Artist Irene Roderick is one of those people whose kindness and warmth is unmistakable. And when I see Roderick’s work, I don’t think of quilts. Through blocks of color and lines, she does with fabric that which I can only imagine paint or pencil being able to do. Her improvisational methodology reminds me to remember […]

This is an individually designed (improvisational style) small (46”x40”) personal or lap quilt, made from new and recycled cotton, with some handwoven fabric from Egypt added to the mix. Great for a child’s room or a bold splash of color/artwork. This work was machine pieced and hand quilted with blue embroidery thread and backed in matching blue cotton. Fun one-of-a-kind, folksy, warm accent piece. Machine wash or dry clean.
