nap quilt no. 029 {$4400.00}
EXHIBITION NEWS: This quilt was on view throughout June, 2021 at the Albert Merola Gallery in Provincetown at 424 Commercial Street. It was part of the exhibit “IN AND OUT AND ROUND AND ROUND”.
dimensions: roughly 58x74in / 147x188cm (this quilt is not perfectly rectangular)
After cutting up old button down shirts for parts I continue to save the last bits, the shirt tail hems among them. This quilt is composed of those hems, interwoven and hand stitched to a linen ground.
This quilt is backed with warm white cotton. The quilt stitching around the woven strips is done in black thread which on the reverse side expresses itself as an understated graphic replay of the overall design, yet offers a contrasting sense of calm in relation to the animated front side.
It is bound with the same linen fabric and you may note a few intentional curves along the edges making room for some of the longer woven loops.
The label is hand stitched with the nap logo and its assigned number. This nap quilt no. 029 is the only one of its kind. Designed, pieced, and stitched in Provincetown.
care note: I recommend hand wash only for this quilt.
