So a couple of posts ago, I shared with you the piece I was making for my Fiber Arts group, FANE's, Kimono Inspiration Exhibit at the Northern Stars Quilt Guild Show, World of Quilts, held the first weekend in May.
Well, I want to share with you not only my finished piece, but some of the other works of art as well, but since we have an exhibit opening soon, I will tease you with mine.... (details on the exhibit can be found below).
This is Pathways....
This was my piece. I must say I had so much fun with the piece, from design to adding the 'fringe' at the end. I am really happy that I joined the group, because they are really encouraging and since most don't focus on the machine quilting, it has opened my eyes on how to add texture to a piece with embellishments. So slowly but surely, I will be expanding past just crystals as surface embellishments :-). It is quilted with both Aurifil 50wt cotton and Superior Sew Fine and Art Studios threads.
There were 26 Kimonos in all and they really looked good on the stands that Jane and the team built. The quilts are designed to be hung on stands that allow you to see front and back of both the center piece, as well as he 'sleeves'. But they can also be hung on a wall, although you will only see one side of the Kimono.
Lucky for FANE, two different galleries are interested in hosting the exhibit of Kimonos. One in August and one in October. The first is a show at The Quilt Gallery at City Quilter. The exhibit runs from August 13 - 31, 2013, on 25th St, between 6th and 7th Ave., NYC. The Gallery is open Tuesday thru Saturday. All Kimonos will be for sale via The Quilt Gallery.
As information for the second exhibit draws near, I will share it with you as well.
Hope you like my Kimono and stop by the exhibit in NYC to see all 26!
