"Fryeburg Maine" "Three Wedding Birches"

Friend and artist, Rebecca Fricke, has a unique approach to quilting which opened my eyes to a craft I rarely thought much about. Her quilts are part impressionist painting, part modern illustration.

Rebecca uses negative space and blocky cuttings to create organic nature scenes and landscapes.  The patterns and colors lend texture and create depth of field, in a traditionally one-dimensional quilt space.  

I find a certain whimsey in her work, using the highly structured craft of quilting to capture the organic flowing shapes of nature. Rebecca's quilts are wall-hanging works of art that inspire conversation.
