This post is from almost eight years ago. I still find this quilt fascinating - such complex simplicity. And it seems like a suitable post in mid-winter 2018.
Quilt from TCQC by Els Vereycken 02-13-11
This is the last of the quilts that I added to the TCQC during the Studio Art Quilt Associates online auction last autumn 2010
"Winter" Els Vereycken 2010 12" x 12"
Gray ink/paint on white cotton with black stitching.
A very plain back. I suspect Els used a fabric from her "fabric library" that she didn't think she would ever use on the front of a quilt. Notice that she turned up the bottom half inch of the image on the front of the quilt.
I was attracted to this piece because of the simplicity of the design and execution. It is one of those works that is so striking from a distance and pulls me in closer to see the detail.
Els lives in Belgium, but doesn't have a website that I can find. But here are a few websites that show some of her quilts. http://www.quiltingdaily.com/media/p/15682.aspx http://www.howoriginal.net/Snowflakes/artist_pages/els_vereycken.htm http://www.quiltingdaily.com/media/p/2836.aspx
