There were so many incredible quilts at the Houston show! Here are a few more that I especially enjoyed.
Suspicion by Tanya Brown is a diminutive quilt of 11 inches square. Tanya used Tsukineko ink, watercolor and free-motion quilting on cotton fabric for this original design.
Poly Dressler Bech said she played with solar printing techniques and effects to create this quilt.
All My Roads Lead Back to You by Alice Beasley is just plain arresting. The quilt was inspired by a photo of her mother taken ca. 1914. Here she sits on her Papa’s knee, feet dangling off the edge of the quilt.
Downtown by Marion Coleman features a full-sized dress, hat, gloves
and hankie. Photographs remind us of how one dressed to go shopping downtown during the 1940 to 1960 time period.
Susan Carlson used Pippen, her mixed breed dog, as inspiration for this collaged quilt. Susan says that Pippen is satisfied to be “Dixie Dingo, the wild dog of the Americas. She reminds us to be happy with who and where we are.”
Detail.
Cat Larrea’s My Inner Raven was a real treat. I’m afraid this photo only hints at its splendor.
I’ll share a few more incredible quilts next week. Meanwhile, I’m already making plans to be in Houston for the 2013 show. If you’d like to see earlier quilts I shared, click here.
