My mini polychrome floral hexagon quilt stickers are finally listed in my online shop! They are 1/18th scale of a quilt I finished one year ago! The original quilt is a labor of love, made from various new and vintage prints and solid cotton fabric pieces. Each piece of fabric was lovingly sourced from estate sales and vintage vendors, or hand-dyed using fiber reactive dyes. All fabric pieces are held in a hexagon shape and sewn using a hand-sewing technique called English Paper Piecing. This artistic vision was inspired by abstract painting and draws from my formal painting background as a multi-disciplinary artist.

My thesis-painting this semester! I worked with two subjects of this pieces; 1) the censorship of queer and trans identities in our age of social media in part due to the anti-lgbt hate and laws passed this year and 2) the value of traditional art and artisanal mediums such as textiles ,in an increasingly digital art market, by appropriating digital iconography using entirely traditional mediums and techniques.

Latest finish. All free motion quilted. One yard of gorgeous fabric by Moda in their Gradients Auras line. Satin backing. Four or five colors of thread.
I’m thinking this one would be amazing stretched on a canvas hanging on the wall and can’t decide if I’m going to keep it or sell it.
