❤✊🏿🎨#ArtIsAWeapon #MorningMantra #Artist Phyllis Stephens | @little_shepard_girl I Will Change The World Quilt with Sustainable Fabric, 60 x 36 in., 2019 Catalog: [email protected] Reposted from @richardbeaversgallery 🔴 . . Most often changes for the betterment of mankind, are ignited by the will of one person; who fuel many. One person can make a difference... “Be the Change” - Phyllis Stephens ... . Fabric Choices for “I Will Change the World” All of the fabrics in this quilt are 100% High Quality Cotton. Occasionally I have the opportunity to have a fabric designer/houses design specifically [sic] me. . The background - is designed by watercolorist and fabric artist Denise Burkitt. Denise lives in Australia and had promised if I came to visit, she would create a fabric with and for me. About three years ago, I travelled to Australia, and as promised we created a few pieces of fabric together. The background in “I Will Change the World” is one of those fabrics. . However, what I am truly proud of are the other cottons in this quilt. They are from Latifah Saafir Studios | @latifahsaafirstudios, a small black female owned fabric house; which I am honored to do business with. Her fabric line is very high quality and needless to say exceptional.  Because of what this quilt says, stands for, I thought it was imperative I use fabrics from Latifah’s line. - Phyllis Stephens . #PhyllisStephens #AfricanAmericanArt #quilting #textileart #RichardBeaversGallery #BlackArt #BlackArtists #BlackGalleries #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon #BlackGirlArtGeeks🤓 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfy8eEgzhl/?igshid=1bh43uqgo3tx5
