Quilting Inspirations by Dinner at Eight Artists

Rituals~Featured at International Quilt Market/Festival

Havel’s Scissors is proud to be a sponsor of Rituals by Curators, Jamie Fingal and Leslie Tucker Jenison.  Jamie and Leslie, along with forty artists, have come together to reveal the art that can be found in everyday life.  I had the privilege to see the exhibit at the International Quilt Festival in Houston this year.  The ingenuity of the artwork in the exhibit is nothing short of spectacular!  Each artist tells a story through the threads of the fabric.  And the stories that are woven through each piece will inspire you to live life to the fullest and appreciate each and every opportunity we are given to share with loved ones.

“Shuka” =  All my life I have been entranced by Kenya, so when I met three Maasai warriors at the Wild Animal Park, I was inspired!  As we talked, only one of the warriors understood English, but when I said the only word I knew in Maasai (“shuka” which is the warrior’s special red cape), ALL the warriors wanted to speak to me, but in Maasai.

Kathy York, Austin, Texas-Artist, mother, and nature lover.  Also love coffee with friends, hiking, riding my bicycle, gardening, and reading.

My inspiration for my quilt for Rituals was about the good times shared daily with my daughter on our way to school, whether practicing math facts, spelling, or counting the deer along the way we always manage to have fun in our little Miata with the top down!  “Morning Commute with Sweet Jane.”
