Paper Art Quilts by Mary Hambly

Stenciled, marbled, printed and over dyed papers from around the world are cut, pieced and then stitched using a zig-zag sewing machine. Once combined, the papers are reinvented into a composition of rich new patterns, vivid colors and striking textures. The image is then completed with a border, also of paper, and the result is a one of a kind paper art quilt.

This blog is devoted to sharing her evolution as a textile artist and her work with the Paper Art Quilt.
