Rebuilding by Carol Vasenko

Size: 24" x 17"
Catalog Specialist in a university library. I got on to the Internet when I was given an account at work, and became interested in the notrad group.

My piece is called "Rebuilding." It is about deconstructing in order to reassemble; changing from old to new; past to present. It's one in a series of quilts about my obsession with House quilts. Though I used a traditional block, I broke it and went for large, colorful stitches, raw edges, embellishment. When the piece is shown in galleries, I invite viewer to touch the 3-D elements to see the secrets attached.
