Art Exhibit- Scraple Hill

My aunt recently visited Chapel Hill, NC and saw an art exhibit called Scrapel Hill.

It contains works involving cast off materials.  I'm sorry I don't have the artists' names for you. 

The above quilt is comprised of plastic bag yo-yos.

This quilt is all socks.  A great idea for all those lonesome socks missing a partner! 

I bet it would be warm too.

If you are in the area, I believe it goes until July 22, 2012.



Crazy Christmas Quilt

Here is my entry!  I just finished it.  I have always wanted to make a Christmas Quilt, but I usually hang our stockings from my quilt display rack.  All year long I hang different quilts up and we don't have a fireplace mantle for the stockings. 

It is 37"x37".  I used a variety of fabrics from my stash- 3 upholstery fabrics, fake suede, green silk noil, gingham, Asian print cottons and one actual "Christmas" print cotton.  I like using scraps because it gives a quilt an interesting look.

I did some fancy machine stitching in places.  The suede already had stitching on it.  The quilt has a flannel back and could be a table covering, wall hanging, sofa drape etc.  I haven't decided what to do with it yet.  

Thanks for visiting!
