Xhosa - update

Greetings All,
This is the fourth step in the Xhosa piece and I am loving it more each step.  This piece is machined pieced, fused raw-edge appliqued, Crayola fabric markers and Prismacolor pencils used to enhance the face and garment.  The whole piece has been quilted with Sulky Blendables cotton threads.

Xhosa the unfinished project.

Greeting All,
Several months ago a call went out for art quilts to honor Nelson Mandela before he died.  I started the piece, but could never get it finish.  This week I went into my studio and worked on it each day.  This will be a simple landscape with my hand dyed cotton, gifted cotton, purchased cotton and it's title is Xhosa.  I missed the deadline, but I must complete.

Women Who Broke All the Rules
Women Who Broke All the Rules celebrates the ordinary but extraordinary women throughout history who made decisions that changed lives. By breaking the rules in the “good girl” handbook, they defined new ways for women to live.  My pieces "Dishy Dinah" (left), "Harriet's Gone Up Yonder", and "The Keeper of the City" are all a part of this exhibit.




Pretty Planet: Fiber Artists Coalition
Pretty Planet is an exhibit of art quilts inspired by the beauty of the earth. Members of the Fiber Artists Coalition find inspiration in the environment, the people, and the joy of living in a wonderful world. Whether firmly planted in the soil or soaring through the sky, their art absorbs and reflects this pretty planet.  My piece "Big Sky - V" is a part of this exhibit, so if you plan to attend please let me know if you saw these exhibits.
