Hope you all had a Happy New Year in the manner you chose. Ours was very quiet and not many fireworks, probably because it was raining pretty hard at midnight. It is amazing how quickly the grass and weeds pop up and turn the brown hillsides and fields a bright green. Smells good, too!
Here is another Sara Sharp quilt from the SAQA Auction. I posted her 2022 quilt "Stilts" on December 11, 2022. This one is from the SAQA 2021 online auction. She does the birds very well so I always look for more of her donations to add to the Collection.
"It's an Ibis!" Sara Sharp - Texas 2021 12"X12"
Commercial cotton fabrics, cotton and rayon threads.
Machine pieced and quilted, thread painting.
I think the water is especially effective, but Sara's thread painting is very good. Look at that great eye.
There is even a watery backing fabric and tidy regular facing.
Nice computer printed label which includes several ways to contact the artist.
The contacts are important. Recently there was a post on the SAQA site from an artist in Europe who recovered stolen quilts after years (I think it was seven). That would not happen if there is no contact written on the label.
