What is art? Art is the deliberate
creation of sensation, created by a
person, on purpose, to invoke a
response. An
art quilt possesses the
basic structural characteristics of
a quilt. It is mostly fabric with at
least two layers - a top or facing
layer and a backing layer. The face
layer can be made using one or
several techniques: pieced,
appliqué, whole cloth, stitched or
fused to the foundation. The face
and backing are held together with
hand, machine stitching or other
methods that are evenly distributed
throughout the quilt surface.
Paints, beads, yarns and lace are
only a few of the elements that can
be added to achieve texture. |

This is a Challenge
Quilt. The challenge
was to use a quarter
yard of the focus
fabric in a quilt.
The fabric for this
challenge is the
large flowers at the
bottom of the quilt.
Pam also used it for
the girls leis,
headdresses and also
for the "pods" in
the tree. |
