Mary Earle-Sigler — Quilt for Ixa
Author: Tracy Sigler | Posted: July 20th, 2006 | | Tags: fiber art, Handmade, quilting | 3 Comments »Artist Mary Earle-Sigler has returned to her roots, fiber arts, with this quilt for her newest nephew, Ixa. The various fabric patterns pieced together in this work appear cheerful enough, individually. But in the context of this quilted blanket they seem to create a montage of land and sea combat. This reviewer believes the artist has depicted a raging battle for triangle supremacy. Amphibians versus fish. Who will rule the blanket? Based on the facial expressions of these gladiators (see detail in third pic below) the frogs will soon vanquish the fish.
Mary has some serious quilt skillz. Tate loves her quilt, too!
Beautiful designs, color and expert sewing skills. Tate and Ixa are two lucky babies!
Beautiful. Too nice to let Ixa use.
