I was honored to be asked by Riane to have my quilt #theglaciertwo included in her article about representational quilts for Curated Quilts magazine. This is the first publication I have had a quilt featured in and I’m so glad she thought to include my quilt.
Here is the statement that goes with my quilt:
This quilt is pieced with 14 cuts of fabric; representing the 14 named glaciers of Colorado. Linen, quilter’s cotton, and repurposed men’s dress shirts were used in specific quantities to depict the over 50% receding of Arapaho Glacier during the 20th century. The quilting design is the topography of the Arapaho Glacier area. The hand quilting was done using perle cotton 8. A metallic thread was used to machine quilt a grid inside the boundaries of the glacier, along with a white line of hand stitching around the glacier’s border.
