Southern California Comtemporary Quilts Part 2 12-16-20

Charlotte Bird's multi-panel work is in the center of the large gallery.  It is fascinating and deserves extra time to look at all the details.  She covers the scenes of SCalifornia with great artistry.  18" high X 22" wide for each panel X a total length of 102"





I always admire the work of Kathleen McCabe and there are several of her quilts in TCQC.  This one is soooo California.  48"L X 32"wide

This detail of the flowers in the foreground shows her fine control of her quilting. 

See the people and the light poles out on the pier - just shadows. Color isn't very good in this photo, it is much  brighter. 

Nancy Lemke's quilt is another salute to the coast.  21"L X 32"W


Notice the crocheted doily representing a sea star and there are hand embroidered sea urchins scattered throughout.
And tiny white fish flowing across the tidepool. I like the borders only top and bottom, leaving the water to flow out on each side.

I love these quilts...such talented quilters/artists and the subject matter is way past what I remember my guild sharing. Art quilts are just a fabulous outlet for many very creative, artistic and talented quilters.
