17. "Vintage Snowflake" Linda Schiffer Columbia, Maryland |
| Cotton fabrics, wool batting, cotton and metallic threads, antique lace, hand-tatted snowflake, glass beads and sequins. |
| Perhaps the one aspect of quilt making I enjoy the most is the opportunity to be creative and original with my designs. I love making crazy quilts because the framework of traditional design is so open-ended. Like writing sonnets, making a crazy quilt block is an exercise in creativity. I enjoy every phase of piecing, machine and hand embroidery, beading and embellishment! The tatted snowflake on my entry was made by a friend - - I enjoyed finding her small “errors” and variations in the work as I beaded the entire motif. I quilted the background in one of the most common prehistoric symbols for the sun because the most dazzling sight I’ve known is the flash of morning sunlight on new-fallen snow. |
