Meet Terry Busse and Enjoy Her ART!

This evening DH and I drove to Davis to the Davis Art Center to see a show of Terry Busse's art quilts, the wonderful quilted art of a woman I have come to know through her blog. She only started making her large quilted pieces last spring she told me, and they are wonderfully delightful pieces. She writes little stories and/or poems that go with them. I was amazed at how many she turned out in this short time, the details each contains, and how wonderful they are in every way. I took lots of photos but I'll tell you photos do not do them justice. I had seen some of these on her blog, and I did indeed fall in love with them there, but close up and real is a whole other story. The colors, the fabrics, the textures are so alive and cannot be captured 100% by the best camera. So I felt very fortunate to be there to see them in person. So take what you see here and multiply the beauty of them many many percentiles to realize the full depth of their wonder and awe inspiring greatness. All her works are for sale too. You can contact her at terrybusse.blogspot.com or at busset@sbcglobal.net. I enjoyed meeting Terry too and talking to her. She recognized me first, which was really fun. She startled DH I do believe by telling him she recognized him as well (from my blog posts of course!) Terry reminded me that she found my blog when wanting to learn how to add her stories to cloth and I told her how. I felt good to see that she did that and had her stories on cloth hanging by each art quilt, and will sew them to the backs later on as I do on mine.

To meet Terry Busse, the art quilt artist and her beautifully quilted stories I was entranced by her attention to detail DH and I loved the pockets on this apron we could poke our fingers in... Lynnie Penny Popcorn is a story that went with this quilt about her mom I'd like to know more about... I loved how the veggies laid in the field behind the barn here...

and the wonderful swirls in the sky above... I was happy to see Terry got her stories printed on cloth for all to see and read... There was quite a turn out I like the way Terry layers her layers and leaves frayed edges... And of course I was drawn to this big fat cat sleeping in his red chair.... We compared notes about our husbands old V W vans from the 60's... and one more close up of those delightful pockets!!! Remember to click on photos to see them larger and enjoy the details... If you are in the area to see this show! You won't be disappointed. ;-) I do hope Terry and I will meet up again before too long!
