Reposted from artist @bisabutler: "I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty.
I could have just as easily picked up a knife or a gun, like many of my childhood friends did... most of whom were murdered or put in prison... but I chose not to go that way. I felt that I could somehow subdue these evils by doing something beautiful that people recognize me by, and thus make a whole different life for myself, which has proved to be so." - Gordon Parks 1912-2006
Mr. Gordon Parks used a camera to fight what he hated the most and I use my sewing machine and fabric. These are the times when I can feel almost hopeless but then I look at what those who came before me did to make positive changes in this world. I look at the barriers that stood in their way and I read about how they defeated them. If they tried there is no way I can say this is too hard.
I am so thrilled to announce that my first artwork using the incredible photographs of Gordon Parks as a source will debut with the Jeffrey Deitch Gallery @jeffreydeitchgallery this June at Art Basel @artbasel Switzerland!
This quilted Art work titled Mobile Madonna is just the first in my new series. The entire collection will debut at the Gordon Parks Foundation @gordonparksfoundation and the Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in NYC ,tba.

I know I haven’t posted In awhile. I kind of went dark after all the drama in this world. I don’t do change well and for the past 4 months it’s been nothing BUT change. Thank you if you are a client who has stuck with me. A friend who has listened. A business who has helped. I have been reading and learning and adjusting to change. All while self evaluating and moving forward! This quilt is from a dear friend/client who never questions what I do in her quilts and is always kind and understanding. Lorraine, I adore you! Celtic design was stitched out in my computer and swirls were freehand. Hope you are all holding up in a world of change! Be kind. #lisascreativequilting #lisaarndt #customquilting #computerquilting #irishchain #quiltsofinstagram #quilting #superiorthreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CDfIz_yHper/?igshid=1cl2paqnvtt3p

My dragon is quilted and bound. I used #superiorthreads mono-poly in smoke and just did mostly straight line stitching. Some are a little crooked. 🙃 @crystallakemqg #dragon #roarroar #makeallthethings #finished #spellbindingquilts #thatpatchworkplace

Early morning quilting on my #jukisewingmachine #juki2010q for QA Judy Walker. I keep thinking of #thestitchtvshow and their phrase "Babies don't care." I think it is making me more relaxed and the quilting smoother. #superiorthreads #superbobs help too. And I'm trying the #craftoptics glasses. That helps too. And the kittens are sleeping. I think that is the most helpful. (at Broadmoor, New Orleans) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrnEpJ8HZj5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=559e7ybw1pod

I love me some feathers and lines! Seriously though... I actually love quilting the lines on each log. It’s like therapy quilting. If you have a #logcabinquilt CALL me! This quilt belongs to, the ever patient, @mazur7628.She really hit this #scrappyquilt out of the park! You know I wanted to keep it... she even snuck in some #kaffefassett fabric. Not sure if I caught it in the photo but look. #whereswaldo 😂 #lisaarndt #gammillquilting #rulerworkquilting #superiorthreads #hobbsbatting #freemotionfeathers #quilt #lisascreativequilting #quiltersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B9N7GgPnnBs/?igshid=12z509ynn3sr0

Lots of lovely Philip Jacobs fabrics used here 💕💖 #Repost @maverickquilts with @get_repost ・・・ Aaaand, It’s back to work for me. 🤪 I’ve been farting around getting ready for the Frida show, and I’m woefully behind on long arm work I have agreed to do for my artist companions. ❤️ They’ve all been very patient, but I’ve got to get cracking! ⚡️ This Guadalupe quilt is created by my sister-in-law, Alethea Gard’ner, whose work is also included in the sewing room installation. 👁 I love what she did with her flowers and her cacti! Lots to love about this! 😍 @aletheagardner @snowleopardfabrics @superiorthreads @handiquilter #guadalupe #rawedgeapplique #longarmquilting #handiquilter #handiquilteravante #superiorthreads
