Blind Stitching, Twist Tie Quilt 5 by Amy Orr
Blind Stitching, Twist Tie Quilt #5 by Amy Orr of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Techniques: Pieced, stitched, appliqued, tied. Design source: This quilt was inspired by a historic Log Cabin quilt from the 1800s, made of dark silk ribbon with colorful edging.
Amy Orr makes art from a palette of post-consumer materials including religious mementos, credit cards, twist ties, chicken bones, shattered auto glass, plastic parts and currency. She uses these elements to create patterns, building elaborately pieced and patterned surfaces. Orr's work pays homage to women's work, using cultural ephemera in place of fabric scraps. Orr is fascinated by the ordinary, drawn to particular artifacts for their abundance, color and inherent content.
