The mixed media and art quilts of Rosemary Claus-Gray are inspired by the lines and shapes Rosemary observes in nature.
Rosemary’s site houses a gallery of contemporary textile work. Of particular pleasure are the design studies and a small section titled “Drawing with a thread”. I have often observed that embroidery is rarely seen as a graphic medium in its own right but Rosemary uses thread to draw on fabric.
Sharon,
Rosemary’s art quilts are delicous and like you I was particularly taken with the thread painting.

I was lucky enough to purchase one of Rosemary’s pieces in Virginia Spiegel’s Fiber Art for a Cause auction a few years bag. Everytime I look at it, I’m reminded how effective a fairly simple embroidered line can be.
Thank you for the link, Sharon, the work there is beautiful!
