I find myself sometimes tending towards representation but trying to pull myself away from it, as I contemplate quilting projects. This story quilt, and Spellbinder are equally fascinating on their own, aside from being quilts, and to me they have the hallmarks of "art" though I am not sure I can articulate what I think those are! At any rate, they are authentic and unique to their makers, maybe those would be two attributes I'd look for in an art piece. Thank you for sharing the quilts from this show, and your opinions about them, it has been quite interesting. If I every get up the gumption to put my own stuff out there, I suppose I'll quickly find out who else besides me things I'm an artist!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07064704260223262652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-84569401103249041132015-06-01T14:12:39.547-04:002015-06-01T14:12:39.547-04:00Wow!

Mine different from yours..but I hope that the art draws us together ~whatever our stories maybe. I enjoyed your talk at the SAQA symposium, and great to see every one's quilts and the artists together. Many happy stitches to you.Lorie McCownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547535852495946304noreply@blogger.com
