2006 Journal QuiltPages

The Journal QuiltPages project was proposed by Karey Bresenhan, Director of the International Quilt Festival. It was to be "a free-form exercise in creativity, specifically planned to encourage quilt artists to stretch and grow." The project was open only to members of the QuiltArt list and each participant chose five QuiltPages to display at the 2006 IQF show.
For the 2006 Journal QuiltPages, I continued my experiments of using traditional printmaking techniques for printing on fabric. To provide continuity throughout the nine months, I decided to "slice-and-dice" a picture of my daughter. Each image was printed on multiple fabrics, cut apart, fused back together, and free-motion quilted. All quilts presented here are hand printed on commercially printed, 100% cotton. The first five quilts were displayed at the 2006 International Quilt Festival.
