An article has just been published about my work on the Quilt National Artists website here: http:\/\/quiltnationalartists.com\/journey-landscape-alison-schwabe\/<\/a>.\u00a0 To\u00a0compose it I looked back through the 4 works I’ve had selected into Quilt National down the years, and while putting them into their context, the title emerged.\u00a0 Each has to do with landscape as the surface on which change is recorded, and marks are left.\u00a0 It took me years to see\u00a0a link between a landscape and a life.\u00a0 You can read about it and see the pics of the 4 quilts in chronological order down the page,\u00a0starting with “Ora Banda”, just a little special because it was my first successful entry.<\/p>\n

“Ora Banda”\u00a0 1992\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 127cm h x 150cm w<\/em><\/p>\n

I pieced it before leaving Denver to accompany my husband to South America on a business trip, and\u00a0did all the hand quilting while in Montevideo and Mendoza, Argentina.\u00a0\u00a0 I never\u00a0look at it without remembering the beautiful plaza in front of our hotel there, and how I sat out in the early autumn sun for a couple of hours every afternoon to quilt during the hours of siesta.\u00a0 Autumn leaves were falling.\u00a0 Occasionally people would stop and ask what I was doing and comment – goodness knows what they made of whatever I said, as\u00a0I knew very little Spanish then!<\/p>\n
