Jimmy McBride
































Jimmy McBride, Brooklyn artist, is making these fantastical solar system-inspired quilts by hand. His quilts have such a unique personality and he has no experience in quilting or sewing. He draws inspiration from the quilts of Gee's Bend and uses salvaged fabric and old clothes to piece together the work. His blog describes his creative process - a huge amount of work involved in each piece. Amazing!!
