Perhaps is some areas this happens, but for the most part, from what I observed at World of Threads - she pieces a large cloth and then backs it with another cloth - but does not attach those two cloths together.<br /><br />that is what I mean by not quilted much. The quilting stitch is different than the construction of the top.<br />xJudy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-21589211669303288192014-11-15T14:16:57.512-05:002014-11-15T14:16:57.512-05:00I am touched by Victoria Carley's works too.

So much red tape (and cost) for entrepreneurs who want to start something and give proper honour to the artists who participate. <br /><br />The sheer amount of excellent work in the World of Threads festival is mind boggling however. Artists want to communicate with their artwork, and this venue gives them that opportunity.Judy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-77271369341319028452014-11-12T15:11:50.749-05:002014-11-12T15:11:50.749-05:00I went to this show yesterday and it was INCREDIBL...I went to this show yesterday and it was INCREDIBLE. <br /><br />Seeing your Manitoulin panels in person was just...I was in awe. So much texture...so much beautiful stitching...masterful use of colour. Judy, I was in awe. Seeing the details in person was breathtaking, and inspiring. I loved seeing how you incorporated so much lovely found fabric and lace into those pieces. The small amount of blue beads on one of the panels was the perfect touch, and it's one of those details that I didn't catch from just seeing the pictures on your blog. <br /><br />I thought it was a masterfully curated show. I was introduced to many artists whose work I marveled at. Lindy Fyfe's gorgeous pieces resonated with me too, thanks for sharing some pictures.<br /><br />I'll be going back to that exhibit - it's too beautiful to take in only once - and I'm also planning to visit the other locations. What a terrific show! magicmoonmusingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255246775296758927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-43026576315760624702014-11-12T13:54:23.126-05:002014-11-12T13:54:23.126-05:00Thanks for sharing these images.

I was going to enter this show but balked at the fee being asked just to enter - American style. Wish there was more support from the CC, although I'm sure they would if they had any money.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17188002198879523397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-64084174383466835772014-11-12T12:03:55.792-05:002014-11-12T12:03:55.792-05:00Maybe if I stop trying (or at least, don't try...Maybe if I stop trying (or at least, don't try so hard) I might receive a revelation, some kernel of insight as to how to <i>see</i> what these artists see...not so I can emulate it or copy in any way, but so I can better understand, and perhaps learn to <i>see</i> my world differently so I can express it more deeply.
