This is a Quilt - Part II
I purchased three of the samples from SAQA's 2011 trunk show and showed two at:

Tonight I am showing the other two pieces.
Pamela Allen did not name this piece, but since I have a problem with untitled items in TCQC I have named it "Knotted". I suppose it could be "depth" or "dimension" or "corded" or "recycled", but knotted came into my head first.

I think Pamela's work is amazing. How does she just sit down with scissors, fabric, and thread and come up with such interesting images and techniques? There are six or seven of her quilts in the Collection and I treasure every one of them.

How many times have you heard me say I don't buy quilts that need to be boxed separately - that cannot be rolled? Well, sometimes I do. I have another piece by Susan Else which resides in a dedicated box when not on the wall. Sometimes I can't resist something that "speaks" to me.

This came from SAQA in the Lucite box - very cleverly held upright by tiny holes in the bottom through which stitches are taken into the lady's posterior. I will keep her in the box, somehow it seems appropriate.
There are four views here, one into each side of the box.

Susan is very good at getting realistic body language into her work. Love the hair.
