Balance
48" x 48"
What better way to symbolize the MaRQ challenge Opposing Forces.
The sun and moon are only 2 of the many images that complete each other;
others include man/woman, happy/sad, full/empty and so forth.
By this point in the series of working with reverse appliqué, I became much more comfortable in making the technique “my own”. The design includes hand dyed and stamped silk from Dagmar Plenk and distressed felt over high sparkle fabric to create the moon. |
 Moon Series VI: Chiwara Moon 17" x 20.5" Faux leather images of a female antelope with her young (symbols of fertility and good harvest) stand out against the moon. Distressed felt and the reverse side of upholstery fabric make up the trees which are anchored by grass and stones. |
Permission to teach the reverse appliqué method was granted by David Walker as long as the technique “became our own.” I began to use a different design with the idea of expanding the technique in future pieces. |
Reverse appliqué techniques were used to create the circle and its intersecting lines. Stab stitches enhance the shadow on the surface of the moon. |
Moon Series III: Mystic Moon
20.75" x 16.25"
My hand dyed, hand stamped fabric is the background
and woven scraps from Laura Wausaloski is the
new moon treatment.
This quilt begged for heavy bead embellishment.
Oh the Places You'll Go
19" x 28"
The Milwaukee Art Quilter's had a poem exchange.
Each participant made a quilt to represent their response to the poem.
What better idea than to be on the path to a magical place.
