Waiting for the Bus This quilt was inspired by a painting by Julia Cairns called "Waiting for the Bus." (See the quilt "Bequia" for info on Julia.) During our years in the Caribbean, when we lived on a sailboat, I often stood on corners with the island women, waiting for the bus.... For this quilt, I painted the background foliage using Fabric Brush Markers. The flowers in the upper left corner were from the "dress fabric" worn by the woman on the right. They each have an earring, and the middle figure has a beaded necklace. From left to right, I've named them Dora, Evangeline (with her son Evan) and Frances. This quilt was a joy to make! |
