Decatur Arts Festival

I worked for several weeks with Sarah Phillips, owner of Intown Quilters in Decatur, to hang fifty quilts, some dating back 150 years. These quilts are in the courthouse adjacent to the Dekalb History exhibit celebrating the Dairy farm beginnings of our county. 

Brenda Shelby, Ellen Apte, me, Mary Maynard and Melinda Rushing with our respective quilt "slice".

"Romare Bearden's Savoy Girls are Jammin' Too" is based on his work:

  "Jammin' at the Savoy." 

"Winky's Wish: A Home for Everyone" was originally made as a donation to Atlanta Habitat for Humanity.  This version, without a deadline, includes embellishment.

Winky was originally discovered flying in a Pioneer Square gallery, Seattle, 1990.  I've adapted him  seven times.  Mariel, my youngest daughter, has this one and her boyfriend Paul's father commissioned #7 for mother Ann.
 Winky has magical powers.
