It is always fun to see how 2 artists handle a similar subject in their work. Here are two photos I took at the Quilt Festival in Houston… with a motorcycle theme<\/a>. <\/p>\n

On the left is Linda Anderson's piece: It is a tribute to her husband's dream of riding Route 66<\/a> on his motorcycle.<\/p>\n

On the right is Tonya Littmann's piece: It is essentially a self-portrait, with her favorite motorcycle.<\/p>\n

Linda's piece uses a light background that is densely quilted with lots of detail.<\/p>\n

Tonya's portrait has a hand-painted stripe background.<\/p>\n

Both use high contrast to create an eye-popping composition, but in totally different ways. Both use a "posterized" version of an image, to translate a photo to a collage of applique<\/a>d pieces.<\/p>\n

We have our first few videos up from Houston!<\/a> Watch for several videos to be posted here<\/a> in the next week.<\/p>\n

I'll be writing to you from Churchill in Canada on Saturday. The polar bears have gathered outside Churchill and are waiting for the ice to freeze. <\/p>\n

Weds night I'll be meeting with the Manitoba Prairie Quilters in Winnipeg, and admiring the raffle quilt they made from eQuilter fabrics!<\/p>\n

sharing your Passion for Fabric…
