"Summer"

Textile: 8" x 10"

Char Wirfs

This is a piece from a seasonal series of four:  "Seasons of Paris". These all feature a photo transfer printed on fabric and appliquéd to a pieced background. I chose black and white fabrics with a bright snippet fabric added and bits of embroidered embellishments. They are hand appliquéd and hand quilted mini quilts and  are mounted on canvas to display in a stand or to be hung on the wall. Each piece reflects the mood of the season.

Recently displayed at the Galleria of Art Presence Art Center,

  Gelato Textile Char Wirfs Size 41" by 30"    This started as one block which is the girl on a bicycle. Borders were added around the block in a round-robin style. These were machine pieced.  Appliquéd pieces and embroidery embellishments were added for final touches. It hangs from a rod inserted in a back sleeve, which is a traditional hanging for a wall quilt. This piece celebrates Spring.

There were over 600 entries and only 10 were chosen. This  wasn't one of the winners, but I learned many helpful things to enhance my creative uses with textiles.  For several years I had two homes in Tacoma, WA and Baker City, OR and I drove back and forth between them. The Blue Mountains are East of Pendleton, OR and I crossed them in all kinds of weather conditions. My favorite was late Spring when the wildflowers were blooming. I chose that for my theme.
