Longarm Quilting – Birgit Schueller
Having outgrown the classic roots of my work, all of a sudden my own ways unveiled – manifold, everything but straight forward, colorful, sometimes still a bit calm, often sassy, experimental, inspired by travel impressions, nature, life. No more, but no less either.
What remains is the multi-layeredness of my work – some is planned, much arises, may simply emerge. And thus, this journey will continue – following my own ways.
My exhibit “Classic Roots” consists of all my prize-winning show quilts and quilted garments from the years 2005 to 2016. It’s the summary and the conclusion of my work’s classic phase.
In parts, this exhibition has been on display several times nationally and internationally:
2014 – International Quiltfestival Wilwerwiltz/LUX
2018 – Grit’s Life & Friends Quitfest in Suderburg/DE
2019 – Prague Patchwork Meeting in Prag/CZ
2019 – Decabrists Museum in Irkutsk/RUS
2019 – Nadelwelt Friedrichshafen/DE
2022 – VHS Regionalverband Saarbrücken/DE
Our life – private, as society or in general – often seems to be highly complicated these days.
However, when concentrating on the similarities, the basic needs and desires, it becomes apparent very quickly that people everywhere are longing for the same things – peace, health and a livelihood that allows them and there children to lead a good life.
These desires and needs form the bond that ties us together as members of the global community – despite all differences, which in consequence we should refuse to pay attention to. Diversity, its possibilities and the similarities are what counts!
