Just thought you might like to see what some of the artists look like. We may not win any beauty contests, but we had a lot of fun and even sold a few pieces.

2007 Journal Quilt, Lily Kerns

I’m one of those that ran out of time for photography, but this is the central portion of my 2007 journal quilt.  It is printed on a prepared fabric with pigment ink.  I had prepared printed borders to go with it around a small accent border, but when I got ready to sew it together, the quilt simply refused to have them next to it.   Sounds weird I know, but I learned long ago to listen to  a quilt when it becomed adamant about something….

It is quilted fairly simply to accent the shapes, with a bit of gold foil added.

The design is computer generated from a photograph of nuts and pinecones and is only one of many possibilities I had to choose from from that photograph.  The border pattern is a related image and was modified and reflected in PhotoShop to create a border.  I loved it on the computer, but not on the quilt..

Time to Crow

Carol Bormann and I, Emmie Seaman, were accepted into the She Made Her Mark exhibit at the Quilters Hall of Fame in Marion, IN. The show is up now and until June 27. The museum is in the Marie Webber Home; a famous quilter and successful pattern designer in the 20’s and 30’s and apparently, this is their first “Art Quilt” exhibit. Most exciting, I won the Juror’s Choice award. WOW!
