This is another 12"X12" quilt I purchased at the silent auction held during the Sip, Savor and Stroll fundraiser at Visions Art Museum last week. This was an entry into the Hand Dyed challenge, but there are also indications of the Sue Benner workshop held at the museum earlier this year.
"Blue Bird of Happiness" Deb Mackay 2014 12"X12"
Hand-dyed cotton fabric, fused, machine quilted.
The tying off "tassels" on the corners are a Sun Benner technique.
I like the layers of different shapes - it almost looks 3 dimensional.
Love the blue feathers. Notice the overcast edge done in different colored threads.
No actual label, just identified in long hand on the backing fabric.
Deb is a dyer and does a lot of marbling, this may have been from her earlier years of dyeing.
