"Quilts" at City Hall

Flabbergasted.  Amazed.  Astounded.  Stunned.  Thunderstruck.

Yes, I am using the thesaurus feature in Microsoft Word.  But, I have an excellent reason.

A blog post from Jenean Morrison was shared with me, and now I share it with you.  She writes about a professor from Memphis, Tennessee.  Said professor apparently ran across some 700 street signs that the city was set to recycle.  Oh, by the way, this is an ART professor.  What's an artist to do with 700 street signs?  

He created a public showpiece of "quilts" that were installed outside City Hall.  The pictures are, well...amazing, astounding, stunning...you get the idea.  Click here to see for yourself.  Come back to Stitched Stories and leave a comment with your reaction! 

What adjectives would you use?

Friday's Feature - Pamela Quilts

It's Friday, the end of the week, and here in Ohio, we are finally getting a little taste of winter.  Time to sit back and enjoy the works of yet another talented Etsian.  The Little Shop of Stitches is pleased to introduce Pamela Quilts.

Pamela lives in Oregon, and has been quilting for more than 20 years.  I think the best way to describe her is to say that Pamela is the kind of quilter I'd like to be when I grow up!  She works in a local quilt shop, teaches, and does both hand and machine quilting.  For two years, she has served as a quilt show judge.  She designs and sells her own patterns.  One of her quilt designs won an international contest, which then led to that pattern being featured in a book titled Jelly Roll Inspirations.  She sells her finished quilts in her Etsy shop to make room for more creativity in her sewing studio.

In a word -- WOW!

Look at these photos.  They simply speak for themselves.

She has several of her original patterns available in her Etsy shop.  This is one of my favorites.  It is a wall hanging organizer that uses pre-printed panels.

Last, but definitely not least, Pamela writes about her quilt-y adventures on her blog.  Take a minute to check her out at www.pamelaquilts.blogspot.com.  You will not be disappointed.

Happy Stitching, everyone!
