Artist Marie Watt will be featured in a mid-career retrospective show at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, opening February 4, 2012. As she is not able to come out west for the installation process, I volunteered, with Sharon Rose, to help get colorful bindings sewn on some 150 blankets for one of the pieces in the show, “Dwelling.” It’s a stack for some 800-1000 blankets:
“story” blankets, plain blankets AND…blankets with bindings…In this photo Marie is in the middle…in front of the stack…
Greenbaum’s Quilted Forest has kindly loaned us their back room and 6 sewing machines for this project, and today was day one. We delivered boxes of blankets Friday
and started in this morning
Pinning…
a hearty band of volunteers sewing…
