Superhero Quilts from Houston

We have posted our first video from Houston – the Sapphire Blue Quilt exhibit. When you have 8 minutes to relax, enjoy this spatial tour of this gorgeous installation.
Feel free to share!

Here are photos from Houston Quilt Festival, if you’d like to study these in more detail.

The world needs more Superheroes, which is why these hero archetype franchise movies just keep coming…we especially love the ones with Super Females! Being the nerd that I am, I was super excited about the ComicCon-inspired quilt exhibit in Houston this year. Many of the pieces in this section celebrated Girl Power, including characters from pop culture, movies, etc.

n I am showing you 2 of the quilt details here, along with female superhero fabrics at eQuilter now.

The top left is “Okoye – Wakanda Warrior” by Laurie Ceesay Landree.

Artist Statement: After watching the movie “Black Panther” I was inspired to make a portrait quilt of Okoye, the General of the Dora Milaje female warriors who protect the Black Panther. I was intrigued by the bald head and the beautiful costume she wore.

The lower right is “Elements of the Universe” by Carolyn Crump, Earamichia Brown, and Michelle Flamer.

Artist statement: A desire to create bold strong women superheroes, we all agreed that we wanted to represent and protect the Earth. Terra, Cyclona, and Cinder united in their desire to save the earth from the destructive impact of climate change, join forces to harness the Elements of the Universe: Earth Wind and Fire.

Did you see my announcement Saturday about speaking at the World Wilderness Congress in Jaipur India?
