If you love all things old, including barns, doors, and stones, you just may want to plan a trip to Longmont, Colorado for an extrordinary exhibition at the Old Firehouse Gallery. The exhibit, "Sticks and Stones", features the works of Vita Marie Lovett and Denise Labadie. Both artists have works depicting old and sometimes ancient structures using fabric, paint and thread.
Vita recreates photos of primitive doors and hinges using hand painted fabric and miles of thread. Denise, who was our featured guest in Episode 106 of The Quilt Show, continues her work focusing on the ancient megalithic stones and churches of Ireland. Using hand painted fabric stones Denise builds walls and structures she photographed while exploring the countryside of Ireland.
