On February 20th, there was a beautiful presentation by Judy Parlato, a fiber artist from Gwinn, MI.
Judy demonstrated the process she uses in creating art quilts.
“I was delighted” Judy told me, “to be asked to present my ‘Lady’ and explain my artistic process starting with inspiration and culminating with binding the quilted art quilt.”
Judy accepts every design challenge presented her usually stretching the boundaries of traditional quilt design. Striving for improvement as an artist, Judy takes painting and quilting related classes locally and online.
The audience enjoyed Judy’s journey as she recreated the painting by Gustav Klimt ” Lady in Gold”.
“My goal was to encourage and inspire. Several artists said they were motivated to try some techniques I mentioned.”
