″ x 11″.

The next stages of my landscape or should I say, cat-scape…

admin — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 19:12:46 +0000

Did I mention I plan to enter this miniature quilt into a challenge? It’s due next week. Quilting Arts Magazine is running the “Greatest Pet Peeve” Reader Challenge”. I thought it would be fun, since I live in a “cat house” and there are more than a few feline antics to choose from. I debated whether a cat in the fridge would be more amusing than a cat drinking from a coffee mug. My faithful audience, aka my family, told me that the cat in the fridge was clearly the choice!

So, here are the next stages I’ve worked up of my cat-scape. The first is before quilting. I’ve made real strides to show the depth into the fridge.

The second shot is after quilting. I chose not to do an enormous amount of thread painting, because I wanted the items in the fridge to be recognizable. They are not artistic images; they are bottles of juice, containers of milk and pots.
I’d be glad to hear what you think! Do you see the three-dimensional quality of this work? Our fridge really looks this way. You can’t see the back!

More on landscape quilting

Here is the next step in my fridge landscape. I’ve traced the scene and I’m filling in the blanks under the tracing.
It’s starting to shape up. More to come.

New landscape quilt on its way: This one is in the fridge though

admin — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 11:57:41 +0000

I can’t resist doing this new landscape quilt. Who says a landscape has to be trees and grass? Why not an everyday view, like inside your fridge? Well some in our family think that is better than the outdoors. Here is proof. So, this is the inspiration. More to come as I progress. Since we are known as a “cat house” it seems just right. More to come…

Another crab siting

admin — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 14:18:24 +0000

Ok, so the crab is in the shadows and the sun, but who took away the rocks? This time I went for grass and rocks. Here is the current result.

I can show this without the rocks as well. Here goes.

Which one???
I still need to deal with the top, left corner. Looking forward to your thoughts.
