Quilt from 2011 in TCQC 08-01-21

I enjoy the Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) online auction each year and usually bid on half a dozen or more pieces.  There are now over 100 of the 12"X12" auction quilts in TCQC. Sometimes I just love the quilt, but sometimes I find something with a different technique or style.  And I always look at anything with a bird in it to add to the special 12"X12" bird collection.  The quilt below attracted me with the soft linear lines and the reflection.  I expected strips of fabric and was surprised that it was printed by Spoonflower and is basically a whole cloth quilt with a little beading.   I purchased this quilt from the SAQA online auction in 2011.and posted it on 06-24-12.  Below is a copy of that post.

  "Lake in the Woods" by Sandra Hart - Los Gatos, CA.   2011 12" x 12" 
Created digitally with Photoshop Elements.  Cotton fabric, beads.

This is a whole cloth quilt, printed on fabric with the row of stitched beads to indicate the water line. I almost didn't believe it until the quilt came in the mail.  The color in this image is off - it should be more green. 


Big label.  But no contact information.  Fortunately, Sandra has a website.


There is another Sandra Hart quilt on my Blog, one she showed in 2009 at Quilt Festival - Long Beach.

Thank you Del for sharing these lovely quilts. Since I've been a member of SAQA, I have had pleasant witness to the development of this wonderful organization and its fantastic fabric artists. Over the years, I've seen photos being printed and overlaid using paints, inks, all kinds of fibers. Its regular exhibits are always feast for the eyes and inspiration for the soul! Thank you for supporting SAQA and the many, many women and some men who are very talented and prolific in the designing and making of this fabulous art quilts. Take care.
