Not long ago there was a wonderful exhibit at the Dennos Museum.
Carole Harris is a Michigan quilting artist. Detroit native.
The link is to a great little video of her talking about her process.
Describing her quilts as her children struck home with me.
I dove into the details of her quilts. The hand painted sections.
The earthy colors and contrast.
Layering of fabrics with cut outs & hand stitching.
The texture she creates is stunning. Makes me want to go hand color a lot of fabric,
cut it up, hand stitch it & layer. I can only imagine the time involved.
What activities are taking you to a good place these days?

She is a great quilter, thanks for sharing her beautiful work!

Wow, that handpainting is gorgeous (and a lot of work I'd imagine).
ReplyDeleteI think this is my first visit to your blog?? I posted quilt themes three years in a row but changed it up this year to reflect on my day job. Still quilting, sewing and crocheting tho ;) Look forward to reading more of your posts!

I'm impressed you find time to look at blogs & blog yourself with child care 24/7 in the mix! Keep those hands moving & I'm glad you found me.

ReplyDeleteYummy stuff! Love!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the comment that you wrote on Blogging A-Z's "Q" post today. Like you, I don't understand the dearth of visual artists in this challenge. I've tried pushing it on my myriad social outlets, where I have many creative pals. I get crickets.
Thanks for sharing the detail - wow.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a quilter but I appreciate the art form.
Q
I love these multi-layered creations - such depth and beauty. Thanks for the introduction to her work.
