Title: What We Love About New England Quilt #1
Teacher: Rachel Maguire
Theme: Favorites
Materials: Students in our Art Major class used a variety of techniques to create these quilts. Students challenged themselves to use techniques previously ever exposed to, such as applique, quilting, embroidery, felting, mola, collage and machine sewn elements. These squares were created with a very, very wide assortment of found textile materials. Students incorporated an assortment of silk, felt, cotton, burlap, canvas, hot glue, yarn, fake flowers, wool, string, pipe cleaners, and beads to create their scenes and illustrations of iconic New England elements.
Did you enjoy this project? OMG YES! I am so excited about these!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to organize a field trip to Salem to check out the exhibit!
About: Each student was tasked with creating a textile based quilt square about something unique and iconic New England using solely fabric techniques. Top left, Lighthouse. Top Right, Salem Witch Trials. Bottom left, Four Seasons. Bottom right, Boston Skyline.
