Simple Transformation

Results Trickle In

I've started to print on used linen garments, and so far, it seems okay. They are still ho-hum to me, but I've more ideas and more to go. Definitely love the intense color, one that is part of the theme color set. Rounding out this will be pants, but that's still on the printing room table.
 

Today's Reclamation

This simple, powerful statement by Sherri Lynn Wood is composed from safety vests discarded at the San Francisco dump. She made this quilt ''s and others that are on view while an artist in residence at the Recology San Francisco. You can see them at the Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, New York.

Weather Proof Patchwork

Lois Mae Kuh brought one of her eclectic banners to out last quilt club meeting. Made from recycled outdoor signs, this hangs outdoors in all types of weather. Quite fun, and great use of patterning. Tip of the hat, Lois.
