Amethyst - framed<br />

Later I decided to use traditional<br />

quilt patterns made with rubbings<br />

to make framed art pieces.<br />

I assembled the squares, added<br />

Borders <strong>and</strong> then h<strong>and</strong> quilted them.<br />

I sewed an<strong>other</strong> piece of fabric on<br />

Three sides to the front to make a<br />

sort of pillow case. A piece of acid<br />

free foam core board was slipped<br />

inside <strong>and</strong> the fourth side was<br />

stitched closed by h<strong>and</strong>.<br />

I framed these with metal frames<br />

that kept the glass separated<br />

from the art work.<br />

I did a series of these <strong>and</strong> had a show<br />

of them at the Point of View Gallery,<br />

Williamsville, NY. 1984
