8738 - The Power of Transition
Michele Bilyeu
Salem, OR USA
Width: 11.75" Length: 9"
Designer: Original designMaterials/Techniques: Cotton fabrics, soy wax crayons, fabric paint and glitter, free motion stitching and beading on the back.
Artist Statement: Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "Power resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state." We can see this in the changes of life, of time, and in the states of being from birth to death. Yet, even Alzheimer's disease cannot take away from the true power of the human spirit as it seeks to evolve by disintegration, into a reintegration we cannot always see, or understand.
Contact Michele
Dedication: For my beloved father who has already passed, with great love and great power, into his own transitioned state of being.

All the stitching is done by hand except the pieced background and the facing. In addition to the fabric label, this quilt has my embroidered initials on the back.
Artist Statement: This bird just popped out of my head and onto the fabric and before I knew it she had become a whole personality. The phrase, "be yourself", came to me while working on it and I ended up stitching the words right on the front. I really love this piece and see it as my true creative nature coming forth. This is my own original, one of a kind design.
