Quilts

On the Edge of Silence 2016

For the 2016 CQ challenge, size 100cm x 60 cm. The edge consists of pages of Roget's Thesaurus, woven and machine stitched: behind is a double layer of baking parchment, loosely hand stitched. I was thinking about how words can fail us, both in emotional situations and due to dementia.

The size was 12"x6". These consist of synthetic fabric, gathered and steamed (to hold the gathers). Pieces of fabric were appliqued before gathering, and/or joined on a background afterwards.
