Will Litigate For Food, 96 x 112 inches by O.V. Brantley, 2006.

2005 Office Quilt Unveiled at Art Station Gallery

For those of you who follow the ramblings in this blog, you know that I make a signature quilt for my office each year. The 2005 quilt was kept secret until it was unveiled at the opening reception of the Brown Sugar Stitchers Quilt exhibit at the Art Station Gallery in Stone Mountain, GA.

The quilt is called Will Litigate for Food. It is a large quilt containing 42 signature log cabin blocks. It measures 96 x 112 inches. The signature blocks contain sometimes funny, sometimes serious, expressions by the staff. The back of the quilt, which depicts book shelves in a library, is as beautiful as the front.

Will Litigate for Food will be on display at the Art Station Gallery until August 20, 2006.
