Our member, Cathy, while on a world trip, brought back several yards of fabric. That yardage was cut up, put into packages and presented to our group. Along with studying various topics this year, we have been challenged to create a fibre art piece that reflects the theme of WATER.
Here is a picture of the fabric that we were given.
The lower left fabric is a tri-colour cotton from New Zealand. The multi-coloured one sitting on top of the others is a linen that was hand stamped from South Africa. That lovely emerald green is a shot silk from Hong Kong and the final blue fabric in the upper left is a silk paisley from India.
All of the fabrics were purchased in countries that are bordered by an ocean, hence the theme: WATER.
Were there any other restrictions you may ask. Just one: the quilts created are to be no larger than 150 inches in perimeter. We can if we choose add value and contrast with other fabrics, or NOT. That decision is optional. Let's see what the group creates. You'll have to check here in late summer to see some of the results.
