Jimmy McBride Quilts

Log Cabin Quilt My Mom is making me found at Quiltology, below

I just came across quilts by Jimmy McBride. These quilts are different from anything I have seen. Jimmy uses elements of Sci Fi and Astronomy among other things and puts together chaotically beautiful pieces. On his blog he points out that he uses thrifted shirts for his fabric. He also includes a picture of the racks of his local thrift store...it looks far beyond any thrift store I have been to!! I'm jealous. I really wish I could get one of these quilts. Luckily, my Mom is making me a wonderful quilt I found the pattern for on Quiltology's wesite, picture included.

Camille Canales

Another amazing artist I discovered this year at Renegade Holiday was Camille Canales. Camille does phenomenal textile art using embroidery, beading screen printing. She also does drawings. Her work is extremely intricate and beautiful. She must be extremely busy because in addition to her textile works, she also sells screen printed curtains, scarves and bags that are also very cute.
