As I go through layers-of-thinking about simplifying our lives, it is clear we can do with less. I'm impressed by how getting rid of stuff has a wonderful lightening effect. I had never acknowledged my collections as being burdensome. I am quite surprised by this.
As before, I am offering to friends & family another batch of quilts that I made & two pieces that I collected. Please let me know which piece(s) most speaks to you. To honor the time and care that went into these quilts, I would be delighted if you would make a donation to the Vancouver Art Gallery Program in Education. I am suggesting a minimum donation, but you are allowed to exceed that. Please let me know what your donation amount would be; then if an item is wanted by more than one person, I will have a way to chose. I'm excited to invest in a next generation of artists together.
In the end I will let you know how much we raise.
Only a few weren't spoken for, so the prices are still there.
Larger quilts
Earth & Sky 55 x 61 cotton, hand-quilted, quite faded 1980
Summer Slumber 52 x 63 utility quilt, machine-quilted 2007
Tree of Life, Ghanian hand-appliqué, 68 x 98 bedspread size, year unknown, two layers of cloth-- so a lightweight piece. It is made in a style typical of Asafo flags.
I love the two figures under the tree! Undoubtedly they are characters in a well-known story.
Here's more about Asafo flags.
