Welcome Home....

I've always thought of my quilts as friends, I certainly spend enough time with them, embrace them and put lots of time and love into making them. It usually takes me a while to part with them, especially the bigger ones. At some point though, like a baby bird leaving the nest, I'm ready to let go.

This piece was created for an exhibit featuring black and white in any medium - pottery, jewelry, fiber etc. The inspiration for this piece came from a drawing my son did. For my fabric interpretation, I used pointellist fabric, pigma pens and sharpies to create the dotted and shaded areas. The piece is framed which I thought it needed. Some have asked if this is the real piece or a drawing. It is a photo of the real piece. All pieces were made by the members of the Southern Highland Craft Guild. This piece - The Flute Player had the opportunity to be part of an exhibit in Washington, D.C. -The Appalachian Regional Commission Headquarters. It was available for purchase and I was honored to have it included; the only downside -  it was away for a long time - over a year. It just returned home.
So welcome home - so good to see you again.
