Welcome to Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday (TGIFF). TGIFF is the opportunity to share your finishes from this week. You can find out who is hosting each week by heading over to the TGIFF blog.
Last year, I was offered the opportunity to contribute a quilt to an exhibit at the Dalhousie Art Gallery -- It's About Time: Dancing Black in Canada.
The curator had ideas of what she wanted the quilt to portray. I am pleased that I was able to bring her vision to life. This is: "This Earth is Our Dancefloor, This Dancefloor is our World." It is a 36 x 36 inch wall hanging.
On the advice of friends, I quilted a straight-line grid in the diamond-ish areas to represent the dance floor. In the orange peels, I did big stitch hand quilting to echo the inner curves.
The curator of the exhibit has purchased the quilt, so when the exhibit concludes next month, it will go home with her.
The artist statement was created from the vision and information provided from the curator.
It's time for you to link up your finishes from this week. Please also visit a few of the link ups to get some inspiration and to share some quilty love. ♥
