Ellen Lindner: Art & Creativity

More quilts that caught my attention:

I love the abstraction in Thelma Bearden’s Very Berries.   As well as the glowing stained glass quality.  

In contrast to the hard edges in the quilt above, Marianne Willimason’s pieces are always very impressionistic, with soft edges.  She calls this one Evening Garden and it sold at the show.

She uses very heavy stitching, tiny bits of fabric, and paint to get her desired effect. 

I guess it’s pretty obvious that I’m attracted to these nature quilts.  I’m just now noticing how many of my photos include them.

Pat Durbin is shown below with her quilt, Sunlight in the Forest.  Perhaps you can tell that it’s actually three seperate pieces.  Although she considers them to be one complete artwork, she also commented that the individual pieces give her hanging options.  Very clever!  And a beautiful depiction of light through the trees.

I’ve got a bunch more photos on my phone, so I’ll show you some of those, as well.

It’s interesting:  I’ve seen several people post about Houston quilts and they’ve shown completely different quilts than I have.  Clearly, we all have our personal preferences!

Hope you’re having fun pursuing your own personal preferences.
