"Revolutions" |
Carol Taylor |

This quilt is about taking a motif and rotating it. How many revolutions does it take to make a circle or to create an entire composition? Hand-dyed sateens improvisationally pieced to give the illusion of three layers. One side has 70 small, highly-quilted motifs turned in different directions. The top layer consists of larger sizes of the motifs that have been rotated to form five circles positioned across the quilt in the lightest values. The bottom layer is two very large motifs in the darkest values which have revolved and form a half circle. |

"Toucan At Twilight" |

Coatesville, PA |

Given our busy schedules in this technology-driven world, I find sanctuary in my sewing studio. Surrounded by fabric, threads and an awaiting design wall, this is my so-called comfort zone. The idea for "Toucan at Twilight" was developed during a bit of daydreaming punctuated with memories of tropical elements. This original design was appliquéd and quilted using my home sewing machine. Mostly hand-dyed fabric was used in creating this quilt. |
