Quilt Artist

The Kitsap Arts & Crafts Fair was held in Kingston this year and I had the privilege of getting to work in the quilt shop today during the event. The shop featured the work of quilt artist, Cynthia Keim. I've seen Cynthia's work before and have always been awestruck at what she accomplishes. But seeing so many of her pieces hanging together was truly a treat. I didn't get to take too many pictures because my camera's battery died. Dang! But here are the few I managed to get. I also forgot to write down the quilt names....so sorry!

I love the use of tucks to give movement.

The ocean waves move due to doing tucks! I also love how she achieved the look of rain with metallic thread and beads.

I've made a "Strips-n-Curves" quilt before but what I liked was Cynthia's creative curvy borders.

How I wish my battery hadn't died. Her most amazing quilts, i.m.o., were the ones I didn't get pics of!

Will the joys of my new job ever end? I don't think so! :)
