FLOWERS IN MY HAIR AND EXPECTATIONS

My latest quilt, Flowers in my hair and expectations has been juried into Rituals, an invitational special exhibit that will premier at the Long Beach International Quilt show this July. To read more about the exhibit - please check out http://dinnerateightartists.blogspot.com/

The wording was created in Photoshop and the fabric printed by spoonflower.com , an online fabric printing company.

The words on the top half are sort of blind expectations - all positive. The bottom portion - the darker fabric, lists some of the realities of this life together. The letters can be seen better in this close up.
The couple have been collaged using vintage kimono fabrics. It is my interpretation of the original photos taken almost 45 yrs ago. wow.
