This quilt was part of a project done by Charlotte Bird and a quilt making friend in which they randomly chose words from a dictionary and each created a small quilt to "illustrate" the word.  These exercises turned into a nice small exhibit in the Valya Gallery at Visions Art Museum several seasons ago. 

 

"Contortion"  Charlotte Bird - San Diego 2011 12"W x 13.5"L

Sun printing, machine piecing and applique, hand stitching.

Charlotte has used seed stitches and running stitch for the surface marking.

I am surprised there are no French knots as she is very fond of them.

Nice clear label with a signature and a CONTACT so someone can reach her to ask about other quilts she might have for sale. 

The blue here is deceptive - it is actually a dark blue marbled fabric.  I like it when the artist does not cover up the stitches on the back.  More authentic this way.  Hand stitched.
