Yesterday we started looking at some of the quilts from the Handwork division at QuiltCon 2024. Here are a few more for your viewing pleasure!!
This quilt was designed to bring both day and night into one quilt….
It contains some wonderful hand quilting!!
This quilt explores the paths of the Neuostheim Railway Junction in Germany…..
She used cross stitches to continue the railway theme representing the universal road sign of a railway…..
This next quilt uses a myriad of techniques, including hand embroidery and net overlays….
I particularly love the way the light moves subtly to the center of the quilt!!
The maker of this quilt sees it as a imaginary field of flowers…..
She said that there were many miss-steps in making the quilt but she loved how it turned out. I can see the flowers now, can’t you?
I have seen this type of work at previous shows and always appreciate what the artist can achieve with simple changes of color….
Her layers of netting and cross-stitch create a subtle color pattern….
I bet it weighs a TON!!
This quilt was a reproduction of an original work by the Canadian artist, Ray Dal Lam. He agreed on a collaboration to translate his digital pieces into analog textile art…..
The quilting was PERFECTION….
Finally……
I appreciated the woven pieces that were intertwined in the quilt….
Well….that does it for the Handwork division.
Next Monday we will move to an exhibit of the quilts of Jacquie Gering.
