Small Pictorial – Part Two

Yesterday, we explored several of the quilts in the Small Pictorial category at the International Quilt Festival. Here are a few more!!

I like the peaceful sensation that flows out of this quilt…..

The scarf extending off of the quilt is a sweet touch!!

This next quilt proves that ANYTHING can be a quilt inspiration!! The maker did an excellent job, especially with the beard’s texture…..

I also like that the background has an “unfinished” look, furthering the idea behind this quilt…..

You look at certain quilts and IMMEDIATELY know who made them. This is another classic from Kestrel Michaud. She makes full use of the technologies available to her and, in this quilt, digitally cut the applique pieces!!

This next quilt was awarded a Blue Ribbon and it was DESERVED!!

We spoke to Judith Phelps at length as she told us about her process for making this quilt….

I came away with one “a-ha” moment….. To achieve greater dimension, she uses matte threads for the background areas and rayon or other “shiny” threads for the top threads.

She also used matching threads on the front and back so that the horse can be seen from either side…..

This next quilt was my visual favorite…..

Have a closer look at the MANY pieces that went into the dress…..

Finally, the serenity expressed in this quilt spoke to my heart……

The light source behind the gate emphasized the “Path of Silence”!!

Well…there you have my favorites from the Small Pictorial Division.

Tomorrow we will tackle the LARGE ones!!
