Invoking Spirits:
Cat Chooses Her Muse
1998
24"h x 36"w
Sold at auction August 2000
Made for an invitational
exhibition "Quilt 2000: Invoking Spirits" by the
Association of Pacific Northwest Quilters. 50 quilts in this
collection are travelling
on exhibit in the US and Canada until August 2000, when they
will be auctioned
off at the APNQ QuiltFest.
As the millenium approaches,
we may reach out to unseen spirits for guidance. Mythology gives
us many options, often in sets of nine to choose from, according
to needs. If you've ever seen a cat staring at the invisible,
perhaps there is unseen communication there.
Fabrics include cotton prints,
Bali batiks, lame, machine needlelace. Machine appliqued and
quilted with rayon and metallic threads, handmade cords, and
prismatic foil.
