The Great Chicago Quilt Festival
Marcia Derse's booth
There were signs and white glove ladies all over the place forbidding pictures and even tho I am often disobedient, I behaved myself for once. There were way too many visitors to get a good picture anyway, so we will leave those pictures to others, who will visit on Sunday when no one is there but the lonely vendors.
Speaking of vendors, I was only at the show for three hours, subbing for Laura in the ARTFABRIK book, so she could attend a free lunch. What we will do for free food. It was fun and reminded me of why I retired.
However I did get two great contacts in that short time and will be doing a couple of local lectures. Little did they know I am not Laura.
Just kidding! I got to see old pals and met up with my friends Kris Montgomery and Judy Coates Perez.
After my mini-vendor stint I went over to the booth of my quilt idol Marcia Derse. I would give you a link here, but she does not have a website...YET. I am giving her the big nudge to get on board and make a blogsite immediately if not sooner and let us all feast on her fantastic work, which now all of a sudden includes fabric. Quite wonderful fabric as a matter of fact.
Her little wonderful self. She doesn't like to pose for photos but I ignored that.
Just a tiny example of the fantastic fabrics she had for sale. She made all of them herself. They are hand dyed fat quarters with discharged designs. I know for a fact that this is tons of work. Very time consuming and requiring mucho skill. Each piece is unique.
It had to have taken months to fill a booth with this superb schmatta. There is coordinating solid fabric to match. What a neato display. Note the small compositions hanging about the fabric display. Each one is mounted on a box with velcro, just so you can switch the piece to just the way you would want to hang it. Some collectors buy multiple works and hang them as an installation. Marcia had a photo book showing many configurations of installed art. I wanted to weep, and then steal the book.
She also has a selection of hand painted (textile inks) fabu fabrics. They have an entirely different look to them, compared to the dyed/discharged pieces, yet are just as wonderful. I would just frame them or sew two or three together and call it finished art.
This is the largest quilt I have ever seen Marcia do. She knows the meaning of elegant simplicity. Whenever I see her work, I want to start all over from scratch.
I drool.
So you are asking what it is that makes me so 'over the moon' about this artwork?
Well.
It has a certain strength and confidence that I desire. I want my work to exude that air. Nothing is presented that is unnecessary, only the essentialness of the color, shape and line. The reduction is superb.
I plan on leaving out a lot of 'stuff' in the future. SAY IT ONCE, CLEARLY. Less is more.
Irresistible packets of small discharged pieces. Too wonderful.
Wow, wow, and more wow! Cindra's right, it's not necessarily better than yours, just different. But, wow--what a well thought out and executed booth. It makes me want to buy it ALL!
ReplyDeleteI am entraced. The stunning fabric, the precisely placed hooks with the vintage yardstick mounted above, the flippy arty goodness of each piece hanging from its corner, the brilliantly spare composition of the quilts, the simple grid shelf system and Marcia in her funky glasses and enthusiastic smile. I'm inspired.

ReplyDeleteTotally fabo. I love the little hooky hangers. Wish I'd thought of that when I was a hand-dye sellin' godess of the north.
ReplyDeleteI get your sentiments about less is more. I feel like that's the very far off destination on the map for me too.
I was there today too and Loved Loved Loved her booth!!!Just a fantastic display!!!!I overheard her tell someone she did not have a website and was bummed. I hope you can persuade her........
ReplyDeleteI like your work too, but I like lots of bright colors mixed up which you do too. Sometimes less is nice, and sometimes it just needs more! I do like the way she displayed her fabrics in a rainbow. I have always wanted to frame a box of crayons, outside the box of course!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of Marcia's work, hope she starts blogging soon,

The best kind is fresh, the next best is frozen, and the least best is canned. However, if you cannot get the fresh, do the frozen. If the frozen does not work for you, get canned vegetables. The important thing to do is to eat vegetables. Many vegetables contain sulforaphane, which are known to be anti-cancer ingredients Kendal-Reed.

However, a large number of people perceive lacto vegetarian as only kind of vegetarian diet plan. Most overweight teens have too much fat in their diets. Reducing your fat consumption will cut your calorie intake dramatically and will increase your energy, so you'll feel more like exercising. Avoid fried foods, whole milk and dairy products and high-fat meats such as burgers, cold cuts, bacon and sausage. For example, a typical 4-oz. Beware of fat-free desserts and candy, though. They contain high amounts of sugar, which your body converts to fat. When you are a man who weighs more than 300 pounds, you likely want to lose weight and lose it quickly. At this weight, you likely possess a substantial amount of belly fat. Large fat stores around your middle increase your chances of having heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other serious health conditions, Dr. Michael Jensen warns on the Mayo Clinic website. The good news is that extra-heavy guys can lose pounds quickly. [url=http://greencoffeetime.net/]http://richardgauxu.livejournal.com/787.html[/url] No the videos were great but I just still didn't feel right about opening up the treadmill engine or even attempting to take the belt off so I found another solution. Of course, if you consume fewer calories than you burn you are bound to lose weight. You're unlikely to find a diet that won't work if you stick to the rules precisely, since diets are all about getting you to severely restrict your calorie intake. Usually they do this by encouraging you to eat only certain kinds of food generally, those foods which contain few calories. Consequently, you can eat all the cabbage soup you want, although it won't take you long to get bored of such a restrictive diet. After giving up you usually return to your old habits and put all the weight you lost back on. Cut out caffeine, sugar, cigarettes and alcohol. Eliminate all processed food such as those that come in boxes, cans or the freezer. Avoid restaurant fare. Limit intake of refined flours, saturated fats and trans fats. Stay away from artificial sweeteners, particularly aspartame Nutra Sweet, sucralose Splenda saccharin Sweet N Low. Choose organic produce and grain-fed meats if food is included in your cleanse.
