As I check through the records for the Collection I have found a number of quilts that I have not posted on this Blog. I made a list, but now I can't locate the list. So, I will have to make a new list. I do remember this the two Bodil quilts I purchased at the SAQA 2007 online auction had not been shown.
"Lady With a Mug" Bodil Gardner - Denmark 12"x12" 2007
Mostly cotton fabric. Machine appliqued and quilted.
I always enjoy Bodil's quilts and have previously posted one that was at PIQF (check the sidebar for her name). She has such a sense of whimsy and an eye for color.
The satin stitch applique is rough, but fits the subject matter.
Great baggie eyes and pop out ears. And notice the fabrics she uses for eyelids, bags and under nose. And the yellow edge for the aqua hair. Her work is very different and very special.
A very plain back and a very plain label. She did not title this quilt, so I did.
