Description
Diatoms and Wrinkled Whelks, 1994 (48"H X 45" W)This Quilt has been appraised, a copy of the appraisal and a copy of Joan Colvin's book Natures Studio, will all be included with the quilt."Beautiful slopped, gently spiraled shells, in shades of delicate lavender, are scattered on fabric evoking enlarged sand particles, crystalline structures, diatoms...The irregular but innately graceful lines and shapes of nature draw me into a flowing world where fabric is at home. I'm painting, drawing, sculpting and draping into fabric collages that aim for realized realism, implied anatomical accuracy, yet play loosely against each other to evoke the richness and depth of the natural world."-Joan Colvin The family of renown quilter, artist and author Joan Colvin has generously donated Joan's quilt "Diatoms and Wrinkled Whelks" (1994) to benefit Mount Vernon, Washington's Friendship House and homeless folks that Friendship House serves. Joan's husband, Bill - who served as a board member for Friendship House - has arranged for this donation. The full purchase price of this quilt will go directly to helping Friendship House help the homeless in Northwest Washington.

Take advantage of the opportunity to purchase this amazing piece of art and support feeding and sheltering the homeless. Joan Colvin sadly passed away in September of 2007, this is your chance to own a peice of her legacy!"Joan Colvin [was] a studio quilt artist, the author of three books and a lecturer and teacher.
