Garden Girl and Kite Boy
36" x 36"
This quilt is about ambivalence. One hand holds on tight while the other cuts loose (literally with the scissors). The result? Your heart feels completely yanked! Even though mixed emotions are a pretty common experience, it doesn't make them any easier to deal with.
This quilt is exhibiting NOW at the Austin Area Quilt Guild Show. I also just found out that it has been accepted to Art Quilts XIII: Lucky Break in Chandler Arizona. I am thrilled!!
This quilt also features a number of my hand dyed batiks. I had so much fun making them and getting to use them in this quilt. I also have an unusual found object, the kite string holder. I found it in Cleveland OH at a park (where I was simultaneously loosing my cell phone, nope never found it again). I was there for taping for Quilting Arts TV.

Congratulations on QN and Art Quilts! Wow, what a week!
Forgot to say that your quilt is very cool.
Dear Kathy,
I love the colors and the streamlined shapes. It has a very Marimekko feel to it. Congrats on getting into TWO very discriminating shows!!

Beautiful, beautiful kite quilt!
I'm a bit behind in my blog reading, and I'm so glad that I popped onto yours! I love this piece, as I do our other works. As for the kitties, I'm totally hooked! I'm glad they've found a good, loving home!
