Quilts from the 2019 SAQA Auction 12-04-19

Here are the final three of the eleven quilts I purchased from the SAQA 2019 auction.   I have included the comments made by the makers on the auction page.  You can see all the quilts listed alphabetically by maker's name at:


"Whimsy"  Cathy Heeter - Granger, Indiana   12"X12"
Random pieced black and white background. Improvisational raw edged collage of commercial fabrics.
Del sez:  I love the whimsy of this very original quilt.  Such verve!  Black and white with ORANGE and blue, how could it go wrong. 


"Bike in Belize"  Kathleen McCabe - Coronado, CA     12"X12"
Machine pieced and appliquéd, fused, then raw edge appliquéd and machine quilted. 
Del sez:  Kathleen told me this is inspired by a picture taken by a relative visiting Belize.  The color is so exciting and the slightly out of line trend is so interesting. 


"Butterflies on Bush Clover"  Karen Miller - Corvallis, OR
Katazome with artist's hand cut stencil, rice paste resist and indigo dye.
Del sez:  There is another Karen Miller quilt in the Collection, you can click on her name in the sidebar to see it.   I am so impressed with her skill at Katazome, each fine line she has cut into mulberry stencil material gives an individual mark unlike what anyone else could do.  And working with her own indigo dye is an art all of its own.  I like to include different techniques in TCQC.
