Collage Mania Preview – It’s all about the hands.
Hands by Jeanette Thompson
Jeanette Thompson has donated this heavily-stitched 10×8″ art quilt to Collage Mania. According to Jeanette,
Hands was created with a piece of silk organza and free-motion stitched with variegated thread. The designs surrounding the hands express the joy and creativity that hands make possible. The outer edges are zigzag stitched. Most of what I create is through my hands and this piece honors them.
This is Jeanette’s second year of participation in Collage Mania.
100% of the proceeds from Collage Mania, May 5-7, are donated directly by patrons to the American Cancer Society through Fiberart For A Cause.
Karen Stiehl Osborn, the keeper of the jpegs for this year’s Collage Mania, notes she has already received 60 collage jpegs. That’s great!
If you can possibly send your jpegs before the deadline of April 1, Karen and I would both appreciate it. I would hate for Karen to be swamped at the last minute. I will be featuring many of the early bird collages here.
