Spent last week in NYC for work. We started each day at 7:30 and went until 9 most nights. It was an intense and productive week of work. But highlighted by quilts!
I did get to the City Quilter. And I saw an exhibit by one of my quilting heroes, Lisa Call.
a.m.a.z.i.n.g.
Rich, velvety colors. And stitch detail to die for.
Stuctures #115, my favorite
Detail of Structures #115. Look at the stitches!
I have been a fan and follower of Lisa's for several years now. She posts a lot about treating art as business, which is so crucial to success.
She and talks about taking care of yourself in order to make art. (I need to learn this lesson!)
Lisa is so strong at working in a series. Each of the quilts was unique, yet they hung together as a beautiful, cohesive group. No, these are not ALL the quilts! Go, see the show!
I found these quilts to have a very strong, quiet presence. Beautiful, just beautiful.
My pictures do not do the quilts justice. (Lisa granted me permission to post my photos of her quilts. Thanks Lisa!)
The show runs through October 20.
A beautiful post Kelly - thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love Lisa's work as well.
