Textile artist Michele Sanandajian’s incredible talent was noticed early on by her art college professor. It was with his encouragement that she applied and was accepted to the Parson’s School of Design as a Junior. But, it was due her desire to learn all of the fundamentals, and probably much to her parent’s dismay, that she began as a Freshman. It is this drive and need to push the boundaries of what constitutes a quilt, that make Michele’s collage work and her use of out-of-the-ordinary mediums stand out. Bits of dryer sheets, netting for produce, candy wrappers, and scraps of leather make their way onto a surface painted design in a layer-by-layer effect using her Innova longarm. Michele is fearless, putting the machine through its paces, with stunning results. Finishing off the work, is her hand spun yarn that becomes the edge finish of the quilt. Than, TQS catches up with textile artist, teacher, and “Dean of Corrections of the Chicago School of Fusing”, Laura Wasilowski, in Sisters, OR, to see her round “Little Planet” series and how she binds these unusually shaped quilts.
