dress shirt quilts #3
This quilt is one I saw in an exhibit while we were at Quilt Market last fall in Houston. It is called "Furrowed Fields" by Rosemary Cromer. The sign explained that the quilt "brings to mind a patchwork of rows of tassled corn, wheat fields.. and silo heads heavy with grain. ...It seems appropriate that the materials for this piece are the shirts worn by men who may have worked these lands."

wow... this one is pretty amazing.
Glad you liked it :) Rosemary Cromer
those striped bits are so great.
there's a great new book out "Making Memories" by Deb Rowden, published by the Kansas City Star....think you might enjoy.
hooray Rosemary! I had tried to find you via the internet to ask if it was okay to post this.. so glad you found your way here!
This quilt is the "leftovers" from a quilt called "If These Shirts Could Talk" in the Making Memories book by Deb Rowden.
We can check the beautiful handmade dress shirt quilts from this story. In which we can order and purchase it.
