for betsy- a silk quilt

Another work in progress- though needing to be done soon- it is half hand quilted in the image.
I'll post the finished piece with binding and all.



I think it looks like a standard "quilters' cotton" quilt- but it is silk- not large- sized intentionally that way- about 30 x 30 inches, it is made of Versachi (the blue) and Cardin silk. The silks and my way of cutting and sewing account for the form that the star pattern takes. Less precision and more speed. The silk is not interfaced so retained all it natural "hand" and movement during the process of piecing the quilt.

cotton batt and back and quilted with silk thread.

I hope she likes it.

how's it hanging?

Here is the latest thing to hang amongst the group in a group show in Catskill, (Leeds) NY

5 x 5 feet- it's another spin-off from a series of strip quilts that I did a few years ago- and have now cannibalized for the occasional bag, resized quilt or this collection of resized quilts mounted on a background fabric and stretched over a canvas stretcher.

Two other pieces hang as well.
