Just got a new memory card especially for quilt shows. I took dozens of photos at the quilt show in Philadelphia yesterday. Seeing a real trend in Photorealism as in the quilt above...
and while I admire the skills and technology needed to make realistic images, I still am drawn to works like this one. The Korean quiltmaker used silk organza from an old garment, which appeals to my love of recycling fabric. I am so wanting to cut up my wedding dress now!
I prefer making the non-realistic ones too. great red and white quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these. Both are beautiful, but I also prefer the abstract. It's quite a thought to cut up your wedding dress. I suppose it would be used and appreciated more if it were in quilts. Tough decision!
ReplyDeletelove the quilt you do as well, wow sorry I missed this show, i heard there were some beautiful baltimore album quilts?

Helen,
ReplyDeleteCenter of that abstract quilt looks like a wedding sari from India. It is beautiful! Cutting up a wedding dress would be quite bold but I couldn't agree more with LeeAnn, you will see it more. Not sure how I would feel.
Oh my making a quilt out of your wedding dress! Well why not you are not going to wear it again and you would see it more like LeeAnn said..... and I bet you would love the process of making something amazing with it too.
