More textile work

I have had a little rash of posts.

Now I have some Left-Over Quilts that were 'left out'.
So I feel a need for them to be shown/shared.

This first one was done at Haystack School for Art & Craft on Deer Island in Maine. This is my quilt done about Dorothy's shoes on the Yellow Brick Road.  It amused me greatly that I didn't get the shoes 'right'.  I went to an unreliable source for shoe image information!


The next one, simple, small, unusual, & one-of-a-kind.


I made The Double X Snow Blanket in response to this painting my sister Lynne gave me. 

Here's a detail first...


I loved this hairy image-- the zesty dancers-- & the daring of the whole thing!
I took oil paint sticks to the applique zigzag figures after the quilt-top was assembled.
Talk about the nerve, it took daring!

This quilt ended up in Leslie Alexander's home.
There is a mirror on the right, hence the reflection.
This was done in a period where I was exploring long forms.
My Giacometti Period!

There were quite a few other quilts in that period.... 
           
I made this paper quilt using leaves from my garden in paper.
This quilt is in a utterly traditional diagonal format.
Alternating squares have leaves in them...
The others have leaf impressions & leaf dyes in them.

That's it for now.
