squares in stripes:
I shirret stripes.
I love to watch the colors
go together. Then I lay the
squares out on the painting
studio floor. I make the color
POP. I shirret along the
sides with black and white
to make a Matisse Jazz >>
contemporary piece with
rhythm. I use the strong,
long-spun professional
rugmakers' cord in colors
so they'll last 200 years.

round:
In 1972, the owner of
the Broome Street Bar
had a pattern-cutting
warehouse and gave us
cotton decorator fabric
scraps. I made this be-
tween illustration assign-
mentsin my rooftop loft
at 17 Park Ave. Sue
Schwartz, Crochet Guild of
America, loved it and said,
"Shirret will be very popular.
It has the look of a quilt."rows:
Louise McCrady designed >
this after a Navaho weaving.

style: prep West Hartford
weejun, pink flower pappa-
galo & brogues. Exhibited
in traveling fiberarts show
in 25 museums in Texas.
If the materials used had
been oil paints, this would
be a 1990's geometric
abstraction. Without a bor-
der, it was contemporary
- the image it made was a
question. It had potential
to be many things. An art-
work is hypothetical - it's
an experiment that doesn't
have an answer. But this
has a border, so it's a quilt.
rows: 8' long hall runner of polyester scraps
quilt: two long strips laced together.
rows: a quilt look-alike made as one piece with a border.quilt: 1988 Granny Square look-alike hall runner made
in squares. The design was charted out on graph paper.
