What an impressive body of work. The two quilts that have been chosen for the book are wonderful examples of traditional patterns supporting a deeper expression of experience and emotion. The grounding of the past allows the lift-off into metaphor. Also the colors, especially of Flesh and Blood, are inspired.

The colours are not as bright, and you are still founded on the tradition of women's art, but in more of your own way. And beautiful all the way through. It must be very satisfying to survey.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17188002198879523397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-20276392040752820522014-08-06T10:11:14.066-04:002014-08-06T10:11:14.066-04:00Congratulations, Judy!

Once again you have stretched my imagination by the use of "unconventional" techniques on the ground of traditional quilt patterns.

Karey chose it because it had been in a previous Quilt inc exposition in 2003 entitled Spirit and Strength - that exhibition had toured Europe. <br />She still had the images from that 10 year old exhibition, I guess - and asked for Flesh and Blood for the book. <br /><br />so that's pretty nice I think.Judy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-49572355383680280152014-08-05T07:58:13.562-04:002014-08-05T07:58:13.562-04:00Congratulations to be added in what is sure to be ...Congratulations to be added in what is sure to be a wonderful book. I love Lark publications. The couching on your quilt adds a new dimension. It's quite lovely and a very nice gesture on your part to loan it to the owners of 'Flesh and Blood' while it is in the exhibition.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013261733996949731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-53412515824397238202014-08-05T04:58:11.779-04:002014-08-05T04:58:11.779-04:00I notice that both details of Flesh and Blood are ...I notice that both details of Flesh and Blood are distorted a bit because of how they were photographed on the line. They are wonky looking but in reality, they are not like that. <br /><br />xJudy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.com
