QUILTED PORTRAITS (Cheri)

Caught your attention, didn't I?

This was one of the portrait quits at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival that I am attending in Hampton, Virginia.  There was so much to see that I've divided the pictures that I took into a number of different posts.

A portion of the artist's statement, and her rendition of the wallpaper that she references:

"Zoe," by Christie Eckardt of the United Emirates

"Maman a Cabo de Palos," by Arielle Beyaert of Spain

Well, that's actually enough for today.  I still have a few more portraits to share . . . soon!
