This is a selfish listin
g of just SOME of the fabric art I'd love for someone to put under my Christmas tree -- in no particular order.Ruth McDowell's self portrait of Nude Reclining -- or just about anything that Ruth has made.
Virginia Spiegel's 400 Songbirds. I fell in love with this piece when I wrote about her and several other quilt artists' activist quilts.
Valerie C. White's Sunrise and the Rooster and just about anything else she has made! I adored writing about her for Quilters World. If ever I feel down, I just visit her site and look at her quilts -- they always lift my spirits. Maybe it is the colors or the movements or a reminder of the fun I had writing about her.
Anything quilted by Karen McTavish! I love her style and her subversive tendencies. A quilter should have tattoos! Why not?
Eileen Doughty's activist quilts -- any of them -- and her Meteor Shower (shown below)-- any
of her landscapes. Oh heck, anything Eileen makes I like and would love to find under the Christmas tree!Well, it goes without saying -- Hollis Chatelain -- I fell in love with her Burkinabe Mother before many people had heard of Hollis.
Caryl Bryer Fallert. I'm almost afraid to write her name for fear I'll misspell it, but I can't make a wish list without her work on it. Anything, anything. But I did fall in love with her Feather Flower and Feather Study (among others). They rather remind
me of Jacobean designs.Jacobean reminds me of Mary Sorensen's work. I have one chickadee pattern on the blog and would be happy to see that hanging on my wall. But I also have fallen for her Persian Dawn Jacobean design.
Laura Schwarz Smith is new on my radar and I hope to find out more about this artist and her work. I particularly liked her Il Postino shown here to the left. Okay, I liked Imagine and Awakening and....
To look at more quilt artists and their work, Lyric Kinard has amassed a delightful list.
