Ashley Selfie with Dr. Pecker by Rhonda Denney
This week’s puzzle spotlights a quilt entitled Ashley Selfie with Dr. Pecker made by artist Rhonda Denney of Canon City, Colorado for the 2014 Quilt Alliance “Inspired By” contest and auction. The piece is made using turn edge and raw edge applique, commercial cotton fabric, fabric inks/paint, color pencils and pastels, thread sketching
Artist’s Statement
When browsing the Quilt Index for inspiration, I found one with appliquéd children playing with chickens. My niece Ashley, typical of youngsters today, sends me Selfies (a self-portrait photograph taken by her camera phone) of her and her pets. One selfie in particular captures her personality and that of her chicken Dr. Pecker. That was my inspiration for this quilt. In this age of portable technology one can truly capture interesting, whimsical, wonderful moments.
