Counting Quilting

While I was in Cape Cod a couple of weeks ago, I got to revisit Joe Cunningham's exhibit. To see work up close and in person is always a treat. The scale, the construction, and the 'true' color (always dependent on the light) is valuable info. Since my work today was mundane, here's a detail of "4,000 Beagles" by Joe.
 

Within the Frame, Too!

As I was packing, sorting, tossing things today for my trip to Cape Cod and the Cahoon Museum's three day design class, I realized that this piece was a direct descendent of the Within the Frame mentaility. And it can be made square, so I can finish it and put it in the "Be There, Be Square" show in October.
 

Within the Frame

I should mention that I'll be in person in Cape Cod's Cahoon Museum for a three day improv design workshop "Within the Frame" August 9 - 11. Although most of my teaching gigs are printing fabric, I love to dive in a pile of fabric and reassemble, getting things like this. Join me, there are spots left. 
 

Before and After

I can't remember if I'd added the beginning and ending of the quilt Joe Cunningham made for the Cahoon Museum. While Joe and Seda Tarek worked on the cherry picker, I layed down the lower 12 feet of spinnaker nylon. Staples did the job. It'll be up till mid-September.
 

Meet Julie Silber

Part of the quilt extravatanza for this summer's at the Cahoon Museum of Art is an exhibit of Julie Silber's collection of old and new quilts. The works are a delight, always hold a great story, and have a soul. Like Julie herself, I might add. It was great to spend time with Julie, go visit this summer in Cotuit, Mass.
