Art of the Day: 02/05/2007
This Week's Theme:   Quilts
 

quilt(kwilt)
n.
1. A coverlet or blanket made of two layers of fabric with a layer of cotton, wool, feathers, or down in between, all stitched firmly together, usually in a decorative crisscross design.
2. A thick protective cover similar to or suggestive of a quilt.

Quilts, whether tradional, modern, functional or decorative, are a part of the history and heritage of many families in almost every culture. When you consider this and the creativity, artistry, skill and care with which quilts are created, the above definition hardly seems adequate.

Media:  textiles, quilting
Dimensions:  30" x 50"
Date of Work:  1997

Like other artists on ebsq, I have worked in more than one medium. For many years, I did quilted wall hangings exclusively--going from working very large to what I now do which is drawing in scratchboard and working pretty small. This has been a difficult transformation and much of it done unwillingly. This wall mural/hanging was a commissioned piece for a corporate office in Los Angeles. I hand dyed the cotton and silk fabrics, assembled the design and quilted it on an old Singer heavy duty sewing machine that I converted to a quilting machine. Many hours were involved in this piece and it looked great when hung. I almost forgot about it but found the slide and hope others will enjoy looking at it too. Sometimes I can't believe I worked that big. I must be getting old.
