Pamela Allen is well represented in the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection. I think her work is great and enjoy seeing it on my walls. After I posted the latest addition "Ellys in Malawi" I was showing my art quilt group some of the other pieces in TCQC. And I thought I would share them with you.
The Cherry Picker Pamela Allen 2005 20"W x 25"L
This is the first of Pamela's quilts I purchased at an online auction in 2006. I was surprised when it arrived that the cherries are actual round, hard cherries that hang by their plastic stems. Her hand is a glove that Pamela cut out and the eyes she printed on fabric and cut out. The applique is all hand done and many of the fabrics are from the 2nd hand store. You can see what I said about this piece in 2009 at this page:
"Watching TV in Bed" Pamela Allen 2014 9.5"W x 7.5"L
This is a tiny piece, only 10"W X 7.5"L. It hangs in the guest bedroom, where I do my PTherapy exercises, and it always makes me smile at the memory of my late husband.
Here is what I said about it when I purchased it:
