Friday night I was delighted to attend the opening reception of the Biennial Men’s Exhibit at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum (RMQM) in Golden. I had to go back on Monday to photograph the show, because the party was so crowded! (See my blog<\/a> from Saturday)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I reviewed my photos, this quilt stood out. The lighting in the museum really showed off the stitching in this marvelous improvisational curve-pieced abstract design, by Carl Brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl has been sewing and quilting for 5 years, and managed to get this beautiful quilt into this juried show, despite being a relative newbie. He named this piece “To Paradise” – perhaps he is inspired by his residence in Palm Springs. It has that vibe, right? We also give credit to Becky McCoy who machine quilted this beautiful piece!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artist says:
“This fiber art started with one curved piece and grew into a quilt with planets, water, plants, mountains and rays of light and dark depict what the entrance of paradise might look like. This was my first attempt at improvisational piecing where I allowed the art to simply emerge and colors truly rule!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bravo Mr. Brown.
We expect to see more of your work in the coming months and years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Men’s Exhibit, and Christine Copenhaver’s Necktie Quilts, are on exhibit at RMQM through April 20. If you live near Golden, or are passing through, I urge you to stop in and enjoy these 2 new exhibits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
