| Description of Item |
Hanging By A Thread
Pepper Cory Width: 15" Length: 15" Materials/Techniques: All shot cottons from the Peppered Cottons collection by Studio E Fabrics. Threads are #16 and #12 Perle cotton by Presencia Thread. The batting is wool by Pellon. While the tiny blocks were sewn over tracing paper initially, after that step (paper was torn away) all other sewing was by hand. Handwork gives me the time to reflect and appreciate the process--call it meditation with a needle.
Artist Statement: This little crazy quilt is to honor my friend and writing collaborator Susan McKelvey. Together she and I wrote the book The Signature Quilt and I learned a great deal from Susan. When my husband and I moved to North Carolina, we bought our house from the McKelveys as well. Bless you Susan. Dedication: In honor of Susan McKelvey. This quilt has Fast Finish Triangles. Auction ends on November 10, 2013 at 10 p.m. (22:00 military time) Central Standard Time. Winners will be notified by email with payment instructions when the auction is over. Payment (Visa or MasterCard) is due by November 15th. Winners pay shipping via Priority Mail (calculated by weight and distance, from about $5.32 to $9.88), plus insurance and 6% sales tax (MI residents only). Please read descriptions carefully. Note quilt size. All sales are final. Email quilt questions to AlzQuilts@aol.com. Email bidding questions to Auction@BenefitBidding.com.
