Nelda Warkentin
A brief diversion from postcards…
Recently, I came across a fiberartist that is new to me, but obviously not to many in the art quilt / textile art world: Nelda Warkentin. I am blown away by her work — it is exciting in a way that many pieced textile works are not, though I’m not sure I’ve figured out the “why” (at least for the “why” for me). You can see her work here. Also, there is a PDF of an article on /by her in Fiberarts here. Hope you enjoy the links!
back tomorrow I hope with the final installment in this series on postcards….

I love her work – I wonder how far Phillips ME is from you? Sounds like she will be coming soon for her second home!

Wow! I really like these — my kind of quilts! I can see why you enjoyed my Green series. Muslin ain’t silk but I did manage similar color and shape ideas. Very encouraging!
