landscape quilts
For many years now, Bobbie has been interpreting photographs of local scenes and travels into quilts. This literal approach makes her feel she is "painting" with fabric as she searches for cloth that shows textures from marshland to cool stone. The rendering of light and shadow, along with the tiny details of real life, give a sense of time and place. Trying to make the viewer feel they can walk along a lake, smell the tidal marsh or step into a forest is a constant challenge.
Embellishing these quilts with words, leaves, buttons and beads adds an element of surprise and delight as it instills reality along with fantasy.
