The Fiesta Ware Quilt" 1995. 87"h x 54"w.
Materials: Painted and commercial fabrics. Leather tooled and painted teacups and teapots, ceramic animals and plaques, beads. Mostly hand sewn, quilted, and embroidered. Paint is both airbrushed and brush applied.
Fiesta Wares dancing senorita logo lady makes two appearances in the quilt, along with various painted, stitched, beaded, clay, and tooled leather images of the famous deco dishes. Diary and Dishes--what a mix!! Especially since we began our own Fiesta collection in 1995, finding the Rebel Dish Barn and Fiesta Ware Outlet, near Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, and later the bona fide, one and only Homer Laughlin China Co. factory, only two hours from home. AND, it sells seconds really cheap!! And you can take the factory tour and watch the spinning molds and the waterfall glaze process and see all the really old dishes in their little museum room! And we have some of the limited edition purple stuff, only made for one year! Now there is persimmon and lime green! Oops, they discontinued the lime in 2000!
