For Love of Ornament (62" x 66") was hand appliquéd and hand quilted by Zena Thorpe.
Design Basis: Ornamentation Sampler
Artist Statement:
The quilt was inspired by Owen Jones' design classic "The Grammar of Ornament" which he published in 1856. Owen Jones collected thousands of examples of ornamentation from all over the world. I have adapted for appliqué, a very small sampling of those designs.
For Love of Ornament was on display at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah Spring 2019 and won 2nd Place Other - Wall at Road To California 2019 and 2nd Place Traditional at PIQF 2018.
