The Tide is Hire

In the summer of 2005 I was fortunate to be able to help Dianne Hire (she, unfortunately, had hurt her back and needed someone to tote her quilts and stuff) at a teaching workshop. In return, I got to sit in on the classes. I began the Curvaceous Squares, which grew into this quilt. The title is a pun on the song "The Tide is High", popularized by the singer Blondie in 1980 and more recently by the Atomic Kittens (and there's got to be a quilt in that name, too!).

Size 51x51 inches.
Juried into the Viking Husqvarna Masterpiece exhibit: Imagine That! Premiered at International Quilt Festival, Houston, October 2006.
