//MANKIND//* A color explosion comprised of fabrics from America, Indonesia, Australia and Africa. This one of a kind quilt has two hanging sleeves so that it can be hung either horizontally or vertically. It measures 30" wide and 41 1/2" long. I choose fabrics from designers like Hoffman, Kaffe Fassett, Timeless Treasures, SSI, Heide Stoll-Weber, Michael Miller, Robert Kaufman, and incorporate top quality varietals: hand painted fabrics, hand dyes, screen prints, batiks, calicoes, tie dyes, solids—mostly 100% cotton—plus brocades, sateens and sparklers. I individually selected and incorporated into this quilt, up to100+ different fabrics. From yardage, I hand cut the fabrics randomly into increasingly wide and narrow pieces, long and short, and sew them together by machine as inspired, not by pattern, and then border them with complementary fabrics. I hand quilt (7-10 spi) the quilt face to the batting and th e back fabric selected specifically for each quilt. Each quilt is individually fashioned, no two exactly alike even within the same color pallette. Each is a one-of-a-kind creation that vary by a) the choices of textures and patterns in fabrics employed, b) the placement of the fabrics in juxtaposition, c) the color combinations and shadings, and d) the style and colors of the border fabrics.

Sandy also made a quilt for her son. The majority of these fabrics she got on a trip to Australia, and she spotted a shadow box quilt at the Heritage Park quilt display, and decided that was a perfect way to showcase these fabrics. She drafted a pattern on her graph paper and this is the fabulous result. I quilted this with a wavy spiral, it almost looks topographical. I thought it paired well with the graphic designs on the fabrics.

Hmmmm!!! I'm not sure this photo does the fabrics justice? I sought out fabrics that would lend themselves to fussy-cutting but not really sure how to piece them together. Finally, I came up with this... I might have to upload another couple of photos so we can all see some of the great fabrics that are in it... These 2 shots are taken from the top and bottom, hopefully, they show more of the fabrics and techniques used. In between the fussy-cuts are rows comprising of half-squares, diamond-in-a-square, Arlington Braid and a row of 2" squares by 2 rows - just to add some variation to an otherwise plain quilt.

Details Artwork Artist Returns + Shipping Details Artist - Mary Anne Nampijinpa Michaels Community - Nyirripi Art Centre/Community organisation - Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation Catalogue number - 48/10ny Materials - Acrylic on linen Size(cm) - H107 W76 D2 Postage variants - Artwork posted un-stretched and rolled for safe shipping Artwork The subject of this work is Lappi Lappi, a rock hole near Lake Hazlett, about 90 km northwest of Lake Mackay in Western Australia. The country belongs to Nampijinpa/Jampijinpa and Nangala/Jangala skin groups. Located in a sheltered basin, the rock hole at Lappi Lappi is a permanent source of water, and is surrounded by country rich in bush tucker. In the time of the Jukurrpa (Dreamtime) many mothers with young children would gather there because it was a safe place to stay. The rock hole at Lappi Lappi is home to a ‘warnayarra’, a rainbow serpent that travels underground between various rock holes. One day, women were gathered at the rock hole with their children, singing and dancing. When the ‘warnayarra’ heard the sound of voices, it travelled silently towards them, under the water. When it reached the edge of the rock hole, it rose out of the water and ate them all. Artist Mary Anne Nampijinpa Michaels was born in 1935, in the bush near Lappi Lappi Rock, an area located on Mount Doreen Station, an extensive cattle breeding station in NT of Australia. Mount Doreen is located between Yuendumu, a remote Aboriginal community 290 km north-west of Alice Springs and Nyirripi, 160 km north-west of Yuendumu. Mary Anne received a traditional Aboriginal education, that is, going bush with her parents and learning all about her country, its creation stories, its features and the flora and fauna that habited the land. She had four children, one son and three daughters, who also live in Nyirripi. Mary Anne had many grandchildren. Mary Anne painted with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation, from 2005 - 2012. Warlukurlangu Artists is an Aboriginal owned and governed art centre located in Yuendumu, and has been providing the residents of Nyirripi with materials to paint since 2005. Mary Anne painted her Father’s Jukurrpa stories, Dreamings relating directly to Lappi Lappi, her land, its features and the plants and animals that inhabit it. These stories were passed down to her by her father and mother and their parents before them for millennia. Her work was been included in numerous exhibitions of Aboriginal Art both nationally and internationally. When not painting or telling her stories to her grandchildren Mary Anne spend a lot of her time hunting. She died in September 2012 Returns + Shipping We realise that it's not always easy buying artworks sight unseen but we are so confident that you're going to absolutely love them when they turn up that if for any reason you change your mind or you're not feeling the feng shui you can return them within 14 days for a full refund. We happily provide free registered post on all of our paintings within Australia and $30 for international postage.

My 2 friends came over to sew yesterday and that was the push I needed to make the decisions about the border on this quilt. I decided a random order of the color sections was the way to go. I was able to get 4 matching corner blocks out of a large print African fabric. This is my favorite of all of the quilts I have made from this group of fabrics. I will try to round up all of the photos and make a collage of my African fabric quilts. After I finished that top I went back to unpicking loops for the bottom half of the Australian fabric Trip Around the World. Then last night I sewed the center seam on 12 strips and sewed them together, one long seam from top to bottom. This quilt should finish around 62" x 78". I just wanted a large couch size quilt. I am thinking about teaching this TAW class again locally (Sandwich IL). If you live anywhere near me and are interested, email me here. I have a special rate for anyone who has taken the class before and wants to participate. I am hoping to teach it in November and again in January.

Jean Baptiste Apuatimi, Tiwi Islands The exposure of Aboriginal art to the West had its inception at the aboriginal community of Papunya in the Western Desert of Central Australia. Just like the vivid wildflowers that fill the local ochre terrain in the middle of winter, their art was a rare juxtaposition adapted from the Australian landscape. Although the indigenous art was originally developed for body painting, bark & cave art and ceremonial ground paintings, once the Papunya artists were introduced to canvas and tube paints in the 60's, they quickly adapted to the new medium. Many of the key
