Well, this is a surprise. Who thought I’d ever work with black, grey, and some gold accents? But, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. It all started when I purchased some commercial fabrics with a hand-dyed look: big black circles and a great grungy grey. I pulled out all the fabrics I thought MIGHT work….
I recently attended the opening of a quilt exhibit in a very nice museum, the Elliott, in Stuart, FL. The exhibit shows the progression from traditional and utilitarian quilts to art quilts and even includes some pieces that PUSH the definition of quilt. The exhibit space is pretty large.
