Sunday again and here is another quilt from TCQC. This is one of twelve that I purchased in the last century. Doesn't that sound odd? I started collecting contemporary quilts (now called art quilts) in 1985 but didn't have a lot of extra money and then life got in the way for about a decade. So, all but twelve quilts have been added since 2000. This piece is one of the very early additions and I am still glad I bought it and enjoy having it hanging sometimes.
"Absolutes" Cynthia Corbin 1994 35"W x 56"L
Machine pieced and quilted. Cotton fabric, thread, batting.
I met Cynthia Corbin at Empty Spools Seminars at Asilomar. We were in a couple Ruth McDowell classes together in the early 1990s. I admired her work then and still do today, but have never added another of her quilts to the Collection. I believe this was started in one of Ruth's Symmetry classes and the "border" was added after Cynthia was home in her studio. I love the addition of brown in the border and those swirling "ribbons" pop out the center panel and add a lot of motion to the composition. Cynthia lives in the Seattle area.

Del, I am happy to learn about Cynthia Corbin. I read some of her posts and admire her rational thinking. Will look at more of her art.
