I've
always admired Velda Newman's painterly and colorful, nature inspired quilts.
So when I found out her work is on display at The City Quilter's gallery in NYC,
I parted with train fare and made my way down to the city. As I imagined, her
work is awesome in person but what I didn't expect to see was how large the
scale of some of her pieces are.
Zinnia, shown above measures
81" x 210". It is magnificent, really something to behold. Ms. Newman
starts with her own hand dyed fabrics and continues to develop her creations by
incorporating pastels, paint, ink and resist.

If
you are in the area, check out the show, it runs through October 18th. Of
course, The City Quilter, with its gorgeous collection of fabrics, books, trims,
and other goodies is reason enough to make the trip...
