I'm not sure that "Twister 2" is actually a quilt, but it is interesting. Quilt shows can be fun.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are all so amazing. Shocking what people can create!
ReplyDeleteHaving a bio degree, that below the surface one really spoke to me. And Twister was an interesting view too. I think you found a super exhibit Debra.
ReplyDeleteAmazing work, I have a neighbor who urges us all to learn to quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove these!
ReplyDeleteThe last two grabbed me.
ReplyDelete...I love quiolts and you have several, but these certainly aren't granny's quilts. They are fabric art!!!
ReplyDeleteIncredible!
ReplyDeleteWow! Simply amazing how quilting has emerged into a full time art spectacular. I know a few quilters who just make art with fabric. Very impressive. Thank you for sharing with SITAR and have a happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably gorgeous!
ReplyDeletegotta love those salmon drying
ReplyDelete@ Gidget Blue Sky -- I AGREE, sister cat Gidget! These STUPID HUMANS all missed that BRILLIANT interpretation! Sometimes I just SHAKE MY HEAD.
ReplyDelete@ Her Royal Highness -- Now, now, HRH, no name-calling on my blog!
Delete@ Gidget Blue Sky -- Thank you for your unique interpretation of the "Twister2" art quilt.
Lovely exhibition!
ReplyDeleteLove the first one.
ReplyDeleteSome of these were fantastic. Loved the first one and the crack. They were my favorites, but they were all really stunning art quilts.
ReplyDeleteReally fantastic, but I do have a favorite: "There is a Crack in Everything". Certainly is true in my garden.
ReplyDeleteI never got into quilts....but I can appreciate the level of talent, time, work and patience that can go into creating them. These are amazing.
ReplyDeleteTwister2 looks like a collection of zippers to me, not salmon fillets hanging to dry, and is not a quilt in any way, shape, or form. And before HRH tries to claw me from beyond the grave, I am an aquatic ecologist who majored in fish biology and also a quilter. The last quilt, Germination, is exquisite though!
ReplyDelete@ Tundra Bunny -- Well, art IS subjective in the eye of each beholder. Yes, "Germination" is a particular favourite of mine too.
DeleteI really like the quilts.
ReplyDeleteThese are really beautiful, Debra!!! Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend. I hope you have a lovely week ahead.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and these mostly push the window of definition of "quilt." Fiber art needs expression!
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup de mettre en valeur l’art textile, une tradition populaire souvent négligée.
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful amazing fabulous astonishing and I love them all.
ReplyDeleteThey are just amazing. Past anything I could ever imagine. I really like the stumps.
ReplyDeletelovely ! 💕
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful exhibition, Debra!
ReplyDeleteRenewal is certainly part of our lives!
I wonder if I would even know these were quilts if you hadn't told me. Such skillful artwork.
ReplyDeleteSuch skill, dedication and patience! I like Long Street and Twister is an interesting alternative!
ReplyDeleteI like the one with the fields and sky.
ReplyDeletewow! I have no words to describe. All these are so beautiful! Have a lovely week! Liuba x
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic. At quick look, I first thought the first one and the one of the posts in the water were photos!
ReplyDeleteStunning. Gorgeous work
ReplyDeletethe crack art and the winter took my breath away wow
ReplyDeletebig big thanks dear Debra for sharing these amazingly pretty design filled with lovely meanings of life :)

Long Street Legacy really is appealing with all those colors!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful and so creative. I especially like 'A chinook renewal of winter.'
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
"A Chinook Renewal of Winter" is simply lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely art quilts. Really liked There is a Crack in Everything. Amazing quilting on that one.
ReplyDelete-Soma
