 |
| This was fun for me! Bo was a joy to work with! |

| Jill providing important input from the stairwell. Here you can see the stone/brick outer wall of the original Carnegie library building. Referenced Materials was designed for this specific space. It references the old brick, stone, tile and the fresh new materials seen throughout the library. |

| The artists and their art! |
Just gorgeous! Congratulations. I think all it's missing is a little sign/plaque next to it referencing the artists. After all, it is a library...sources needed to be noted;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry. I think there will be a plaque or the like in the not too distant future!
DeleteIt's wonderful! And definitely perfect for that space!

DeleteLooks wonderful! Congratulations. And I love how your choice of outfits match the colors in the gorgeous quilt! Kate MP
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate! I'm pretty sure we both thought we should dress so as to add not detract from the quilt. :-)
DeleteThat's so beautifully made and hang. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThank you Barb!

ReplyDeleteThank you! Hope you get the chance to see it in person soon! (if you haven't already)
DeleteIt reflects your aesthetic and the space perfectly! I know all of the hard work you put into the project -- and it paid off handsomely! So happy local library recognizes quilting as an art form.

DeleteOh my gosh! Jill and Marny, you two did a fabulous job with this triptych! I love, love, love, the design. Perhaps I missed out, but is this a unique piece? Or is it based on a pattern you have? The negative space and the random triangles in those colors... goodness! It speaks volumes. I'd love to see this in person. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! This is a unique piece, commissioned specifically for the space. A quilter's dream location! Thank you for your kind words! Marny
DeleteThese look absolutely wonderful.
