I thought that the crazy quilt style would allow me to tell the story of my father's life and career, and to use mementos to embellish it. The pattern and the quilt uses a lot of symbolism. The quilt is done primarily in orange and blue, the colors of the university where he taught for 40 years. Since he always wore a white shirt and tie to teach, the quilt contains a shirt placket complete with buttons and a shirt pocket with his name tag attached. The quilt border is representative of a bookshelf. The border is made of pieces of my father's old ties, cut into strips, along with the names of the classes he taught cross-stitched on Aida cloth.\"\r\nOther techniques used include: embroidery, photo transfer, \"beadworks, buttons, mementos, and counted cross-stitch\"\r\nHow did you choose the materials used in your quilt? \"My quilt evolved.

This banner isn't quilted. Sometimes judges let my work into quilt shows because they like the humor or artistry -- but it really isn't a quilt.\"\r\n\r\n\"I draw on black cloth with chalk, sew through to colors that are placed beneath the black and cut away the black.\"\r\nHow did you choose the materials used in your quilt? \"I use mostly chintzes and upholstery fabrics -- anything that can be machine stitched. I have boxes of cold fabric in my unheated garage. Perfectly perfect strangers send me fabric they think would fit in my quilts. Isn't that amazing! Sometimes the ugliest cloth is super for birch bark on stones.\"\r\n\"I started to enjoy Russian folk art when I moved to Alaska and wanted to make a still life about the big Tula samovar that was in my dining room. That grew into a show of 15 or so banners based on Russian themes. Fairy tales, heroes, legends, Firebirds, Bogatyrs, saints and dragons -- really just a lot of giant illustrations in fabric.\"\r\nHow long have you been making quilts? How did you learn to quilt? \"I used to make regular quilted quilts for beds. . . I started that about 26 years ago. I came to this reverse applique style because I wanted the look of hand drawn lines. I taught myself. I used to be a printmaker -- the layering of reverse applique is similar to multicolored block printmaking -- there is a certain amount of 'plan ahead' involved.\"\r\nWhat was your primary reason for entering the Lands' End contest? Do you frequently enter your quilts in competition? \"I usually do solo shows -- I think this was my 1st competition. I enter competitions now only if I know non-traditional quilts are acceptable. Actually, I am 1 of 12 quilters who meet once a month to help and criticize each others work. The members of Art Quilt Network North told me not to enter this contest -- so I did! Usually they are right about things esthetic, however.\"\r\nHas being a winner in the Land's End contest made a difference in your life? Has it changed the way you look at your work as a quilt maker? \"I love to get letters from people I don’t know. Anytime photos of banners appear some new interesting correspondence occurs. My work as an artist happens after my whole day as a teacher, I'm trying hard not to imitate myself.\"","QuiltTopF054":"Gant, Alice","LocMadeF057a":"Anchorage","ProvStateF057d":"Alaska (AK)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"ReasonsF060":["Challenge or Contest entry","Art or personal expression","Personal income"],"ContestListF071a":"This quilt was part of the Lands' End All-American Quilt Contest. 1994 Judges' Choice Winner","RelItemsF088a":"http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/qlt:@FIELD(DOCID+@LIT(le072))","OwnershipF082":"Private","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"description":"This quilt is part of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress \"Quilts and Quiltmaking in American: 1978-1996 exhibit.

I always work with 100% cotton fabrics. I wanted an 'old' feel to the quilt so I chose muted colors. During the gulf war, my daughter, Sara, encouraged me to make a quilt to show support for our troops. I did not have a plan when I began the quilt. I had seen a photo of an antique Americana quilt in a book and that quilt had stars around the border. I was intrigued by that, so I went ahead an made the border first, not knowing what I would put in the middle. Of course, it had to have the 13 stripes and the field of blue, but I was lost as to what I wanted to do next. I attended a local quilt show and a quilter had made an eagle wall hanging from a stained glass pattern. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to put an eagle on my quilt. Once the eagle was completed, I decided the quilt needed to have 50 stars. There are 26 stars around the border, so I appliqued another 24 in the field of blue. I thought I was finished but was not satisfied because the quilt felt \"flat.\" Sara and I were driving in the car when the Lee Greenwood song \"God Bless the USA\" came on the radio. We looked at each other and both said \"That has to go on the quilt!\" I wrote the song out on graph paper, then taped it to the back of the white stripes and traced it on to the fabric with a permanent marker.\"\r\nThis quilt was made \"during Desert Storm - Gulf War, to show support for our troops.\"\r\nHow long have you been making quilts? \"Began quilting in 1986. This was the 2nd bed size quilt I made.\"\r\n\r\nHow did you learn to quilt? \"Took a class at a local quilt shop.\"\r\nWhat was your primary reason for entering the Lands' End contest? Do you frequently enter your quilts in competition? \"A friend saw the advertisement for the quilt contest and urged me to enter. I had never entered a contest before. I quilt for personal satisfaction, not recognition or money.\"\r\nHas being a winner in the Land's End contest made a difference in your life? Has it changed the way you look at your work as a quilt maker? \"After the contest, I received many many cards and letters from women whose husbands and sons served in the Gulf War. Most wanted the pattern, which I could not give them since Lands' End now owned the rights. I sold the quilt for $10,000 and made another identical quilt which hangs in my home.\"","QuiltTopF054":"Webb, Marianne","LocMadeF057a":"Roswell","ProvStateF057d":"Georgia (GA)","ProvCountryF057f":["United States"],"ReasonsF060":["Art or personal expression"],"QDesignF060b":["Bedding, daily use"],"ContestListF071a":"This quilt was part of the Lands' End All-American Quilt Contest. 1992 1st Place National Winner.","RelItemsF088a":"http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/qlt:@FIELD(DOCID+@LIT(le001))","OwnershipF082":"Private","OwnerCountryF086b":["United States"],"description":"This quilt is part of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress \"Quilts and Quiltmaking in America: 1978-1996\" exhibit.
