Color Improvisations 2

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION curated by NANCY CROW

Article by Robert Shaw

Color Improvisations 2 is a special invitational exhibition of contemporary quilts curated by Nancy Crow, one of the most celebrated and in_ uential quilt artists and teachers in the world. Color Improvisations 2 includes 50 large and spectacular quilts by 43 artists from Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, Japan, and the United States. All of the quilts were made specifically for the exhibition, which includes a new quilt by Nancy Crow.

Color Improvisations 2 grew out of what Nancy Crow calls her “ongoing mission to bring back the majesty, strength, and energy of large textile works, specifically large quilts.”

About Gertrude Made

In this very retro first name a small joke is hidden!

In this very retro first name a small joke is hidden: one day Cathi Bessell-Browne was complaining to her father that he had called her Cathi, which she thought a very ordinary name. He immediately replied, laughing, “Don’t complain, as you were almost called Gertrude!” She never forgot this story and when she needed to fi nd a ‘stage name’ for her business, she didn’t have to look further!

On her business card, under Gertrude Made, it says dressmaker, designer and farmer!

Raised on the family farm, Cathi never left the immense stretches of the outback of Western Australia where along with her husband she runs a farm of 7000 sheep.

Her Nana taught her to sew, with patience and care and Cathi is very grateful to her for this, as she has had a passion for sewing ever since.

Cathi loves to sew dresses that she says make women feel beautiful inside and out.
