I'm not sure that "Twister 2" is actually a quilt, but it is interesting. Quilt shows can be fun.

Rade said...

These are beautiful!!!

Bob said...

Those are all so amazing. Shocking what people can create!

Having 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.

Travel said...

Amazing work, I have a neighbor who urges us all to learn to quilt.

Harry said...

Love these!

Ms. Moon said...

The last two grabbed me.

Tom said...

...I love quiolts and you have several, but these certainly aren't granny's quilts. They are fabric art!!!

DB Stewart said...

Incredible!

DVArtist said...

Wow! 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.

gotta love those salmon drying

Her Royal Highness said...

@ Gidget Blue Sky -- I AGREE, sister cat Gidget! These STUPID HUMANS all missed that BRILLIANT interpretation! Sometimes I just SHAKE MY HEAD.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Her Royal Highness -- Now, now, HRH, no name-calling on my blog!
@ Gidget Blue Sky -- Thank you for your unique interpretation of the "Twister2" art quilt.

Christine said...

Lovely exhibition!

Liz Hinds said...

Love the first one.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Some of these were fantastic. Loved the first one and the crack. They were my favorites, but they were all really stunning art quilts.

Yvonne said...

Really fantastic, but I do have a favorite: "There is a Crack in Everything". Certainly is true in my garden.

Mistress Maddie said...

I 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.

Tundra Bunny said...

Twister2 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!

Mary Kirkland said...

I really like the quilts.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Tundra Bunny -- Well, art IS subjective in the eye of each beholder. Yes, "Germination" is a particular favourite of mine too.

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

These are really beautiful, Debra!!! Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend. I hope you have a lovely week ahead.

Barbara Rogers said...

Beautiful and these mostly push the window of definition of "quilt." Fiber art needs expression!

Anonymous said...

Merci beaucoup de mettre en valeur l’art textile, une tradition populaire souvent négligée.

Shammickite said...

All wonderful amazing fabulous astonishing and I love them all.

Barbara said...

They are just amazing. Past anything I could ever imagine. I really like the stumps.

Katerinas Blog said...

A very beautiful exhibition, Debra!
Renewal is certainly part of our lives!

Kirk said...

I wonder if I would even know these were quilts if you hadn't told me. Such skillful artwork.

Duni said...

Such skill, dedication and patience! I like Long Street and Twister is an interesting alternative!

River said...

I like the one with the fields and sky.

Liuba said...

wow! I have no words to describe. All these are so beautiful! Have a lovely week! Liuba x

Jeanie said...
