The Metaphysical Quilter - Margaret Abramshe

Margaret - a self portrait

Hi ladies,

I know everyone got Margaret's email with the PDF of her presentation (thank you Margaret), but I thought a little recap to memorialize it would be nice.

 First, BIG thank you to Margaret for such an excellent presentation that was so interesting, informative and entertaining.  There was a general sense in the room that we need to broaden our minds about what exactly an art quilt can be.

To refresh your memory, she showed her art's progression and how she found her "voice" in her work.  Currently she is doing some really fascinating work thru manipulating photos, having that image put onto fabric and then really bringing it to life and making it unique through artistic embellishment.

I am going to include a couple pictures and the links she provided for the tools she uses and to her website. 

*Do I need to say I am no photographer?

It was delightful getting to know you through your work Margaret!
