Quilt Exhibit

My art quilt called “Midstream” has been accepted into a FRCQ (Front Range Contemporary Quilters) exhibit being held at the First United Methodist Church.  “Rejuvenation” runs from August 28th to September 24th in Boulder.  Midstream full_1

I have used painted cotton, yarn, lace, felted wool and air-dried clay wrapped with linen thread for the “rocks” below.  There is machine quilting and hand stitching to create the effect of rushing water.  The spring run-off brings refreshing water downstream.  The white water is full of oxygen and it renews plants for the coming season.  I created this piece to render a rushing stream in fiber and stitch.  Nature is always an inspiration for me.  I look for the details and translate what I see with my own interpretation into visible texture to draw the viewer in for a closer look.
