A collaboration with a young artist
I have embroidered LOL onto this vintage quilt block. I inherited many such blocks from a relative. I have been trying to use them in a way that honours her and my own artistic expression. I think Aunt Pat would like this one.
I will be swapping this one with a young artist who is about to graduate. Her grad show will consist of a photograph of her own piece hung beside a piece she swapped for it. She is making a piece every day for I am not sure how long and then swapping it for a piece that responds to it. The piece that I am responding to is a vintage hanky. She embroidered the word panky on it. Thus my response is LOL. Fun!
This project has got me thinking about words a little more. I love words even though I tend to use them sparingly. I am wanting to start a new project in which I embroider words onto something. At this moment I am thinking about using an unfinished quilt top. I have started making a list of the words I want to use.
