Three of my art quilts will be in Fabrications II Art Quilts of the U.P. at the William Bonifas Arts Center in my beautiful home town of Escanaba, MI.
The three I submitted are:
A Night on the Town - I used a Ricky Tims' Convergence Quilt Method for the background. The image is inspired by old pictures of my mother & father-in-law all dressed up for a night on the town when my father-in-law used to play saxophone in a band.
Color Wheel - This quilt was created for a Batik challenge. Everyone had many 8 inch squares of many multicolor batiks. I was inspired by a quilt color theory class that I had recently taken.
Fish School - This quilt was also part of a batik challenge. The fish are each made of a different batik square. This quilt was in honor of my pet fish in the pond in my yard.
We recently had a disaster. For some unknown reason, all my fish died. They stopped eating one day, stopped swimming the next and all died the next. I am very sad about this. My husband and I decided to drain and clean the pond completely out this fall and try a new school of fish next spring. In the meantime, this Fish School quilt commemorates a time when my fish were all healthy and happy.
If you can make it to Michigan's Upper Peninsula in August - stop in the Bonifas Arts center to see the quilts!
Happy Quilting
Amber.
