Congratulations to Tricia Deck
Two of her pieces, "Patches" and "Striper",
were accepted into the exhibit
"Something Boro'd, Something Blue"
at the Brush Gallery
in Lowell, MA
August 4 to September 15, 2018
Reception: Sat, August 11 from 2 to 4 PM
"Patches" was inspired by Japanese boro quilts. The foundation was created by using Japanese shirt fabric that Tricia purchased from a market in China. She added denim and a few pieces of indigo dyed fabric. As she was creating her piece she liked the irregular shapes that were emerging. She used the red sashiko thread to enhance the vertical lines.

She created this piece from fabric dyed in an Indigo dyeing class taught by Carol Anne Grotrian. The background piece was dyed in one long piece of fabric. She thought it would make a great background of water and waves for her fish. The circle bubbles were dyed abound a washer. Tricia used the stitching to enhance the movement across the piece. She named her piece "Striper" for the stripes of fabric and the striped Bass fish that are so hard to catch.
