I am thrilled and honored to have my art quilt, Clan of Misfits, accepted into the "Best of Dinner@8" quilt exhibition debuting Houston this November at the International Quilt Festival. This is the 10th and final exhibit of "Dinner@8", an amazing exhibit curated by Jamie Fingal and Leslie Jennison. My work begins with dozens of empty, and used tea bags, most specifically from Celestial Seasonings. I use hand-painted papers and fabrics to create collages on each bag. Machine sewing and hand stitching add detail. The bags are then arranged on a background and appliquéd with more stitching. This piece measures 30''X50". Thank you Leslie and Jamie for curating this amazing exhibit and accepting my work.
