Significant Women<br />
In Western New York<br />
In 1984 I was commissioned by the YWCA<br />
of Buffalo to create their Corporate Award.<br />
I researched these women , made small<br />
screen printed portraits of them <strong>and</strong><br />
one or two line statements about them.<br />
These were all put together as the award<br />
along with the recipients name <strong>and</strong> the date.<br />
This is not the hanging that I made for the YWCA.<br />
That had the screen prints on a soft light yellow fabric.<br />
The strip quilting around the prints was in patterned<br />
fabrics of dark red, black <strong>and</strong> the soft yellow.<br />
I never did photograph that piece,<br />
but I still have this one.<br />
I printed on a beige background <strong>and</strong><br />
changed the color scheme.<br />
I added some feather stitching <strong>and</strong> <strong>other</strong><br />
embroidery to this one.
