I love squared illusions! Would love to see it closer up to see how it's made.

Well, I'm going to be a stinker/party pooper and say I'm disappointed. I
don't care for Hollis Chatelain's work- a very, very talented artist but no...... I think that 'quilt' is more a painting than a quilt- and the quilting is far secondary to the painted 'picture' on the fabric quilt top. I would be much more impressed if it was applique rather than painted. Sorry. I guess I'm just an ol' grump. And, no, I am not against some painted areas on a quilt (that is not meant for use on a bed) for the purpose of enhancing the quilt, but when the whole thing is painted and then quilted? Nope. Sorry..... that painting belongs on a canvas with a wood frame around.

Now this one is: http://www.quilts.com/fqf07/enVivo/S...Dance.jpg.html It is totally amazing. I have no idea (totally clueless) as to how it was made, but gosh, it's amazing. I guess I'm a simpleton. To me, quilting means using lots of bits of fabric to create something... adding embellishments is one thing entirely different (at least in my mind) to painting. J, opinionated tonight.

Picture do not even begin to do justice to Hollis Chatelain's quilts. She
had a quilt exhibited the year I went to the Houston show. I walked back by it several times it was so striking. There is a lot of quilting in her quilts - as I said pictures don't do her quilts justice! Donna in Idaho "Leslie & The Furbabies in MO." wrote in message ...

There is just no way a photo will even begin to do them justice. They're simply stunning. Most of the "paint" is thread. I knew this year's winner was her work before I saw the name! Ms P |

And what would you say if you knew the "paint" was mostly thread?? Applique
is easy compared to what she does. Ms P "Leslie & The Furbabies in MO." wrote in message ... Well, I'm going to be a stinker/party pooper and say I'm disappointed.

When I saw Miss Chaelain's winning quilt at Houston a
few years ago, I was under the distinct impression that the motifs were nearly all painted. There was lots of excellent quilting, but I thought the quilting was there to accent the motif, not to supply the motif. The quilt I saw is the one that features how water affects environment. It was mainly taupe and golden colored. I can't speak about the composition of the current show quilt. I do think it is beautiful art, but I prefer quilt exhibits to feature art that is mainly based on use of fibers and some embellishment.
