Another fabric mosaic close-up, a (very choppy) dragonfly. Swipe right to see a different angle. Free-motion stitching on commercial fabric scraps. #stitching #quilting #fiberart #lovecolour #lovetexture #lovefiber #lovedragonflies #odonata #mdthreads #michelledobrinart
Full shot of the colour wheel I made for myself a few years ago. This piece (among others) decorates my studio. Free-motion stitching on fabric scraps and wool roving. #stitching #quilting #fiberart #lovecolour #lovetexture #lovefiber #mdthreads #michelledobrinart
Trying out my new phone camera on stitched work in my studio. Here's a close-up of a (square) colour wheel I did for myself a few years ago. Free-motion stitching on fabric scraps and gorgeously coloured and textured wool roving. #stitching #quilting #fiberart #lovecolour #lovetexture #lovefiber #mdthreads #michelledobrinart
Since I seem to be on a roll with this, here's a close-up of another old quilt, based on entomologist/artist Barry Flahey's "The Predator". Hand quilted and embroidered back in the days before I learned to free-motion quilt. Swipe to see the original (and check out more details about this piece on Flahey's site: http://www.magma.ca/~bflahey/darner.htm) #fiberart #quilting #stitching #textile #handquilting #embroidery #lovecolour #lovetexture #lovefiber #barryflahey #lovebugs #dragonfly #darner #odonata #aeshna #lepidoptera #butterfly #cloudedsulphur #michelledobrinart #mdthreads
Close-up of my "ELA Gothic" quilt, my spoofy interpretation of the iconic American Gothic painting, made circa 2003-2004. I don't have this quilt anymore (it was a gift), and only have a (decent) colour photocopy of it. Brings back memories of the Experimental Lakes Area. #fiberart #quilting #stitching #textile #lovecolour #lovetexture #lovefiber #experimentallakesarea #loveela #americangothic #grantwood #michelledobrinart #mdthreads
Another shot of my presentation last week to my University of Windsor biology colleagues, etc. This is me telling the story of how I came to quilt my rendition of the American Gothic painting (I call it "ELA Gothic"), back... oh, about 15 years ago. Thanks @fallenfallacy for the photos! #fiberart #quilting #stitching #textile #lovecolour #lovetexture #lovefiber #presentation #americangothic #grantwood #michelledobrinart #mdthreads (at Windsor, Ontario)
I gave a presentation the other day to a group of University of Windsor biology colleagues, and family and friends.

Another work in progress shot, abstract fiber art cards made out of scraps (fabric, paper, other fibers) to be turned into stitched cards, bookmarks, or matted prints. #fiberart #quilting #stitching #textile #mixedmedia #fabric #paper #upcycled #repurposed #cigarband #postagestamps #lovecolour #lovetexture #lovefiber #michelledobrinart #mdthreads
