I met Margit Kagerer the first time I visited Evelyn in Arizona. Margit is a member of the Maverick’s Art Quilt Guild and I’m delighted to call her my friend. On my recent visit she was kind enough to invite a group of us to her beautiful home. We were treated to breathtaking views from every window
as well as a “gallery tour” of her art and home. I thought you would enjoy seeing some of her inspiring work.
Don’t you love the way the quilt fits the architectural detail of the fireplace?
What a whimsical and clever tumbling block display!
Margit has won many awards for her quilts and she shared her collection of miniatures with us.
I was impressed with all of her work, but I was particularly intrigued with her current creative use of men’s neckties. I guarantee you haven’t seen tie quilts like these before :-)!
She even creates small landscapes completely from the ties!
For a virtual tour of more of Margit’s work, go to: http://www.arizonaquiltershalloffame.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48
Thank you Margit, for a lovely visit and for your kind permission to share your work on my blog!
Has anyone else done something unique with neckties???
