eQuilter – Floral Fabric Clearance
| Today I had the honor and pleasure of spending the day at the Quilting Arts TV Studio. We filmed 2 segments that will air later this year. One of the topics that I covered was quilts from the recent Quilt Canada event in Vancouver BC. I am featuring another one of my favorite quilts from Canada, in today’s Creative Nudge e-newsletter. In the center of the collage image above, you will see the large and amazing detailed quilt by Sue Sherman, called “Dear Humans….” Her artist statement says: “The animals are sending a message to humans, offering their opinion about the state of things. Humans fill the sky with empty talk about addressing habitat loss and climate change, but don’t really do anything to help.” In Sue’s animal-themed quilt, the African animals are literally turning their backs on us, due to our lack of action on climate change and conservation issues. Today’s news is about the record-setting heat wave and how it is affecting humans, but of course it is affecting all living things in the scorching heat. It is not always reported that there are massive die-offs of fish, birds, plants and insects during these severe heat events. Take note: Does your news source cover this part of the story? Thursday Sophie and I are flying to Dulles Airport, to spend the next few days at the Sacred Threads event in Herndon Virginia. I am excited to see my latest quilt “Stardust Mothers” hanging in the show. Many thanks to Susan Brubaker Knapp and the Quilting Arts TV team for a great day in the studio!
