My 9 x 9" piece is titled "She Has Everything She Needs". It's a take off on Picasso's Woman with Guitar. Constructed with fused applique with zig zag around the applique, some thread painting for the woman's outline, and heavy background quilting. Fast and fun! I even fused the binding on.
Comments welcome!

Cynthia, this is very fun! I like how you've outlined the figure in white thread work. It is very effective!
ReplyDeleteThe top left of the piece (tan and white area) looks quite vacant and almost attracts some attention because of that. I'm wondering if anyone else may notice this.
In any case, you've done a very nice job imitating Picasso!
What a lovelt quilt. As Cay states the figure looks very Picasso-esque.
ReplyDeleteDoes the title imply that you have all that you need. Just wondering?

Your work is always amazing.... I think the subtitle could be "Have Bernina (or insert fav brand), Conquer the world!"
ReplyDeletevery nice Cynthia! This is how I feel, give me my machine and some fabric and I have everything I need :-)I also like the white outlining on the woman...about the upper (my left) corner,,maybe a clock cause we ALL need time to do what we really want..lol
ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia - I like how much is communicated with a very few shapes and a limited color palette. It's all about the white stitching. Love all the heavy background quilting too.

Cynthia, your pieces are always so amazing. Love your woman in the 'outline' ... a good example of line drawing??
ReplyDeleteAnd you fused it all? Even the binding?? Wow! From my 'traditional' roots, I would not have thought of that. Hey, do I see some liberation coming my way???
Your quilting is very effective and I rather like the 'negative' space in the upper left.
Great job!

Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteVery interesting interpretation of of yourself. I can imagine you make very beautiful music with your chosen instrument. Very simple lines give quite an elegant effect. I like this one very much. Joni
You picked a good substitute for a guitar. A sewing machine makes it's own brand of music.. Fun piece.
