My quilt, Mr. and Mrs., is finally complete.
Mr. and Mrs.
Here’s a detail shot.
This quilt is about my parents. There were married 66 years. My dad was a hard-working farmer and my mom did the book work and cared for four children. Although not prone to romantic gestures, they were devoted to one another. Their complementary roles resulted in a thriving family and a prosperous business.
I printed all the fabric (with thickened dye.) I pieced the background like a complex Tetris game. That took a LONG time, but I’m very happy with it. And with the whole quilt.
This quilt is available for purchase. I think it would look really great in someone’s home!
43.5”h x 42”w, $1900

Congratulations on this stunning new piece. I especially like the “plaid-like ” fabrics you have created, I enjoyed your previous posts about the progress on this piece.
Thanks, Martha! I spent a LONG time on that background, but I’m very happy with the result. I’m glad you like it.
I have loved watching you move from realistic depictions to meaningful abstract. This is almost my fav (next to the two I own and enjoy daily). Full of layers of paint, fabric and symbolism. Kudos to you.
Thanks, Cindy! I see that you’re having fun with mosaics these days. Aren’t we lucky to have so many creative outlets?
Nice job Ellen.
Thanks, Cathy!
