Here is one of Sue Benner's pieces in the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection. I purchased it in 2010 from the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles auction.
"Checks and Bars Jumble" - Sue Benner, Texas - 11"square.
"Reclaimed" fabric in silk, cotton, poly, hand-dyes, commercial cotton.
Sue is a genius at reclaiming fabric from her own projects, second hand clothing, scraps from students, anything and everything. What vibrant color she has put into this "jumble" to make a bright square of color on my wall. The quilting is not "matchsticks", but more match boxes a-kilter. Great little treasure.
This picture shows her signature knotted tassels at each corner. I am always fearful that some tidy person will take their scissors and trim off the tassels! Part of her class instruction is how she achieves the multi-color satin stitch edging and these tight corner knots.
Here is the back with the title and her signature in gold paint.
