New quilt by Pamela Allen in TCQC 12-07-14

I greatly admire Pamela Allen's work and there are a number of her quilts in TCQC. 

This is a diversion from her usual work in that it doesn't have any embellishments, which makes me happy because it is easier to store. 

 

"Pillow Talk"  Pamela Allen - Kingston, Ontario, Canada  2014 40"W x 45"L

Cotton, velveteen, lace, perle cotton thread, cotton thread.

Hand and machine pieced, appliqued and quilted.

 

Pamela buys most of her fabric at thrift shops and I cannot tell what other fabric content might be included.  See how the hands are stitched with ladder stitch.

There are three frogs quilted in.  Pamela didn't have an explanation other than she just felt like adding them. 

Her hair is a blue on brown batik with long white straight stitches added.  His hair is solid black with white straight stitches added. 

Two fish swim up the lady's arm - one upside down!

Pamela heavily machine quilts her quilts and puts an extra layer of batting in some areas, such as the heads in this quilt.  This is a quilt that I will occasionally hang face to the wall, just to  enjoy the fabulously inventive quilting.

Here are the fish and one frog from the back.  Pamela has used variegated thread for the frogs.

Cherries are a repeating motif in her quilting.
