Lesley's Quilts #2
Lesley's Quilts #1
My wife Lesley has been making quilts for many years. They haven’t been on display anywhere for a few years, but we’re working on a web site. they’re wonderful to look at. What I’ve always liked about her quilts is the randomness that she allows to take place. She has a geometric pattern, but doesn’t carry it out like an engineer. If she runs out of fabric in the middle of a pattern, she’ll let the pattern be asymmetrical. Someone just wrote her today (which prompted me to post this):
“…I always loved the vitality and quirkiness of your work. I am a HUGE fan of that; so of course I love Kaffee Fassett as well. I love your little hand cut pieces, and your wonderful stitching and the odd bits of whimsey e.g. beads, and of course, best of all, the color….”
I’m going to post her quilt photos now and then.
The Coolest Apartment Block on Earth
“Viennese artist, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, has designed what has become one of the more unique and visually stimulating buildings in the world. With over 1000 unique windows, individualized handles on windows and doors, a living roof, café, parking garage, restaurant, bar, playground, and a running stream, the Waldspirale in Darmstadt, Germany is an architectural wonder. Upon first glance, second and third, one is simply enchanted and astonished.”
