I've admired their work for so long! I just found out that they have some quilts on display at a local art gallery, so I have to head over there before Aug. 3. I have a picture of the Gee's Bend quilters, one of their quilts, and other quilts form the Sisters Quilt Show on my blog and on flickr (less pics on flickr).

The control freak in me won't allow me to just "wing it". I can't even do random color/fabric placement. When I do random..it's very carefully planned random. LOL ;) She does wonderful work..and I hope she continues. The apple didn't fall far from the tree..isn't that nice? :)Ann Championhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08142572469569643507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-35114030396565629532009-07-22T03:56:51.899+10:002009-07-22T03:56:51.899+10:00I think it's a masterpiece also!

And has she sewn since?...Yes, it is a masterpiece. And has she sewn since?<br /><br />It seems to me that you alreayd have your own style of improvisation. Sometimes you seem to start quilts without a definite plan in mind. Improvisation isn't just about random or free piecing. It is about breaking free from patterns, kits, and doing things because we think we should. But I believe that you still need to follow the basics and have good seam allowances, press well, trim, and watch your colour balance.Cheryl Arkisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552721454371060936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-82343832180118534432009-07-22T00:38:17.676+10:002009-07-22T00:38:17.676+10:00You truly are one talented family!
