Environment 12” x 12” Art Quilt (Quilt Guild Challenge) 2013
SOLD
The Westcliffe Contemporary Quilters and Fiber Artists (WCQFA) guild, Westcliffe, Colorado, issued a challenge to its members: To create a 12” x 12” art quilt illustrating our own interpretation of a topic utilizing many aspects of quilting, edging and surface design. The resulting quilts were shown at several galleries and quilt shows.
TOPIC WORD: Environment.
The earth is tough and resilient, but it never helps to assist with planting new growth to replace that which we use. The symbolism of the hands tenderly holding a seedling in the new earth conveyed that thought for me.
Construction: Reused upholstery fabric, cotton, felted wool, pipe cleaners, Black Beauty sand, fiber pigments and inks.
