Here is another quilt that I admired from the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham UK. This portrait is based on a historic archival photo of the IS PAN, from a rural area of Poland. A young woman is mending a garment, while wearing an ornately embroidered traditional folk costume. Vintage photos of women sewing seem to capture our imagination and take us time-traveling. This piece invites us to step into this intimate scene with atmospheric natural light, in another place and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artist: Magdalena Gasowska
“Forgotten Stories- Women from Urzecze”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technique: Raw-edge applique, freemotion embroidery, acrylic & alcohol markers for fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Urzecze is a suburban micro-region neara Warsaw, whose material culture has almost completely disappeared. My family has lived here for generations. I decided to immortalize on a quilt, a girl in traditional folk costume from this region. I hope this will help preserve the heritage of my ancestors.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have uploaded this quilt image, and more quilts from the Birmingham show, on my photo page<\/a>s. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Floral border<\/a> is from the ‘Regalia’ collection by Aaron Martin)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
