A Little Q & A

My Rosa Parks quilt, "Quiet Storm" was on display at the International Quilt Festival in the "Ourstory" exhibit.  It is also included in the book as well.  This book is definitely a must have for art quilting enthusiasts as well as those who want to lean more about some remarkable people.  I am especially proud of this one--not just because of the subject, but I really love the quilting I did on the face.  This is my best face quilting yet! I used a few different techniques on this art quilt.  I drew the main image from the famous photo from Rosa Parks' arrest, and I changed the sign from the number to the word "equal".  I then transferred the image to fabric and painted it.  For the background, I actually printed it using a thermofax screen that I had made which has words, dates and numbers which were significant to that event and period in time.
