Fibre Art Pieces for sale

 In expectation of selling our house, my fibre art pieces must find new homes. Most of the newer pieces have been disposed of, leaving some older pieces of which I've always been especially fond.  I've prepared a detailed list of these, in no particular order.  Please give me a call if you see any that speak to you.  Prices are always negotiable.

1. "Fantasy Flowers" This is the very first hanging I ever made as a specifically "art quilt".  It is 32" by 29".  All of the flowers and leaves were hand made and appliqued.    

Suggested price: SOLD





2"Blue and Yellow Shibori"  26" by 301/2"   Shibori is a dyeing technique with a lengthy history in Japan.  It's very labour intensive but can produce stunning results.  As the fibre is often tied into bundles before dyeing, the image of the thread used to tie the bundles often becomes part of the pattern. I usually make my 
Shibori-dyed fabric into fibre collages that are then fairly intensively machine quilted.

Suggested Price  $175




3. Blue and Pink Shibori   25" by 36"

    Another Shibori piece demonstrating a different selection of Shibori techniques.





Suggested Price  $175

4. Purple Shibori  22" by 32"  This relies on even more Shibori techniques, this time using one technique on top of another and then adding leaf prints.

Suggested Price $150
    


    5. Soft Orange Shibori    10" by 29"  More Shibori but in softer colours and with the addition of subtle delicate beading along with the leaf prints.

Suggested Price  $125






6.  Spring Tree  22 1/2 by 33"  The tree is appliqued onto hand dyed fabric, as are the small spring leaves, the word Spring, and the Celtic runes. The machine quilting required constant colour changes.  Translation of the runes is available.

Suggested Price   $300                                                                                








7. Damask Leaves  18 1/4" by 29 1/4"  The leaves are cut from hand dyed and machine quilted cotton Damask before being individually beaded around the edge.  They are then loosely attached to a pieced, hand dyed cotton background.

Suggested Price  SOLD




8. Blue Maple  17" by 24 1/2"   Individual leaves are fused to a machine quilted, pieced cotton background.

Suggested Price  SOLD





9. Future Perspective  35 3/4" by 23 1/2"  The message here is that the future of the Canadian Prairies is in the North.  All three Prairie Provinces are represented--the mountains and Dry lands of Alberta, the farm fields of Saskatchewan, and Manitoba with The Forks and the edge of the Canadian Shield.

Suggested Price  $300











 10. "Beneath the Sea"  13" by 18"  This fully finished piece is a little different. While it's not a quilted piece it represents my other love-- hand embellishment. The stitched area is done over a piece of hand made silk paper.

Suggested price  $50

11. "Joy"  21 by31 1/2   I'm thinking of re-naming it "Exuberance".  Again this came out of my experimentation with a new technique--thickened dye,  This is the most recently created, and one of my very favourite.

Suggested Price $165







12. Resurrection   16 3/4" by 26"  This piece uses altered Tyvek and fairly dense beading over hand dyed fabric.  All the materials used are left over from other projects, hence the name.

Suggested Price  SOLD




13. School Days  25" by 16" The fish were hand painted on cotton, and were then cut out and appliqued to hand dyed cotton.   The whole piece was then covered with pale green organza, and machine quilted.

Suggested Price   SOLD




That's it Folks.  Give me a call or e-mail if you see something that interests you.

Laundry Day

 Today was busy with laundry, but this also meant that I could work in the studio while monitoring the laundry's progress.  I recently made the decision to continue a year long studio purge, but not in the sense of cleaning out and throwing away.  So what do I really want to do?  I discovered three potential projects for which I have purchased supplies, but which have then been carefully tucked away for consideration when time permits.  Two of these projects have been around for years.  Well, the three projects are now at the top of my "to do" list, and two of the three are "in progress".  Today, I was a little "under the weather", so worked slowly and steadily on the quilt top for one of the four baby quilts I'm making to give to each of my almost adult grandchildren for their first born child. While I certainly have enough fabric, purchased several years ago, I'm not so sure that I'll have enough to complete the fourth and last quilt. Any...

Visiting the past

  The ladies of my Wednesday group have been encouraging me to make some pot holders or placemats in preparation for the fall craft show.  Initially my reaction was horror, as that's the way I started entering sales and shows almost 30 years ago.  But on further thought I figured "why not"? I have fabric, I have experience and some skill, and there is no need for me to fill more than the corner of a table in order to be able to become part of the event. So I started some pot holders, buying some Insil-Brite to provide some insulation from heat, and choosing some colour-matched fabric to work on.  I agonized over what size to make and settled on 7" square.  Got everything cut and started cutting, then some simple machine quilting and sewed the first thing together.  A nice thick, firm pot holder.  Too bad my sewing machine started to complain when I tried to add binding.  Just not going to work. So back to the planning stage.  I read the instr...
