On Sunday, I attended the reception of Chrysalis, a life retrospective of fiber artist Janice Campion's work. The show was held at Grailville, a retreat and education center, with a Fall Harvest Supper following. Most of the food was grown at Grailville and it was delicious!

detail of The Guardian by Janice Campion
The full quilt follows. Janice hand dyes, batiks, and paints much of her fabric. Most quilting is done by hand. Some decorative sewing is done on machine. When seen in person and up close, the detail of her work is truly stunning.
The Guardian by Janice Campion, 1993
"The challenge of my work is to combine both decorative and figurative elements." This work was inspired by Gustav Klimt, and was part of an international show in Paris inspired by the works of Klimt.

photographer's choice
detail from the hem of a doll's dress by Janice Campion
This dress is made entirely of woven strips of fabric about a quarter inch wide. Each strip has stitched details along its entire length.
I had to show you the entire doll even though this is a bad photo. I wish I had taken more photos of the details.
Janice's quilts have been in Juried and Invitational Shows throughout the United States and in Europe. They have appeared in Quilt magazines, on the PBS show, Sew Creative, HGTV's The Carol Duvall Show, and on the cover of a textbook.
