| "Helen" |
"Helen" was sold a few years ago in an auction for Studio Art Quilt Associates, aka SAQA. I loved making this piece based upon a portrait I painted.
12"X12" textile portrait of cotton and batik fabrics, fusible applique, machine quilting, and set on a second backing of black felt.
The title for this portrait is special because my mother-in-law's name is also Helen. It doesn't look anything like her, but she is very dear to me. My husband and I have been her caregivers - at 92 she is failing after two strokes. Sad times. (which also explains the gap in my posts)
best to you all, deborah
I am thrilled to tell you that "In Loving Memory", created as a tribute to my Mother, remembering her favorite things and all the good times we had together will be exhibited at the Sacred Threads 2015 show in July!
Do check out Sacred Threads website - it is a one of a kind endeavor and a fabulous opportunity for all art quilters.
