I have admired Jamie Fingal's work for quite some time. She is a quilt artist who calls herself the rebel quilter. She does a lot of creating through art quilts. Jamie loves color and she does wonderful things with zippers. You can view her creativity on her website:
www.jamiefingaldesigns.com . This is a piece she made for the International Quilt Association's auction in Houston.
Jamie started a project in 2010 called
"The House Quilt Project". It is a partnership with
Furnishing Hope to provide a Welcome Home patriotic piece of quilt art to help decorate a room of the houses that they provide for those in need, including returning marines in the Wounded Warrior Battalion. The requirements are that it measures 12"x16", depicts a house and has an American flag.
Since I have been so enamoured with the conch houses in Key West, I decided to use one as a theme for The House Quilt Project. I chose wild crazy colors. I hope not too wild! Can you see the flag hanging off the porch railing?
