Just before the Sciatica struck me I had driven down to Oceanside Museum of Art to see the exhibit of quilts by Southern California artists. And I did take pictures, but was not able to sit at the computer to post any of them. So, I am going to start posting them so you can see at least part of the exhibit. The museum is closed again due to the Virus and who knows when it will re-open. If you are in the area you could stop by to shop in the museum store which is currently featuring "Tiny Art" - five inch square pieces donated by artists of every ilk and ready to use for stocking stuffers or just a regular tiny gift. Lots of high quality jewelry, bowls, scarves, cards, etc. for your gift selection.
This measures 58"L X 38"W. The background is a solid piece of hand-dye (I think) that has been in my fabric library for years. I knew it would find the proper place one day. All of the quilts I make have a bird in them somewhere - as part of the design, in the quilting, on the back, on the label, wherever I can squeeze one in. There are several birds in the trunks of the trees.
This measures 38.5L X 27.5W. What an appropriate subject for this hot year.
More to come in future posts.
