Quilt National report 5 -- representation

I generally don't like representational quilts, since I think it's difficult to depict real things in the fabric medium.  But I'm always on the lookout for fiber artists who do a good job with this problematic assignment.  Here are my awards for representational work:

Best artist likeness:  Alice Beasley herself, with Alice Beasley on her quilt

Alice Beasley, Entre Nous

Best animal likeness:

Carol Goossens, The Conversation

Best Fauvist painting likeness:

Jean Evans, My Space

  2. I love Alice's necklace! It looks like she picked up part of your Spaghetti Sauce and hung it around her neck.

  4. Jean Evans' quilt was made entirely by hand -- and rather than applique the pieces to a ground, she simply appliqued them to each other, which I found extraordinary. Glad you liked it!
