Quilts

Riskpress Gallery doesn’t stop with paint and ink artworks. They’ve exhibited sculpture, and right now they have a show of handmade books. The August exhibit was a quilt show. Two quilters, one from Petaluma, one from here, displayed. Pauline Pellini is a local who grew up here (her family owns Pellini Chevrolet).

Pauline has a couple of quilts in the exhibit that are inspired by Hawaiian quilting, like this one:

She told me the one of the quilts hanging in the window contained quarters that came from Hawaii. I tried to take some photos of the outward facing ones, but the light was wrong.

 Because I love sunflowers, I did bite the bullet and take this one.

  1. This is beautiful. Some of my favorite pieces of art are quilts. I especially like the sort of prismatic play with color on the 4th picture down.
