What leads a quilter from the traditional path of piecing and appliqué to working with textiles in a whole new way? Such a journey is filled with bumps and unexpected twists and turns. Join Mary Pal to hear about her adventures with cheesecloth and decide for yourself if you would make the same choices. This presentation is filled with images of some very unusual art quilts that will surprise and delight and have you looking afresh at all the possibilities we have with our fabrics.
Mary Pal is a Canadian textile artist best known for her cheesecloth portraits. Her work has been exhibited throughout the world and published in numerous books and magazine articles. She is a feature artist in Art Quilt Portfolio: People & Portraits published by Lark Books and in Art Quilts Unfolding: 50 Years of Innovation, published by Schiffer Publishing.
