New Fibers























 Unusual materials including woven electronic cords, a ladder made of hot glue, drawer liners, organza, felt, hair rollers and wire. My favorite was the brick wall by Patricia Mink rich in textures. Excellent show through Dec 10 at 900 Oakwood, Ypsilanti.

Divided Souls in the United States of America





The spirit of a once united country is no more.  We are split between the socialists and capitalists, and the progressives and the conservatives.We are pro choice for the rights of a woman or pro life, for the rights of the unborn. We are now a divided nation along class, gender, political party, race, and religion. The quilt is a challenge for the theme, Day of the Dead.

Materials: aluminum, beads, charms, cottons, ribbons, sequins, trims
Embossing, sanding and stitching on metals, machine embroidered hands, hand and machine quilting. Patriot font digital quilt, designed in Make the Cut software, printed on fabric.
