FLIGHT

Guest Curator - Sally Westcott

I have chosen to explore the many ways flight can be represented. It is not just birds!  Butterflies, beetles, hearts and angels.  Even violins!  Flight is liberating and the quilts I have selected express that freedom.

Using this quote, I was able to portray my neighborhood pigeons - some of my favorite models - to express my feeling about the creative spirit. My original photos have been combined, printed on fabric, then embellished with hand and machine stitching, additional piecing of commercial fabrics, applique, and couched yarns.
