Description |
Four part ensemble comprising a dress, belt, sleeveless tunic and portable machine cover. Shaped cinch belt is made of a variety of quilt pieces in yellow, pink and brown. Most seem to be antique, with the addition of one gold flowered fabric. The belt has an enlarged and pointed front section onto which a batiked fan similar to one in the dress fabric has been appliqued. Each section of the pieced belt has been machine quilted in pale gold thread. The belt backing is the same black, white and red print as the dress skirt. It is fastened at the front with large sections of Velcro. |
Provenance |
Email correspondence from Georgia Bonesteel in 2015: "An ensemble complete with quilted cover case for my Bernina. The dress is based on antique blocks worked around colorful batik fabric. A loose decorative apron accents the full skirt which is all tied together with a cinch quilted belt. The tinker's sleeveless coat opens to reveal notions and necessary items for quilt making. Quilted on the entire surface of the long vest are the words, "Have Machine, Will Travel." |
